近年来，研究人员研究了空中平台，以向地面无线电终端提供无线覆盖。使用空中平台提供无线覆盖的优势有很多，包括在偏远地区的覆盖范围更大，更好的视线条件和对某些自然灾害的恢复能力。在这种情况下，我们研究了在空中网络中使用LTE和Wi-Fi技术的性能。更准确地说，我们考虑了澳大利亚维多利亚州墨尔本的一个实际城市场景，并进行了光线追踪模拟，以表征空对地信道的路径损失。然后，我们利用光线追踪的信道损耗进行系统级模拟，以评估LTE和WiFi 802.11g技术在空中网络中的性能。
In recent times, aerial platforms have been investigated to provide wireless coverage to terrestrial radio terminals. The advantages of using aerial platforms to provide wireless coverage are many including larger coverage in remote areas, better line-of-sight conditions and resilience to certain natural disasters. In this context, we investigate the performance of using LTE and Wi-Fi technologies in aerial networks. More precisely, we consider a practical urban scenario from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and perform ray-tracing simulations to characterize the path-loss of the air-to-ground channel. We then perform system-level simulations utilizing the channel-loss from ray-tracing to evaluate the performance of LTE and WiFi 802.11g technologies in aerial networks.
