ABSTRACT

The rapid expansion of wireless communication services and the emergence of smart applications have created a growing demand for flexible, reliable, and high-capacity communication infrastructures. Conventional terrestrial communication networks often encounter challenges in providing continuous connectivity in disaster-stricken regions, remote locations, dense urban environments, and temporary large-scale events. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have emerged as a promising solution for enhancing wireless communication networks due to their mobility, adaptability, and rapid deployment capabilities. UAV-assisted communication networks can function as aerial base stations, relays, data collectors, and mobile edge computing platforms, significantly improving network coverage, capacity, and service quality. This paper presents a comprehensive study of UAV-assisted communication systems and proposes an Artificial Intelligence-Enabled UAV Communication Framework (AI-UCF) designed to optimize aerial communication performance. The proposed framework integrates machine learning-based trajectory optimization, adaptive resource allocation, intelligent routing, and energy-efficient communication management. Simulation analysis demonstrates substantial improvements in coverage probability, throughput, latency, and energy efficiency compared with traditional communication architectures. The findings indicate that UAV-assisted communication networks will become a critical component of future 6G wireless infrastructures and intelligent networking ecosystems.
