论文摘要
随着新用例的新用例（UAS）出现，因此需要实施并经过广泛的测试，高级无线通信技术和系统。这需要一个灵活的平台，用于开发，部署，测试和演示具有地面和空中节点的无线系统，从而实现有效的3D移动通信和网络。在本文中，我们提供了软件定义的无线电（SDR）的比较概述，并特别关注SDR硬件和软件，可用于空中无线实验和研究。我们讨论了SDR硬件要求，可用的SDR硬件的功能，可适用于小型UAS，以及使用这些SDR硬件的子集进行的功率测量。我们还提供了SDR软件要求，可用的开源SDR软件以及SDR软件的校准/基准测试。作为一个案例研究，我们提出了Aerpaw：高级无线的空中实验和研究平台，并讨论了可以使用SDR在该平台中支持的各种不同实验，以验证/测试未来的无线创新，协议和技术。
As new use cases are emerging for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), advanced wireless communications technologies and systems need to be implemented and widely tested. This requires a flexible platform for development, deployment, testing and demonstration of wireless systems with ground and aerial nodes, enabling effective 3D mobile communications and networking. In this paper, we provide a comparative overview of software-defined radios (SDRs), with a specific focus on SDR hardware and software that can be used for aerial wireless experimentation and research. We discuss SDR hardware requirements, features of available SDR hardware that can be suitable for small UAS, and power measurements carried out with a subset of these SDR hardware. We also present SDR software requirements, available open-source SDR software, and calibration/benchmarking of SDR software. As a case study, we present AERPAW: Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced Wireless, and discuss various different experiments that can be supported in that platform using SDRs, for verification/testing of future wireless innovations, protocols, and technologies.
