A Low-Latency Reliable Transport Solution for Network-Connected UAV

Existing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) mainly rely on the direct ground-to-UAV communications over the unlicensed spectrum, which can only operate within the visual line of sight. Integrating UAVs into cellular networks is a promising solution to extend the range but poses new challenges to the transport protocols. To ensure the flight safety, the transmission of UAV commands and mission-related data is required to be reliable with low...
