Implementation of the AeroRP and AeroNP Protocols in Python

Abstract

The domain-specific ANTP protocol suite consisting of AeroTP, AeroRP, and AeroNP has been developed to cope with the challenges in highly-dynamic airborne telemetry networks. These protocols have been designed and modelled through simulation methodology. In this paper, we present an implementation of the AeroRP and AeroNP components in Python. Initially, we implement and test through an emulated wireless environment on the PlanetLab testbed. Further, we present our prototype implementation that is deployed in a real-world wireless environment using radio-controlled vehicles.
