Autonomous UAV swarms require efficient and stable communication during deployment for a successful mission execution. For instance, the periodic exchange of telemetry data between all swarm members provides the foundation for formation flight and collision avoidance. However, due to the mobility of the vehicles and instability of wireless transmissions, maintaining a secure and reliable all-to-all communication remains challenging. This paper investigates encrypted and authenticated multi-hop broadcast communication based on the transmission of custom IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi data frames.}, language = {en} } @misc{NattkeRottaNatarovetal., author = {Nattke, Matthias and Rotta, Randolf and Natarov, Roman and Archila, Oscar and Mykytyn, Pavlo}, title = {Precise sensors for localization in the drone swarm}, series = {Proceedings iCCC2024 - iCampµs Cottbus Conference, 2024-05-14 - 2024-05-16, Cottbus}, volume = {2024}, journal = {Proceedings iCCC2024 - iCampµs Cottbus Conference, 2024-05-14 - 2024-05-16, Cottbus}, publisher = {AMA}, isbn = {978-3-910600-00-3}, doi = {10.5162/iCCC2024/P16}, pages = {166 -- 169}, abstract = {Drones can be connected as a swarm to precisely monitor large agricultural areas and manage them more sustainable.

While existing research focused mainly on predefined flight formations for swarms or autonomous missions for single UAVs, the focus of this work is on multiple UAVs with individually adaptable missions. We derive communication system requirements from swarm coordination algorithms and present a respective design.

Their field of application is vast, including smart home applications, Internet of Things (IoT), and short-range high throughput static and dynamic inter-vehicular communication networks. In this work, we conduct an experimental study on the feasibility of jamming attack detection in static and dynamic vehicular networks by using real-time Channel State Information (CSI) analysis of the communication channel. To set up a communication network between an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and a Ground Control Station (GCS), we utilize the ESP32-S3 modules from Espressif Systems. The configured link is then subjected to experimental testing of the constant jammer impact on the CSI parameters, including individual subcarrier amplitude attenuation, phase shift, temporal variation (jitter) and Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) in static and dynamic conditions. Our study experimentally confirms the feasibility of jamming attack detection through CSI analysis in both static and dynamic communication scenarios.}, language = {en} }
