Abstract
In this work, we investigate the significance of position accuracy for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) during millimeter-wave (mmWave) channel measurements. The studies are performed at 28 and 60 GHz frequencies. First, we study the effect of the error in the link distances on the 3GPP channel models. Second, we present ray tracing simulations performed in urban environment. We verify that the horizontal/vertical accuracy of ±0.5/0.8 meters may be enough to get reliable data. It should be noted that better accuracy can still improve the results but will require more effort to achieve. In addition, it is confirmed that more severe effect will be visible on the path loss values, while other parameters are not affected as strongly for the LOS case. We present the root mean square error for different positioning accuracies with respect to the reference case, i.e. no error in the UAV position, in angular and time domains which increases linearly with the decreasing accuracy.
