    An application of drone-based wireless networking in agricultural scenarios needs to analyze the radio link budget because of the uncertain propagation from the surrounding. This paper presents a link budget analysis between drone as a drone small cell (DSC) and Internet of Things (IoT) as a ground sensor. The measurement results show the received signal strength indicator (RSSI), path loss, and delay spread at 2.4 GHz frequency when considering the numbers of ground sensors to 15 points and use a single drone enabled with WiFi portable link. It can be found that drone DSC can compensate for the limited power of ground sensors and link budget analysis can optimally evaluate the communication channel in this scenario.

    The purpose of this work was to investigate the air-to-air channel model (A2A-CM) for unmanned aerial vehicle- (UAV-) enabled wireless communications. Specifically, a low-altitude small UAV needs to characterize the propagation mechanisms from ground reflection. In this paper, the empirical path loss channel characterizations of A2A ground reflection CM based on different scenarios were presented by comparing the wireless communication modules for UAVs. Two types of wireless communication modules both WiFi 2.4 GHz and LoRa 868 MHz frequency were deployed to study the path loss channel characterization between Tx-UAV and Rx-UAV. To investigate the path loss, three types of experimental channel models, such as CM1 grass floor, CM2 soil floor, and CM3 rubber floor, were considered under the ground reflection condition. The analytical A2A Two-Ray (A2AT-R) model and the modified Log-Distance model were simulated to compare the correlation with the measurement data. The measurement results in the CM3 rubber floor scenario showed the impact from the ground reflection at 1 m to 3 m Rx-UAV altitudes both 2.4 GHz and 868 MHz which was converged to the A2AT-R model and related to the modified Log-Distance model above 3 m. It clear that there is no ground reflection effect from the CM1 grass floor and CM2 soil floor. This work showed that the analytical A2AT-R model and the modified Log-Distance model can deploy to model the path loss of A2A-CM by using WiFi and LoRa wireless modules.

    The objective of this work is to study the ground reflection modeling case study of air-to-air (A2A) channel modeling for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled wireless communications. We consider the Internet of Things (IoT) WiFi modules at 2.4 GHz standard enabled with the transmitter Tx- UAV and the receiver Rx-UAV. The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and path loss characteristics are addressed by using the free space path loss (FSPL) model, air-to-air two- ray (A2AT-R) model, and the modified Log-distance path loss model. The measurement results indicated that the limit of power constraint of WiFi modules was a level at 10 m Rx-UAV altitude, and the received sensitivity was limited at -95 dBm. It is shown that the impact of ground reflection path loss was characterized at 1-3 m Rx-Uavaltitudes which are accordingly related to the A2AT-R model and the relative resulting with the modified Log- distance model above 4 m Rx-UAV altitudes.

    Performance Analysis of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Assisted Wireless IoT Sensors Based on Air-to-Ground Communication Model for Smart Farming
    We used an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and IoT as a new platform for soil moisture monitoring based on the air-to-ground (A2G) communication model. We investigated an energyefficient UAV trajectory by considering the power outage probability and transmission rate for UAV-assisted wireless IoT sensor connectivity. We considered the closed-form power outage probability for IoT sensors located within the coverage zone of a UAV drone small cell. We conducted experiments in the Napier and Ruzi grass farms with IoT sensors for detecting soil moisture along a drip line irrigation system located in the fields. The power outage probability is given for different UAV heights and transmission rates, which contributes to reliable communication with IoT sensors.
