Abstract(in English) Recently, the wireless transmission of ultra-high-resolution data from drones has attracted great attention, because of its widespread applications such as infrastructure inspections, disaster monitoring, searching for missing people, and etc. The radio resources approved by regulations and laws is also increasing, e.g., in Japan, and the new opportunities also bring the new requirements on the system. In order to further extend drone-based applications and improve the efficiency, it is expected to introduce multiple drones to provide the datas with larger coverage and higher resolution. However, when multiple drones are simultaneously working, the conventional multiplexing communication system for drones suffers the limited coverage and the large co-channel interference, which would severely decrease the throughput of data transmission and destabilize the remote control of drones. To address the above-mentioned problems and meet the requirements from new regulations, in this paper, we propose a new design of a multi-drone full-duplex system for joint high-specification data, i.e., 4K data, transmission and stable flight control. The higher spectrum efficiency and lower complexity of transmitters on the drone are achieved, and the co-channel interference is significantly avoided. The channel allocation algorithm for the multiple drones, which is equated to a trajectory and placement planning problem for the multiple drones assigned with pre-fixed channels, is also proposed. The simulations are also conducted to validate the new system design.
