| Abstract: |
| The authors introduce the main application scenarios of unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) as an airborne information platform,and discuss the key role of UAVs in implementing a flexible intelligent edge network(IEN) for the 6G multi-access and user-centric network architecture.According to UAV’s different capabilities in communication,sensing and computing,they summarize key enabling technologies for UAV assisted IEN,e.g.,UAV self-organized network(SON),UAV integrated sensing and communication(ISAC),UAV edge computing,etc.Focusing on new technical challenges raised by combining UAVs with 6G new radio technologies in building up an IEN,they discuss potential future research topics such as UAV channel modeling,3D deployment and path planning,limited battery life and energy efficiency,network security,and heterogeneous network integration for UAV-assisted intelligent edge networking. |
