The project titled "Measurement-Based Approaches for Airborne Communication: AI-Assisted Millimeter-Wave Channel Modeling," prepared under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Emre Aktaş and with contributions from researcher Dr. Gürhan Bulu, has been awarded funding within the scope of the 2025 Research Universities Support Program (ADEP).
This project, supported under ADEP—which is implemented by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) to promote university research in priority areas - aims to develop realistic communication channel models for next-generation aerial vehicles operating in the 60 GHz band.
The project plans to derive channel models suitable for air-to-air communication, especially in challenging terrain conditions, using both theoretical and experimental methods. Ray-tracing-based simulations will be combined with measurements conducted using UAVs. The collected data will be processed using deep learning-based algorithms to develop AI-assisted channel models that can be generalized according to environmental conditions.
These models are expected to provide a reliable and high-speed communication infrastructure for next-generation UAVs, armed drones, and autonomous aerial systems, with potential contributions in areas such as defense, disaster management, and logistics.
We congratulate our researchers and wish them continued success in their work.
