What Is the Cost of a Handover Interruption? Rethinking 5G Mobility for Aerial Vehicles
André Melo, Yueqi Chen, Igor Kadota +1
Low-altitude aviation is moving toward large-scale operations increasingly dependent on 5G cellular connectivity. However, 5G mobility remains blind to the operational risk of its…
Who Can Safely Wait? Risk-Aware 5G Scheduling for Low-Altitude UAV Operation
André Melo, Yueqi Chen, Lourenço Pereira +1
Cellular-connected UAV operations already fly in many countries. However, cellular networks were designed for terrestrial users and remain blind to the operational consequences of…
FlyBlind: Cross-Slice Timeliness Attacks on UAV Situational Awareness over 5G
Wagner Comin Sonaglio, Ágney Lopes Roth Ferraz, Sidnei Barbieri +3
Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) operating over 5G Standalone (SA) networks use a shared User Plane for both command-and-control (C2) data and vide…
When Connectivity Is Not Enough: Cross-Layer Attacks on UAV C2 over 5G
Wagner Comin Sonaglio, Ágney Lopes Roth Ferraz, André Elias Melo +3
Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations increasingly use 5G standalone (SA) networks for command and control (C2) between the UAV and the groun…
Permissioned Blockchain in Advanced Air Mobility: A Performance Analysis for UTM
Rodrigo Nunes, André Melo, Rafael Albarello +3
The integration of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into low-altitude airspace has led authorities to adopt distributed Uncrewed Traffic Management (UTM) architectures that ensure i…
