Beyond Visual Line of Sight operation enables drones to surpass the limits imposed by the reach and constraints of their operator's eyes. It extends their range and, as such, productivity, and profitability. Drones operating BVLOS include a…
Drones (or unmanned aerial vehicles [UAVs]) are expected to be an important component of fifth generation (5G)/beyond 5G (B5G) cellular architectures that can potentially facilitate wireless broadcast or point-to-multipoint transmissions.…
With the introduction of new regulations in the European Union, the future of Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) drones is set to bloom. This led to the creation of the theBEAST project, which aims to create an autonomous security drone,…
The integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into shared airspace for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations presents significant challenges but holds transformative potential for sectors like transportation, construction,…
Drone base stations (DBSs) have recently gained wide popularity as a possible solution to provide wireless connectivity in a variety of scenarios, for example, in inaccessible terrains such as connectivity over vast areas of a water body or…
This paper studies the feasibility of supporting drone operations using existent cellular infrastructure. We propose an analytical framework that includes the effects of base station (BS) height and antenna radiation pattern, drone antenna…
This paper presents a reinforcement learning (RL) based approach for path planning of cellular connected unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating beyond visual line of sight (BVLoS). The objective is to minimize travel distance while…
More and more off-the-shelf drones provide frameworks that enable the programming of flight paths. These frameworks provide vendor-dependent programming and communication interfaces that are intended for flight path definitions. However,…
Cellular networks are ubiquitous entities that provide major means of communication all over the world. One major challenge in cellular networks is a dynamic change in the number of users and their usage of telecommunication service which…
Drones are driving numerous and evolving use cases, and creating transformative socio-economic benefits. Drone operation needs wireless connectivity for communication between drones and ground control systems, among drones, and between…
Multi-robot systems rely on underlying connectivity to ensure reliable communication and timely coordination. This paper studies the line-of-sight (LoS) connectivity maintenance problem in multi-robot navigation with unknown obstacles.…
Unmanned aerial systems capable of beyond visual line of sight operation can be organized into a top-down hierarchy of layers including flight supervision, command and control, simulation of systems, operating systems, and physical…
Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles are traditionally used for military missions, warfare, and espionage. However, the usage of drones has significantly increased due to multiple industrial applications involving security and inspection,…
This study proposes a novel multi-objective integer programming model for a collision-free discrete drone path planning problem. Considering the possibility of bypassing obstacles or flying above them, this study aims to minimize the path…
Modern wireless traffic demand pushes Internet Service Providers to develop effective strategies to improve user experience. Since deploying dense Base Stations (BSs) is not cost efficient, an alternative is to deploy autonomous drones to…
Swarms of drones are being more and more used in many practical scenarios, such as surveillance, environmental monitoring, search and rescue in hardly-accessible areas, etc.. While a single drone can be guided by a human operator, the…
This project was built from a pre-existing architecture that facilitates the planning and automatic execution of drone routes in a known space through a 3D virtual reality environment. Our work consisted in extending this architecture by…
The cellular-connected drone market is one of the most promising markets of 5G. However, it still accounts for a small share of overall telecommunication market, and it is unlikely to increase significantly for the foreseeable future.…
With technological advancement, drone has emerged as unmanned aerial vehicle that can be controlled by humans to fly or reach a destination. This may be autonomous as well, where the drone itself is intelligent enough to find a shortest…
The concept of drone corridors is recently getting more attention to enable connected, safe, and secure flight zones in the national airspace. To support beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations of aerial vehicles in a drone corridor,…
