With the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, it has become a research hotspot to configure massive MIMO technology on UAV communication platform. Massive MIMO technology can significantly improve the spectrum and power efficiency of the system by utilizing spatial dimension wireless resources. However, the massive MIMO technique also brings the drawback such as high implementation complexity and high hardware when directly applied to UAV systems. In this project, we plan to investigate the channel modeling and two-stage precoding algorithm design for UAV massive communication systems. Firstly, we formulate the correlation model and derive space-time correlation function based on the propagation characteristics in UAV. In addition, we use various mathematical tools such as the stochastic matrix and the convex optimization theory to analyze the channel capacity in UAV-MIMO systems. Secondly, the UAV massive MIMO and mmWave massive MIMO channel models are established, and the key factors affecting the change of correlation function are analyzed. Finally, the two-stage precoding algorithm with low complexity is designed by using the space-time correlation function of the 5G model of the project, which provides theoretical support for the transmission scheme of 5G UAV communication systems with high speed and low complexity.
