Summary
This chapter provides a broad overview on several key applications and use cases of UAVs in various wireless networking scenarios. For the role of a UAV base station, we focus on the use of UAVs in a variety of applications, includingpublic safety, the Internet of Things, caching, edge computing, and smart cities. Then, we discuss a handful of important applications for UAV user equipment, and we show how these applications require UAV users to connect to ground cellular networks. While discussing the various applications, we also provide an in-depth exposition of the associated communications and networking challenges in each application.
