Abstract

There is a growing interest in reusing cellular base stations on the ground to provide long range, high-speed wireless connectivity to UAVs. Towards this goal, we present SkyRoute - a novel and powerful simulation platform for rapid and realistic assessment of UAV cellular connectivity. SkyRoute combines real base station locations and antenna data with a lightweight version of the widely-used ns-3 simulation platform for full-stack wireless channel and cellular network simulation. As an exemplary application, we demonstrate realistic coverage and cell selection prediction in a large metropolitan area.
