The intersection of ground-to-air wireless communications, aerial networking, and trajectory control has become a research area of sharp interest. The validation of such research, beyond the theoretical/simulation stage, requires a facility that is both realistic, and admits of potentially risky or unsafe operation, while in the end guaranteeing personnel and equipment safety. The AERPAW project is an ambitious project, funded by the PAWR program of the US NSF, to create a remote accessible research platform for a research facility to enable such validation. To enable remote usage of such a testbed, yet provide the researcher with complete experimental freedom, the AERPAW facility includes a combination of architectural mechanisms that balance freedom of experimentation with regulatory compliance and safety. In this paper, we articulate the challenges and considerations of designing such mechanisms, and present the architectural features of AERPAW that attempt to realize these lofty goals.}, journal={2022 31ST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS (ICCCN 2022)}, author={Samal, Tripti and Dutta, Rudra and Guvenc, Ismail and Sichitiu, Mihail L. and Floyd, Brian and Zajkowski, Thomas}, year={2022} }
 @article{samal_dutta_2022, title={Communication in a Drone-Platoon using Geographic Routing}, DOI={10.1145/3539493.3539580}, abstractNote={Aerial networking has been the subject of growing research with the rising possibility of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones being used in a broad variety of contexts and a broad range of environments. One of the important problems has been perceived as that of routing for internal communication within a platoon of drones, in the face of time-varying and a large range of possible positioning of various drones within a platoon. Single-route approaches, whether proactive or reactive, are susceptible to voids, as well as dynamic topology variation. Drawing on previous work, we investigate the applicability of geodiffuse pathsets, a type of geographic routing, in the aerial context. In this paper, we first study simply extending the idea to the three-dimensional context in a straightforward way. Then, we introduce a variant that may provide a potentially better alternative to the original algorithm for a combination of fast-changing platoon topologies and bulk data transfer. Our results from this initial investigation confirm that our approach is a promising one for further study and application in drone platoon networking.}, journal={PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2022 EIGHTH WORKSHOP ON MICRO AERIAL VEHICLE NETWORKS, SYSTEMS, AND APPLICATIONS, DRONET 2022}, author={Samal, Tripti and Dutta, Rudra}, year={2022}, pages={31–36} }
