Abstract

In this paper, we studied on MAC(Media Access Control) protocol for UAVs application. According to the number of UAVs, ground control station should control properly increased UAVs. So, we applied CSMA/CA that used in current civil aircraft to UAV communications and verified the applicability through comparison of throughput and delays of data with various message sizes, In the results, we confirmed applicability for UAVs MAC protocol.

본 논문에서는 점차 쓰임새가 다양해지는 무인항공기의 매체접속제어 프로토콜 적용에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 무인항공기의 대수가 증가함에 따라 지상통제소에서 동시에 제어해야할 항공기의 대수도 증가하게 된다. 이를 위해 현재 민간항공기에서 사용하는 다중접속제어 방식인 CSMA/CA를 무인항공기 통신방식에 적용하여 메시지 크기에 따른 데이터 처리량 및 지연시간을 비교를 통하여 이의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다. 그 결과 무인항공기 매체접속제어 적용가능성을 확인해볼 수 있었다.
