While Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are expected to introduce disruptive innovations in our society, it is foreseen that the used communication technology is the key factor that can unlock their potential. To this end, the upcoming generation of mobile networks, 5G-and-beyond, are envisioned to be the communication standards to support diverse UAV applications. This will also enable UAVs to benefit from the limitless progress achieved in mobile systems. To facilitate the support of UAV services in 5G-and-beyond networks, this article introduces a framework that links the mobile telecommunication domain to the UAV domain. The proposed framework reflects an operational view enabling UAV operators to prepare and deploy their applications over different 5G mobile telecommunication networks. Moreover, the framework allows UAV operators to customize mobile systems in accordance with the specifications of their target services and to constantly receive analytical and statistical data on their running applications. Furthermore, in order to ensure network services (dedicated to UAV applications) over heterogeneous mobile systems, this article also discusses the federation of 5G networks.

在 5G 及以后的移动系统中支持基于无人机的服务

虽然无人驾驶飞行器 (UAV) 有望在我们的社会中引入颠覆性创新，但可以预见，所使用的通信技术是释放其潜力的关键因素。为此，下一代移动网络 5G 及更高版本被设想为支持各种无人机应用的通信标准。这也将使无人机受益于移动系统所取得的无限进步。为了促进5G及以后网络中无人机服务的支持，本文介绍了一个将移动电信域链接到无人机域的框架。拟议的框架反映了一种操作观点，使无人机运营商能够在不同的 5G 移动电信网络上准备和部署他们的应用程序。此外，该框架允许无人机运营商根据其目标服务的规范定制移动系统，并不断接收有关其运行应用程序的分析和统计数据。此外，为了确保异构移动系统上的网络服务（专用于无人机应用），本文还讨论了 5G 网络的联合。
