Abstract: The rapid growth of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in applications such as surveillance, delivery, public safety, and remote sensing demands highly reliable, low-latency wireless communication. Fifth-generation (5G) New Radio (NR) technology, with its support for Massive MIMO, millimeter-wave bands, and intelligent beamforming, offers a promising framework for enabling robust, high-throughput aerial connectivity. 5G Toolbox. The study includes modeling UAV mobility profiles, implementing an A2G channel model with Doppler effects, and designing an adaptive beamforming strategy to track the UAV in real time. Key performance metrics such as Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Bit Error Rate (BER), and throughput are evaluated under varying mobility and altitude conditions. The results demonstrate how beamforming significantly improves link stability and signal strength in high-mobility UAV communication scenarios.
