What is AI-powered drone mobility support?

Drone connectivity in the sky is an indispensable part of the Internet of Things (IoT): Anywhere, Anytime, Anything. In a recent summer internship project at Ericsson, we explored how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can empower drone mobility support in 5G networks. Our work received the Best Paper Award at the 2020 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC 2020). The award is a recognition of the Ericsson internship program, which offers candidates a chance to learn about the world of work while working on projects that are changing the world of communications. Drones have many applications, ranging from package delivery and surveillance to remote sensing and IoT scenarios.
