Abstract
In this work, we present an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) wireless dataset collected as part of the AERPAW Autonomous Aerial Data Mule (AADM) challenge, organized by the NSF Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced Wireless (AERPAW) project. The AADM challenge was the second competition in which an autonomous UAV acted as a data mule, where the UAV downloaded data from multiple base stations (BSs) in a dynamic wireless environment. Participating teams designed flight control and decision-making algorithms for choosing which BSs to communicate with and how to plan flight trajectories to maximize data download within a mission completion time. The competition was conducted in two stages: Stage 1 involved development and experimentation using a digital twin (DT) environment, and in Stage 2, the final test run was conducted on the outdoor testbed. The total score for each…
