Swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have many applications including search and rescue, disaster response, surveillance, infrastructure inspection, among many others. A key aspect of UAV swarms is keeping the UAVs connected through wireless ...

UAVs can be directed to perform multiple tasks efficiently without human intervention. This is especially useful in tasks that require group coordination since UAVs can exchange information and alter their trajectories based on dynamic data. Thus, ...

With the proliferation of affordable VTOL drones, application domain of aerial swarms expands everyday, spanning from public drone art to offensive military operations. Orchestrating these systems towards a successful mission, especially in contested ...

For reliable and robust communication in drone networks, accurate and realistic channel models are indispensable. We herein propose a probabilistic two-ray (PTR) path loss model for drone-based air-to-air (AA) propagation channels, facing built-up urban ...

Strategic and profile-based communication in wireless adhoc networks is complex since it is important to distinguish between different traffic types and their routes to ensure the required performance over a dynamic network. In order to face this ...

Aerial networking has been the subject of growing research with the rising possibility of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones being used in a broad variety of contexts and a broad range of environments. One of the important problems has been perceived as ...

AERPAW (Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced Wireless) is an advanced wireless research platform centered around fully programmable radios and fully programmable vehicles. In this paper we detail the vehicle aspects of the testbed, ...
