Tethered drone mounted B/FWS antenna for extended coverage area

Source

Source summary

Field Wireless System nodes on mobile platforms use retractable masts of up to 18 metres, leaving terrain and structure-related coverage shadows. The challenge proposes carrying FWS antennas or gNodeB components on a tethered drone at about 100 metres to extend coverage without degrading throughput at the cell edge.
