ABSTRACT
In our work we analyze the network traffic generated by a small low-cost quadcopter. In particular, we consider the IEEE 802.11n protocol focusing on the live video streaming communication between the UAV and its controller in different outdoor scenarios. First we describe the network protocols of the drone and the testing methodology, then we analyze and evaluate the characteristics and the performances of the generated network. A clear distinction arises by comparing an uncongested network against a congested one. Different frequencies highlight quite distinct network profiles while various altitudes show to have a significant impact only on the signal degradation and not on the packet size distribution.
