Abstract
Nowadays almost everything is connected to everything, thanks to the rapid advancements in communication technology. On the one side, the industrial revolution is leading to more advancements in communication technology but at the same time, it is enormously increasing the carbon emissions. With the evolution of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), research is focussing on aerial transport systems that involve the dense deployment of both UAVs and personal aerial vehicles (PAVs) with human passengers utilising the space systems for road to net-zero carbon. In this regard, there is a need to evaluate the characteristics and performance indicators of modern communication technologies to enable researchers to work in the direction of reducing the carbon emissions. Although the major performance indicators of the fifth-generation mobile network (5G) have been enhanced to accommodate drone use cases for both high data rates and low latency applications, still, future aerial transport systems will require more stringent network key performance indicators to support the anticipated widespread deployment of aerial vehicles, taking into account factors such as network capacity and the distance between the base station and the aerial vehicles, among others. In this chapter, we lay forth our viewpoint, design principles, technical specifications, operational benchmarks, and key performance indicators for upcoming aerial wireless networks powered by 6G for urban air mobility (UAM). Furthermore, we review key-enabling technologies for communication that could be potential key players in achieving the net-zero carbon goals and discuss future challenges for incorporating aerial wireless networks in 6G. Moreover, it will also offer solutions for space systems utilised for reaching global net-zero targets.
