Experimental Study on LTE Mobile Network Performance Parameters for Controlled Drone Flights.

This paper analyzes the quantitative quality parameters of a mobile communication network in a controlled drone logistic use-case scenario. Based on the analysis of standards and recommendations, the values of key performance indicators (KPIs) are set. As the main network-impacting parameters, reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) were selected.
