Problems solved by technology

However, the beamforming of land communication mmWave MM mainly solves the beam tracking of the linear array 2D channel. The tracking angle only involves the azimuth angle, not the elevation angle. The linear array limits the coverage of the beam.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a beam tracking method and system for UAV communication. Background technique [0002] The mobile Internet and the Internet of Things drive the rapid development of the fifth-generation mobile communication (5G). Facing 2020 and beyond, mobile data traffic will show explosive growth. In order to cope with the explosive growth of data traffic in 5G, it is necessary to increase the channel bandwidth and configure a large-scale antenna array for the base station or terminal to increase the number of independent spatial streams or enhance the robustness of the signal. For some temporary hotspot scenarios, such as concerts and sports events, the temporary construction of small cell infrastructure is not only costly, but also has low utilization; for some emergency communication scenarios, such as earthquakes, fires, tsunamis and other disaster-stricken areas, ...
