Background
This workshop will focus on integrating UAVs into 5G-and-beyond cellular systems, to both unlock the full potential of UAVs and create new business opportunities for the cellular industry. This workshop will consider cellular-connected UAV communications, UAV-assisted terrestrial communications, and UAV-to-UAV communications, which are all complementary and have received significant interest from industry and academia.
