This chapter analyses the suitability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) communications for providing reliable communications using the fifth generation (5G) cellular networks new radio (NR) interface. The air-to-ground channel model on a rural scenario is considered using MIMO 2 × 8 and the maximum transmission power specified for a 5G terminal. The capacity, coverage range and UAV positioning that allow providing reliable communications with a guaranteed block error rate below 1% and a 99% guaranteed throughput are calculated and are compared to the scenario where reliability is not required. It is shown that the coverage and UAV possible horizontal distances and heights are reduced because a minimum SNR is required for reliable operation, compared to a pure throughput maximization approach. It is also shown a significant influence of the UAV height on the service provided and that increasing the throughput using more channel bandwidth reduces the coverage range.
