Abstract

The paper describes the testbed that allows for evaluation of the effectiveness of the new encoding algorithms in Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs), including the method of network coding. The testbed consists of a ground station (laptop), the flying robot (unmanned aerial camera, UAV) and several microcomputers Raspberry Pi 3. Using the testbed the communication range between the ground station and the flying robot was estimated, also the approach to the efficiency analysis of algorithm network coding in ad-hoc network on the basis of the Raspberry Pi 3 was proposed. Two scenarios were investigated. In the first scenario, a flying robot sent video from an on board camera to a ground station. After gathering all the data the quality of service (QoS) was analyzed and the Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) was calculated using the program Wireshark network traffic analyzer. According to the results of the measurements the maximum communication range between the ground station and the flying robot with the standard 802.11 n (Wi-Fi) were found. In the second scenario a self-organizing network of three microcomputers Raspberry Pi 3 was created. To route data the B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol was used on the basis of which one implementation of the method of network coding can be analyzed.
