Fight against Future Pandemics: UAV-Based Data-Centric Social Distancing, Sanitizing, and Monitoring Scheme

The novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has transformed into a global health concern, which resulted in human containment and isolation to flatten the curve of mortality rates infected patients. To leverage massive strategy, fifth-generation (5G)-envisioned unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used minimize intervention with key benefits ultra-low latency, high bandwidth, reliability. This allows phased treatment patients via threefold functionalities (3FFs) such as social distancing, proper sanitization, inspection monitoring. However, UAVs have send recorded data back ground stations (GS), requires real-time device connection density 107/km2, forms huge bottlenecks on 5G ecosystems. A sixth-generation (6G) ecosystem can provide terahertz (THz) frequency bands short beamforming cells, intelligent deep connectivity, physical- link-level protocol virtualization. form swarm network assure 3FFs high-end computations data-intensive; thus, these computational tasks be offloaded nearby edge servers, employ local federated learning train models. It synchronizes UAV task formations optimizes functions. Task optimization swarms 6G-assisted channels better management ubiquitous energy-efficient seamless communication over ground, space, underwater channels. Thus, data-centric 3FF approach is essential fight against future pandemics, 6G backdrop channel. proposed scheme compared traditional fourth-generation (4G) 5G-networks-based schemes indicate its efficiency traffic density, processing spectral efficiency, mobility, radio loss, density.
