Our paper entitled “Live multicast video streaming from drones: an experimental study” is accepted for publication in Autonomous Robots.
In this paper, we present and evaluate a multicast framework for point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-point-to-multipoint video streaming. We evaluate the proposed application-layer rate-adaptive multicast video streaming over an aerial ad-hoc network that uses IEEE 802.11 in terms of goodput, delay, and packet loss.
Mr. Emini (T-Mobile Austria), Dr. Jeroen Wigard (Nokia Bell Labs), Dr. Challita (Ericsson) and myelf were panelists in IEEE WCNC 2019. The panel entitled ” Drone Networking: Technical Challenges and Business Opportunities” was organized by Dr. Fakhreddine and Dr. Bettstetter. We had a fruitful discussion on many topics including technical challenges inherent to the use of cellular-connected UAVs, regulatory aspects and security challenges in UAV networking, 5G and UAV networking, and the expected status of UAV networking for the next 5/10 years.
