Drone Interference in Geographically Limited Local Mobile TDD Networks

Abstract

Local wireless mobile networks using LTE or 5G technology have recently gained interest in many industrial applications. Using drones opens up possibilities for many novel services to be deployed in local networks. From the network point of view, having a mobile User Equipment (UE) in the air poses additional source of interference towards neighbouring local networks. This paper develops a calculation model for the interference and verifies the model with a field measurement campaign.
