蜂窝网络连接的无人机（UAV）经历与地面上的无线电节点不同的无线电传播条件。因此，从理论上和通过现场试验来研究航空无线电的性能变得至关重要。在这篇文章中，我们考虑由实验蜂窝网络服务的低空空中节点。我们提供了一个详细的硬件和软件组件的描述，需要建立一个宽带无线测试平台，无人机通信研究使用软件无线电。结果表明，无人机通信和网络创新的试验平台是可行的，具有商业现成的硬件，开源软件和低功耗信令。
Cellular network-connected unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) experience different radio propagation conditions than radio nodes on the ground. Therefore, it has become critical to investigate the performance of aerial radios, both theoretically and through field trials. In this article, we consider low-altitude aerial nodes that are served by an experimental cellular network. We provide a detailed description of the hardware and software components needed to establish a broadband wireless testbed for UAV communications research using software radios. Results show that a testbed for innovation in UAV communications and networking is feasible with commercial off-the-shelf hardware, open source software, and low-power signaling.
