Downlink Interference Analysis of UAV-Based mmWave Fronthaul for Small Cell Networks by Dabiri, Mohammad Taghi

“…Using numerical results show that the analytical and simulation results match one another. The results show that, in the presence of UAV's fluctuations, optimizing radiation pattern shape requires balancing an inherent tradeoff between increasing pattern gain to reduce the interference as well as to compensate large path loss at mmWave frequencies and decreasing it to alleviate the adverse effect of a UAV's vibrations.…”
