Abstract

UAS(Unmanned Aircraft System) has been used a lot in military applications but recently its usage is expanding to commercial applications due to its recent technical development and its market is expected to grow rapidly in the future. In hyper-connectivity society, especially UAS would play major role as an one of potential infrastructures for the architecture of the next 5G system. The ultimate goal is the successful integration of UAS in NAS(National Airspace System) relies heavily on ensuring reliable spectrum for the robust CNPC(Command and Non-Payload Communication) links as well as payload links for other various applications in the upcoming hyper-connectivity era. In this paper, we have focused on the analysis of the existing frequencies for UAS radio-control and the current issues for CNPC and payload frequencies, and proposed future efficient utilization policy for UAS in the hyper-connectivity society.

UAS(Unmanned Aircraft System)는 과거 군용으로 국한되어 활용되었으나, 최근 기술발전에 힘입어 점차 민간용 시장으로 확대되고 있으며, 그 시장 규모가 급격히 성장할 것으로 예상된다. 특히 초연결 시대의 UAS의 이용 형태는 넥스트(next) 5G 시스템 아키텍처에서 하나의 가능한 기반시설로 큰 역할을 할 것이다. UAS에서의 궁극적인 목표는 국가 공역 시스템(NAS: National Airspace System)으로의 통합 운용이며, 이를 위해 무인 비행체 제어를 위한 비업무용(non-payload) 주파수뿐만 아니라, 초연결시대의 다양한 활용분야에 필요한 업무용(payload) 주파수 확보가 중요한 요소이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 UAS 무선조정용 주파수의 분석과 비업무용 주파수 개발 연구동향 및 향후 UAS 주파수의 효율적 활용방안을 제안한다.
