This course focuses on non-terrestrial networks, particularly those involving artificial intelligence, communication technologies, and deployment techniques built on drone platforms. The theoretical portion will cover drone technology, artificial intelligence techniques, and communication technologies in sequence. Subsequently, the course will teach students practical drone operations and the implementation of AI-driven drone systems.
Students will explore the concepts behind non-terrestrial networks, such as drone systems and aerial communication networks. After that, the course will cover hands-on drone operations and how to implement AI-driven drone systems. Finally, students will learn how non-terrestrial networks are expected to evolve and become a key component of future 6th Generation (6G) wireless networks.
