Authors:

Keywords: UAV communications; drone-to-drone communications; massive UAV scenarios.

Abstract:
In this article, we look 20 to 30 years ahead and provide some thoughts about communication technologies for future massive Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) scenarios in the Very Low Level (VLL) airspace. We use the term “massive” to stress that the number of UAVs will be in the order of the number of cars as of today: we treat scenarios where the number of UAVs is about 1 UAV per person. We expect UAVs to fly autonomously. Onboard sensors, communication and software will be key elements to ensure a safe operation. We address fundamental questions and provide thoughts on communication solutions.
