2014 ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Airborne Networks and Communications

Workshop on Airborne Networks and Communications

August 11, 2014

The ability of air vehicles to communicate voice, video, and data offers enhanced safety and efficiency for Next Generation airborne networks. The proposed integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into National Airspace is expected to result in emerging applications of airborne networks for civilian applications such as air-traffic control, search and rescue missions, and disaster preparedness and recovery operations. Emerging applications such as aerial base stations for enhanced cellular coverage are being evolved. However, before such applications can be deployed, there are numerous challenges that we, as a community, need to address. This workshop is an opportunity for researchers engaged in airborne networking to discuss state-of-the-art, share their research with their peers, and develop directions for future research in this emerging field.
