Atoll prediction - at heights of drone flights

[punto]

Hi,

are there some studies available of Atoll (or other tools) predictions for the drone flight heights (~ 300m above sea level) ?

This is quite interesting what comes out as result.

If someone already was member of a team working on this tasks, please, share what are main troubles,
aside to interference, ANR algorithm tuning. Anyone has some comment or recommendation for the antenna type choice to cover pedestrians/vehicles/drones with similar efficiency at the same time?

Any experiences with such a task, please share some thoughts or E///, Huawei, Noki,a, operators best experiences ?

BRs, P

Anyone did some 4G coverage predictions @UE height=120m or @UE height=300m for drones , instead @UE height= 1.5m, like for usual terrestrial predictions ?

An unusual post. Atoll is a radio network planning tool. Forecast of radio network coverage for the end user with the terminal.
The user personally or using a vehicle with a terminal moves on the ground surface, in buildings and partially on the water surface.
Do you understand the difference?

Wenzel,
you have my full respect to your knowledge and thoughts, I agree, this is totally unusual post and topic, but eventually all big vendors (E///, Nokia, Huawei ... ) are preparing for the future slice of communications.
Do not want to argue current usage of radio planning tools, targeting the coverage map predictions for mobile stations mostly with typical height@ 1.5m, static or moving (regardless the clutter) , but our mobile networks in near future
are going to have a new layer of demanding "users", flying above our heads in few years from now, say more busy at start of 2030.
In Atoll we can see 2D antenna patterns, as well as 3D antenna patterns with Add-in 3DAntennaViewer, and there is also MultiStoreyPrediction Add-in that enables you to calculate coverage predictions at different receiver heights.
The add-in MultiStoreyPrediction calculates path loss matrices at different receiver heights and uses these path loss matrices to calculate a coverage prediction per receiver height. This is used for making predictions of signal, for UEs
in high buildings. Have not tested them, but know they exist..
There are many topics to address with providing proper signal to this future new layer, for example in European U-space. For sure there will be high demand for better mechanisms of interference fighting, SON and ANR algorithms tuning...
This is why I ask if anyone already touched the topic, as big companies are being quite busy with the plans about it.
I am sorry not being fully clear and not had intention to mislead any of forum colleagues.
Has any forum colleague did similar exercise in South Korea/China/US/Australia, elsewhere ... ?
