ABSTRACT
The performance of wireless networking approaches degrades under user's mobility. To objectively and reliably establish their performance under mobility, one has to guarantee highly repeatable experimentation with minimized external influences, which is currently a burdensome manual process for 3-dimensional (3D) environments. To address this issue, we propose a drone-based testbed for automated, autonomous, and repeatable experimentation with mobile wireless infrastructures in heterogeneous 3D environments. The developed testbed can be easily deployed in various environments, allows for simple integration of a new System Under Test (SUT), and guarantees the absence of interference with the SUT.

Repeatable and realistic wireless experimentation through physical emulation
In wireless networking research, there has long existed a fundamental tension between experimental realism on one hand, and control and repeatability on the other hand. Hardware-based experimentation provides realism, but is tightly coupled to the ...

Vertical handoff is one of the most important issues for the next generation heterogeneous wireless networks. However, in many situations, unbeneficial vertical handoffs occur across intersystem heterogeneous networks cause network performance ...
