Cover Story: Nowadays, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are being widely used for multiple operations, such as precision agriculture, environmental data collection, search-and-rescue operations, surveillance, etc. When designing effective UAV swarm-based applications, a key “ingredient” is a multi-protocol communication layer that is shared between flying drones and ground Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs); this design will often benefit from the presence of Line-of-Sight (LOS) links between UAVs (flying at altitudes of tens of meters) and terrestrial stations. Therefore, the adoption of hybrid networking strategies and architectures for UAV swarms, leveraging heterogeneous radio mesh networking communication protocols (e.g., IEEE 802.11s and LoRa), allows one to exchange data more robustly and more flexibly than single protocol-based architectures.
