RSSI-Based Heading Control for Robust Long-Range Aerial Communication in UAV Networks

Directional antenna-based aerial networking (DAAN) is referred as a promising technology to meet the dynamic data demands for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). However, the narrow radiation pattern of directional antennas and the mobility of UAVs make it challenging to form a robust DAAN. This paper presents a heading control strategy for UAV-carried directional antennas to establish a robust long-range aerial communication channel. The heading...
