Abstract
A challenge swarm unmanned aerial vehicles (swarm UAVs)-based wireless communication systems have been focused on channel modeling in various environments. In this paper, we present the characterized path loss air-to-air (A2A) channel modeling-based measurement and prediction model. The channel model was considered using A2A Two-Ray (A2AT-R) extended path loss modeling. The prediction model was considered using an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm to train the measured dataset. To evaluate the measurement result, path loss models between the A2AT-R model and the prediction model are shown. We show that the prediction model using ANN is optimal to train the measured data for the A2A channel model. To discuss the result, the parametric prediction errors such as mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and R-square (R2), are performed.
