The real-time realization and quick installation of UAV networks make it extremely suitable for emergency services. Due to limited energy and processing memory, vSDN-enabled UAV networks are brought into the picture where the central SDN controller is used to manage the Data Plane UAV activities. The placement of the controller is a critical issue due to random mobility and distant coverage. In this work, we have proposed a controller implantation technique for low latency communication and service delivery. A two-tier hierarchical data plane (D-plane) segmentation has been introduced to place the UAV entities at D-plane. Our algorithmic approach shows that the centralization of SDN controller causes comparatively low latency with respect to other potential regions. We have relaxed the traffic overheads considering minimal data exchange between D-plane and C-plane. The latency trade-off significantly helps to identify the most suitable positions to deploy the Controller units. This work also contributes towards the CPP-UAV (Controller Placement Problem in UAV-networks).","PeriodicalId":261033,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Drone Assisted Wireless Communications for 5G and Beyond","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129323027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the evolution of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication is becoming more prominent for safety and non-safety related applications. The V2V communication facilitates vehicles to interconnect with each other to support numerous applications that will be highly helpful for drivers and passenger's welfare. However, due to the extreme dynamic nature of transportation, the Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) faces many challenges for transferring information among vehicles. Therefore, efficient clustering and dynamic routing are becoming a supreme area of improvement to increase the Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and reduce the End-to-End delay for data transfer. In order to overcome the major obstacle, in this paper, we propose an intelligent self-learning approach-based hybrid clustering by integrating Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and dynamic Dijkstra routing for packet transfer between vehicles. Also, experiments were carried out to support the data transfer with the help of drones to provide higher coverage in high dynamic vehicle mobility scenarios. The proposed algorithm is modeled, trained, and tested for performance evaluations metrics such as Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), End to End delay, CH selection delay.","PeriodicalId":261033,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Drone Assisted Wireless Communications for 5G and Beyond","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134531095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The centralized authentication approaches not only suffer from a single point of failure, but they are also incapable of cross-domain authentication, which complicates the cooperation of drones from different domains. To address these challenges, we propose a blockchain-based solution to achieve cross-domain authentication for 5G-enabled UAVs. Our approach employs multiple signatures based on threshold sharing to build an identity federation for collaborative domains. Reliable communication between cross-domain devices is achieved by utilizing smart contract for authentication. Our performance evaluations show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":261033,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Drone Assisted Wireless Communications for 5G and Beyond","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126729889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we investigate the system optimization algorithms for the heterogeneous aerial networks. Specifically, we propose a cooperative heterogeneous aerial network, where several low-altitude aerial base stations (LABSs) with high frequency are dynamically deployed to enhance the coverage of a high-altitude aerial base station (HABS) with low frequency. For this network, we formulate a joint position optimization, channel allocation, and power allocation problem with the objective to maximize the total data rate of all users under the constraint of the minimum rate requirement of each user. To tackle this hard problem, we first adopt the particle-and-fish swarm algorithm to optimize the positions of the LABSs. Then, the channel-and-power allocation algorithms are designed based on the matching theory and the Lagrangian dual decomposition technique. Simulation results indicate that our proposed algorithms can greatly improve the network performance.","PeriodicalId":261033,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Drone Assisted Wireless Communications for 5G and Beyond","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128765330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because such transmitters use directional beamforming to increase capacity, UAV deployments require careful selection of the beamwidth. Even under regular hovering conditions, UAVs display minor relative rotations and displacements caused by GPS inaccuracies and environmental factors like wind. To ensure narrow beams are perfectly aligned in such practical conditions, we propose a beamforming framework that (i) fuses out-of-band information obtained from cameras and (ii) leverages antenna beam-patterns characterized online during flight. These inputs provide the UAV pair forming the link with an improved estimate of relative orientation, and furthermore, guide controlled and coordinated movements to ensure the mmWave beams remain aligned. We implement this joint robotics-communication framework within the robot operating system and evaluate the performance for emulated DJI M100 UAVs. Our results reveal 33% improvement in physical bitrate and 60.4% reduction in latency when compared to RF-only beam sweeping methods.","PeriodicalId":261033,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Drone Assisted Wireless Communications for 5G and Beyond","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125201998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The semantic segmentation of the captured images is done using deep learning algorithms. To identify the most suitable, cost-efficient, and accurate segmentation method, various state-of-the-art models, are appraised and compared based on different evaluation metrics. Resnet50 model with U-net segmentation model performs the best out of all used models by providing 91.51% pixel accuracy.
