UAV 통신환경에 적합한 TDMA 프로토콜에 관한 연구

Abstract

UAV has been used recently a lot in military applications. In general, UAVs have the potential to create an ad-hoc network and greatly reduce the hops from source to destination. However, the type of the mission and the capability of the UAVs which are determined by its link resources causes a lot of networking issues. In this paper, we considered adaptive medium access control to adapt the UAV communication networks. We introduced TDMA protocol for UAV communication networks and analyzed using optimized network engineering tool (OPNET).
