The drone-type base station will be an optimal platform as a way of information sharing for efficient operation of the military force due to their high network flexibility. It is expected that the characteristics of the drone-type base station which would freely adjust the altitude can be used to offset the propagation attenuation characteristics of the millimeter-wave frequency band by securing the stable Line of Sight. In this paper, we proposed a framework for evaluation drone-type base station that can be utilized as a future military communication network by performing modeling for performance analysis that can reflect various factors.

At present, TICN has been developed and distributed for military command control. TICN is known as the 3.5G mobile communication technology based on WiBro, which shows technical limitation in the field operation situation. Accordingly, the drone-type base station platform is attracting attention as an alternative to overcome technical limitations such as difficulty in securing communication LoS and limiting expeditious network configuration. In this study, we performed simulation performance evaluation of drone-type base station operation in 28 GHz that is considered most suitable for cellular communication within mmWave frequency band. Specifically, we analyzed the changes in throughput and fairness performance according to radio resource management policies such as frequency reuse and scheduling in multi-cell topology. Through this, we tried to provide insights on the operation philosophy on drone-type base station.
