Comunicaciones habilitadas por drones: Requisitos, Tecnologías y Automatización : Implementación de Network Slicing en un ambiente Flying Ad-Hoc Network (FANET).

Abstract

The communication demands for today's world have evolved along with the development of technology, causing traditional cellular networks to undergo a change in the way they provide their resources. Currently, mobile infrastructures must change and adapt to the traffic that passes through them, and in response to this Network Slicing was born. Network Slicing is characterized by dividing the available resources in a way they can favor communication and use resources efficiently. This allows the implementation of a mobile communications infrastructure in devices such as UAVs and give a new scope to cellular communications. In this project, the implementation of a basic simulation of the main features of Network Slicing in the context of Ad-hoc aerial networks (FANET: Flying Ad-hoc Networks) was carried out.

In the first chapter, the fundamental concepts surrounding Network Slicing and its implementation within cellular and Flying Ad-hoc networks were described. Likewise, its relationship with UAVs devices was detailed along with its most important characteristics in terms of cellular communications.

In the second chapter, the elements used to carry out the simulation of the proposed system in Matlab were explained. In addition, in the corresponding elements, the parameters that allow assigning a request to a certain type of traffic were detailed.

In the third chapter, the results obtained for the proposed simulation and the conclusions to which they led were presented. It should be noted that the results were analyzed individually and jointly for the same conditions so that there exists many information sources and the conclusions obtained were more precise.
