ABSTRACT
Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have been used mainly in military applications for many years. However, there has been a recent increase in the use of UAVs in nonmilitary fields, which is inspired by the 5G revolution. Such fields include precision agriculture, security and surveillance, delivery of goods, and provisioned services [1]. For example, Amazon and Walmart have been working on a new system to deliver goods to customers over them air. Additionally, China's largest mailing company, DHL, has started delivering around 500 parcels daily using UAVs. Moreover, we can use some 5G-supported UAVs to monitor and send feedback from incidents that happen along the road, hence eliminating road support teams. Moreover, a traffic policeman can be replaced or assisted by a UAV by hovering over fast-moving vehicles and reporting back traffic violations. Consequently, the use of UAVs for industry-oriented services may become a reality very soon, especially after the revolution of communication systems toward realizing the 5G-inspired Internet of things (5G/IoT) paradigm. A key field of interest for the IoT and sensor networks is the development of wearables that can connect to these UAVs for various application areas. Having an infrastructure such as 5G that is developed with consideration of IoT applications in details causes a significant need for further contributions in terms of data and especially multimedia delivery.
