低成本和高性能的商用现成(COTS)无线设备，如IEEE 802.11无线局域网(Wi-Fi)，已经如此先进，现在将其用于小型低空无人机(UAV)是可行的。这一新能力激发了无人机联网中许多新颖的应用想法。我们认为，无人机组网的野外实验对于收集链路测量数据、开发网络协议和应用程序以及评估其在现实环境中的性能至关重要，并且使用基于COTS的设备进行这些实验是可行的。我们描述了几个正在进行的现场实验和初步结果。最后，我们简要描述了未来的测试计划，并提出了促进快速和廉价的无人机组网现场试验的方法
Low-cost and high-performance commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) wireless equipment, such as IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN ("Wi-Fi"), has so advanced that it is now practical to use it in small low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This new capability has inspired many novel application ideas in UAV networking. We argue that field experimentation of UAV networking is essential in collecting link measurement data, developing network protocols and applications, and evaluating their performance in realistic environments, and that it is feasible to conduct these experiments cost-effectively with COTS-based equipment. We describe several ongoing field experiments and initial results. Lastly, we briefly describe future testing plans as well as suggest methods of facilitating rapid and inexpensive UAV networking field experimentation
