Accelerating development in UAV network digital twins with a flexible simulation framework

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) enhance coverage and provide flexible deployment in 5G and next-generation wireless networks. The performance of such wireless networks can be improved by developing new navigation and wireless adaptation approaches in digital twins (DTs). However, challenges such as complex propagation conditions and hardware complexities in real-world scenarios introduce a realism gap with the DTs. Moreover, while using real-time full-stack protocols in DTs enables subsequent deployment and testing in a real-world environment, development in DTs requires high computational complexity and involves a long development time. In this paper, we develop a measurement-calibrated Matlab-based simulation framework to accelerate the development cycle to replicate performance in a full-stack UAV wireless network DT. In particular, we use the DT from the NSF AERPAW platform and compare its reports with those generated by our developed simulation framework in wireless networks w..., , # UAV Trajectory, RSRP, and Throughput Datasets (AERPAW Lake Wheeler)

We have submitted our emulated and simulated UAV trajectory measurement data, post-processing scripts (MATLAB and Python), and high-quality static figures in PDF format. These data support wireless link analysis and UAV mobility modeling. In this dataset, \"trajectory\" refers to the latitude, longitude, and altitude of the UAV recorded over time.
