摘要
This work presents an experimental performance study on the wireless communication of a quadrocopter connected to an LTE-Advanced network. Measurements of TCP traffic analyze how the received power level, signal-to-interference ratio, and throughput depend on the flight height. An average throughput of 20 Mb/s in the downlink and 40 Mb/s in the uplink is achieved at 150 m. We also show how the number of line-of-sight links to base stations rises with height and leads to an increased handover rate.
