This manuscript [1], Open RAN Testbeds with Controlled Air Mobility, explores Open RAN testbeds with controlled air mobility. The authors examine several use cases, including UAVs as User Equipment (UEs), UAVs functioning as O-RUs, O-DUs, and O-CUs, the integration of UAV swarms in O-RAN, flying wireless backhaul within O-RAN, and device-to-device (D2D) communications supported by UAV-assisted O-RAN.
