Answer:

UAV Networks

ENABLING NETWORKING IN THE SKIES

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones (as they are commonly reffered to) are complex aerial wireless sensing and actuation platforms. The use of UAVs, especially quadrotors, has permeated to all aspects of human life. UAVs may effectively be used as a spatial tool in examining urban areas, including buildings, infrastructure, ecosystem features and processes, natural areas, and environmental health. Challenges, such as -- bad weather conditions, limited or absence of network connectivity, limited visual range, spread of the search zone, absence of GPS signal and other similar problems, are complex and detrimental to the use of UAVs, especially UAV swarms, in search and tracking tasks. Intelligent and dynamic automation of UAVs over networks allows for robust coordination among UAVs in a UAV network and enables solutions such as flying to specific search zones or locations, autonomously choosing appropriate UAV combinations to sense and track provided mission objectives (objectives may be tracking a plume of smoke, tracking radioactive leaks, tracking humans, and others). Intelligent automation in UAVs enables for a highly coordinated network of UAVs or UAV swarms, which can enable schemes for compensating against environmental effects to optimize tracking and minimizing the time and energy required to complete a mission. The minimization of time and energy can be addressed through optimizing the processing and analysis of data gathered from the individual drones/UAVs. The processing may be performed collaboratively within the swarm, or offloaded to a remote server. Since, there is a severe bandwidth restriction in aerial scenarios, especially if the UAV network is decentralized with no dependencies to ground-based infrastructure, there is a need for strategies to enable complex control of UAVs over networks, reducing UAV data load on the networks, deciding when and how to offload, selecting appropriate offload loactions, and many others.

In our works, we take various approaches to address the following:

A futuristic replacement for UAV Networks

Optimizing Network and UAV parameters through the use of AI/ML

Optimizing Offloading in UAV Networks

Answer 2

Answer:

Not self-configuring

Explanation:

• No, a UAV network built on a star topology is not self-configuring.
• The topology of stars does not self-configure. It can't configure itself. Nodes or devices cannot move unrestrictedly. The gadgets can move independently and freely in ad hoc mode.
• Star topology refers to a network topology in which each network element is physically connected to a central node, such as a router, hub, or switch.
• A central hub serves as the server and the connected nodes serve as the clients in a star topology. A central node can forward packets to other nodes in the network when it receives them from connecting nodes. A star network is another name for a star topology.
