Channel measurements over 802.11a-based UAV-to-ground links
Abstract
We analyze unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-to-ground links for an 802.11a-based small quadrotor UAV network with two on-board antennas via a set of field experiments. The paper presents our first results toward modeling the uplink and downlink channel and provide the path loss exponents for an open field and a campus scenario. We illustrate the impact of antenna orientation on the received signal strength and UDP throughput performance for different heights, yaws, and distances. When both antennas are horizontal (parallel to the flight direction plane), yaw differences can be handled, whereas a vertical antenna can assist against signal loss due to tilting of the UAV during acceleration/deceleration. Further work is required to analyze fading as well as UAV-UAV links in a multi-UAV network.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
