Scenario identification plays an important role in assisting unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cognitive communications. Based on the scenario-dependent channel characteristics, a support vector machine (SVM)-based air-to-ground (A2G) scenario identification model is proposed. In the proposed model, the height of the UAV is also used as a feature to improve the identification accuracy. On the basis, an improved scenario identification method is developed including dataset acquisition, identification model training, and height-integrated model feedback. The shooting and bouncing ray/image (SBR/IM) method is used to obtain the datasets of channel characteristics, i.e., root-mean-square delay spread (RMS-DS), K factor, and angle spread (AS) under five typical scenarios: over-sea, suburban, urban, dense urban and high-rise urban. SBR/IM is a symmetry-based ray tracing (RT) simulation method. After the identification model is trained, a height-integrated feedback scheme is used to increase the identification performance. The simulation results show that the identification accuracy of improved method is about 14% higher than the method without height feature, which reaches nearly 100% under the over-sea and suburban and over 80% in urban, dense urban, and high-rise urban.
