Abstract
The development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) along with the ubiquity of Internet of Things (IoT) enables the creation of systems that, leveraging 5G enhancements, can provide real-time multimedia communications and data streaming. However, the usage of the UAVs introduces new constraints, such as unstable network communications and security pitfalls. In this work, the experience of implementing a system architecture for data and multimedia transmission using a multi-UAV system is presented. The system aims at creating an IoT ecosystem to bridge UAVs and other types of devices, such as smartphones and sensors, while coping with the fallback in an unstable communication environment. Furthermore, this work proposes a detailed description of a system architecture designed for remote drone fleet control. The proposed system provides an efficient, reliable and secure system for multi-UAV remote control that will offer the on-demand usage of available sensors, smartphones and unmanned vehicle infrastructure.
Highlights
Many efforts are being made to recognize and forecast the occurrence of a natural disaster, to react in an efficient manner to the disaster when they occur, and to quickly and efficiently assess the damage, fix and restore normal state [1,2,3,4].Large-scale natural disasters test the most fundamental human instinct of survival by inflicting massive, and often unpredictable, loss to life and property
Acknowledging the need for bolstering disaster resilience, this paper contributes a vision of leveraging the latest advances in wireless sensor network (WSN) technology, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and mobile crowdsensing to enhance the ability of network-assisted disaster prediction, assessment and response
This work describes the communication architecture for a system of systems (SoS) composed of UAV, smartphones, and sensors to transmit telemetry and data streaming, which we proposed in the framework of the project IMATISSE (Inundation Monitoring and Alarm Technology In a System of SystEms)
Summary
Many efforts are being made to recognize and forecast the occurrence of a natural disaster, to react in an efficient manner to the disaster when they occur, and to quickly and efficiently assess the damage, fix and restore normal state [1,2,3,4]. The novelty of our work in respect to the existing literature is that we provide a novel architecture, composed of three main elements: sensors, UAVs and crowdsensing devices. [11], where the authors proposes using UAVs to establish a link with the device of a missing person, after a disaster event happened In this case, the authors provided some significant insights into the communication technologies and realized a demo to show the correct functioning of their architecture. This work describes the communication architecture for a system of systems (SoS) composed of UAV, smartphones, and sensors to transmit telemetry and data streaming, which we proposed in the framework of the project IMATISSE (Inundation Monitoring and Alarm Technology In a System of SystEms).
