Datasets, Drone Competition, and Community Workshop updates.
The AERPAW team held a virtual tour of the AERPAW testbed to the City of Greensboro's WISE program. The team has been working on testing its new RF front ends to have good wireless coverage nearby its towers in Lake Wheeler.
The vehicle team has been looking into improvements for our drones. In particular, we are looking at where our drones are too strong, meaning, where we can throw away some material without compromising the integrity of our drone.
AERPAW team submitted multiple papers over the past 1-2 months related to ongoing experiments on the platform and development activities.
This month AERPAW tests two new small portable nodes and had a flight demonstration for NC State students.
AERPAW team has submitted a paper to IEEE Aerospace Conference that highlights various different ways of how raw 4G LTE I/Q measurements from AERPAW can be used for air-to-ground channel characterization.
