Abstract

Ubiquity of connectivity can be achieved by expanding the terrestrial networks horizontally. However, to achieve ubiquity in a cost efficient manner, vertical expansion is inevitable, and hence, networking platforms would occupy the three dimensional space, taking advantage of the proven superior propagation conditions of aerial communications. In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based multihop backhauling link is studied in terms of end-to-end (E2E) outage probability. In specific, we consider the effect of the angular fluctuations of hovering UAV relays which employ amplify-and-forward (AF) relying protocol. The amplification gain is studied in light of outage probability to compensate UAV hovering fluctuation.
