Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Spectrum Usage in Drone-based 5G eMBB Systems for Emergency Services
The expectation for increased capabilities of 5G networks opens the way for
new verticals to be developed, with a growing interest in providing 5G
connectivity for emergency service support. In this paper we propose a
drone-based deployment scenario, where multiple drones make up a wireless link
to a 5G ground base station (BS), to provide connectivity to areas affected by
emergency events. Assuming that a part of the BS's available bandwidth will be
allocated to the emergency link in order to provide a high-speed and reliable
connection, we present a spatio-temporal analysis of the effect of such a
service on commercial 5G traffic, based on the locality, time of occurrence and
severity of the event. Our work is based on recent advances in spatial analysis
of BS locations, and extended datasets of emergency events in the area of
greater London.Comment: 5 pages, 10 figures, BAPCO 202
