Brief Description of Research Areas
Use Cases:
- 4G/5G SDR Experiments with autonomous vehicles
- Open RAN
- 3D spectrum measurements and dynamic spectrum sharing
- Autonomous UAV trajectory optimization
- Smart agriculture
- Wireless localization
- Flying base stations
- Advanced aerial mobility
- AI/ML enabled wireless networks
A digital twin is used to develop real-world UAV and radio software remotely in software containers. Experiments can be moved back and forward between the digital twin and the outdoor physical twin (5+ square miles of outdoor flying field with 5 AERPAW towers) for iterative development and testing.
AERPAW also hosts the North American OTIC in the Raleigh-Durham Research Triangle Park Area. Testing, certification, and badging services are summarized at: https://www.o-ran.org/otics/north-american-otic-in-the-raleigh-durham-research-triangle-park-area-aerpaw
