Abstract:

As the application scope of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) expands and the tasks become more complicated, the demands for large bandwidth, high data rate and antijamming capability in UAV-to-UAV (V2V) communication grow rapidly.With abundant spectrum resource, millimeter-wave (mmWave) array communication has been one of the key technologies to support V2V communications.Focusing on the emerging field of mmWave array V2V communication, the difficulties and challenges in point-to-point communication and unmanned aerial vehicle ad-hoc network were analyzed.The problems and approaches for channel modeling, robust beamforming, secure communication in point-to-point communication and neighbor discovery, routing decisions, resource allocation, distributed deployment in unmanned aerial vehicle ad-hoc network were reviewed.Some valuable research directions were summarized to provide inspiration for future relevant research.

Key words: UAV communication, mmWave communication, array antenna, point-to-point communication, unmanned aerial vehicle ad-hoc network
