摘要：Directing the antennas of the 5th generation mobile network optimally became a hard and tedious process due to the abundance of the antennas that the 5th generation networks relay on. Also, due to the traditional way of measuring the signal strength of the 5th generation networks. The process that could take weeks of working until it is done. So, the solution is to make an automated process to measure signal strength and to direct antennas using "Drones" rather than human power. This way will ease the process of directing antennas in a quite shorter amount of time which will be some hours instead of weeks. Plus the low cost and the high accuracy achieved. So, a cooperative network between "Drones" and a new communication protocol to support that network will be designed. "Drones" will communicate with each others and with antennas through exchanging messages by "MQTT cloud" using New designed communication protocol. "Raspberry pi" platform will be used as a server to control the direction of antennas. "Drones" will carry a "4G mobile" and a "Raspberry pi" with an "Building Identification System (BIS)" setuped on it. The "(BIS)" gives every building a number and will recognize the entrance of buildings to measure signal strength at every floor. Then, performance analysis metrics (Throughput) will be measured. OMNeT "will be used for simulation, and "Raspberry Pi" platform will be used to implement the system and measure the performance of the new Communication Protocol.
