Redefining travel paradigms: New wireless communication solutions to flying cars
About
The existing ground-based transportation systems suffer from various challenges, including the high cost of infrastructure development, limited land space, and a growing urban population. Hence, one solution to tackle this problem is by moving from 2D transportation systems towards 3D mobility that will improve urban air mobility and help reach last-mile regions.
Nevertheless, the safe operation of flying cars will require well-developed wireless communication networks; however, existing communication technologies need enhancement to provide services to flying cars. Therefore, this work describes several potential innovations that make communication between flying cars and the ground feasible."
