Abstract

The vigorous development of 5G makes human life more convenient and color-ful, but it also makes data transmission grow exponentially. Relevant research reports predict that mobile data traffic will reach by 2022 57eb/D, in addition to the requirements of the rising Internet of things related industries for ultra-high rate wireless data transmission and ultra-low delay, such as automatic driving, telemedicine, etc., the 5G related technologies currently widely developed can no longer meet the requirements of emerging services for existing communication performance. With the rapid development of wireless communication and un-manned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, building a large-scale “unmanned aerial vehicle cloud” covering and connecting various wireless terminals in a vast area by taking advantage of the mobility, stability and wide coverage of UAV has become an important development direction of the future 6G wireless communication network. In recent years, with the development of scientific and techno-logical progress in China, UAVs have developed rapidly in the commercial and personal fields. The development of 6G network technology undoubtedly pro-vides new opportunities for the development of UAV industry. Firstly, this paper discusses and analyzes the application scenarios of UAV in 6G mobile communication; Then, the potential key technologies and challenges of UAV assisted 6G mobile communication are explored.
