Flight Path Simulation in LabVIEW using LDAR

Abstract

This paper compares the results of the MATLAB flight path simulation earlier with the LabVIEW software defined radio module which is being developed at Morgan State University in collaboration with Georgia Tech. Research Institute under the Link Dependent Adaptive Radio (LDAR) project. In LDAR, the communication parameters such as modulation size and coding rate are updated based on the channel condition. In this simulation QAM size is updated based on the channel throughput in LabVIEW and a flight path using real aeronautical channels is simulated.
