The system supports a heterogeneous set of UAVs and camera sensors. If necessary, an operator can interfere and reduce the autonomy. The system has been tested in an outdoor mission serving as a proof of concept.

To this end, we extract key functionalities expected in an MAV network. We map these functionalities into building blocks to characterize the expected communication needs. Based on insights from our own and related real-world experiments, we discuss the capabilities of existing communications technologies and their limitations to implement the proposed building blocks. Our findings indicate that while certain requirements of MAV applications are met with available technologies, further research and development is needed to address the scalability, heterogeneity, safety, quality of service, and security aspects of multi-MAV systems.}, address = {IEEE Communications Society}, language = {EN}, publisher = {IEEE} } @InProceedings{Yanmaz2011a, author = {Yanmaz, Evsen and Kuschnig, Robert and Bettstetter, Christian}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the GlobeCom 2010 (Wi-UAV Workshop)}, title = {Channel Measurements Over 802.11a-Based UAV-to-Ground Links}, year = {2011}, address = {Piscataway, NJ, USA}, editor = {How, Jonathan and Wietfeld, Christian}, month = {dec}, pages = {5}, publisher = {IEEE}, abstract = {The distribution of audio-visual content over the Internet has become very popular in recent years.
