AB  - This study conducts a detailed analysis of communication quality and shadow regions for building a UAV aerial network based on mobile communication. RSRP, a key communication quality parameter, was measured at 40m and 80m altitudes centered on a single base station and compared with ATDI HTZ Communications simulation data. Subsequently, simulations were performed at 5m intervals from 5m to 150m altitude in the single base station environment to expand the analysis of altitude-specific RSRP and shadow regions. A similar analysis was conducted in a multi-base station environment to evaluate RSRP and shadow regions when multiple base stations are deployed. This study significantly contributes to the efficient design and optimization of UAV aerial networks and can serve as foundational data for future measurement collection and analysis in urban and suburban communication environments.
