Place, Slice and Schedule: Hierarchical O-RAN Control of a Tethered mmWave UAV-gNB

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 24, 2026 · UTC

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-mounted 5G New Radio base stations (gNBs) can augment terrestrial networks with an on-demand, repositionable Frequency Range 2 (FR2) capacity layer. This flexibility, however, couples the physical network topology with radio-resource management: UAV movement reshapes blockage, channel quality, and the set of effectively served users, while traffic demand, queues, and service requirements evolve at a much faster timescale. Existing Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN)-enabled UAV studies optimize trajectory, deployment, association, or resource allocation, but typical
