A Fast Gateway Placement Algorithm for Flying Networks
Gonçalo Santos, João Martins, André Coelho +3
The ability to operate anywhere, anytime, as well as their capability to hover and carry cargo on board make Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) suitable platforms to act as Flying Gat…
On the Reproduction of Real Wireless Channel Occupancy in ns-3
Renato Cruz, Helder Fontes, José Ruela +2
In wireless networking R&D we typically depend on simulation and experimentation to evaluate and validate new networking solutions. While simulations allow full control over the sc…
A Routing Metric for Inter-flow Interference-aware Flying Multi-hop Networks
André Coelho, Eduardo Nuno Almeida, José Ruela +2
The growing demand for broadband communications anytime, anywhere has paved the way to the usage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for providing Internet access in areas without n…
Traffic-aware Gateway Placement for High-capacity Flying Networks
André Coelho, Helder Fontes, Rui Campos +1
The ability to operate virtually anywhere and carry payload makes Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) perfect platforms to carry communications nodes, including Wi-Fi Access Points (AP…
Repeatable and Reproducible Wireless Networking Experimentation through Trace-based Simulation
Vitor Lamela, Helder Fontes, Tiago Oliveira +3
To properly validate wireless networking solutions we depend on experimentation. Simulation very often produces less accurate results due to the use of models that are simplificati…
