• Abstract summary: One major challenge in cellular networks is a dynamic change in the number of users and their usage of telecommunication service. One class of solution to deal with this overloading issue is the deployment of drones that can act as temporary base stations. Drones are highly constrained in their resources and can only fly for a few minutes.

• Abstract: Cellular networks are ubiquitous entities that provide major means of communication all over the world. One major challenge in cellular networks is a dynamic change in the number of users and their usage of telecommunication service which results in overloading at certain base stations. One class of solution to deal with this overloading issue is the deployment of drones that can act as temporary base stations and offload the traffic from the overloaded base station. There are two main challenges in the development of this solution. Firstly, the drone is expected to be present around the base station where an overload would occur in the future thus requiring a prediction of traffic overload. Secondly, drones are highly constrained in their resources and can only fly for a few minutes. If the affected base station is really far, drones can never reach there. This requires the initial placement of drones in sectors where overloading can occur thus again requiring a traffic forecast but at a different spatial scale. It must be noted that the spatial extent of the region that the problem poses and the extremely limited power resources available to the drone pose a great challenge that is hard to overcome without deploying the drones in strategic positions to reduce the time to fly to the required high-demand zone. Moreover, since drone fly at a finite speed, it is important that a predictive solution that can forecast traffic surges is adopted so that drones are available to offload the overload before it actually happens. Both these goals require analysis and forecast of cellular network traffic which is the main goal of this project

  We propose Obfuscated Location disclOsure for RID-enabled drones (OLO-RID) Instead of disclosing the actual drone's location, drones equipped with OLO-RID disclose a differentially private obfuscated location in a mobile scenario. OLO-RID also extends RID messages with encrypted location information, accessible only by authorized entities.

  Sub-SI50gram nano-drones are gaining momentum in both academia and industry. Their most compelling applications rely on onboard deep learning models for perception. When deployed in unknown environments, these models often underperform due to domain shift. We propose for the first time, on-device learning aboard nano-drones, where the first part of the in-field mission is dedicated to self-supervised fine-tuning.

  Drone-to-drone detection using visual feed has crucial applications, such as detecting drone collisions, detecting drone attacks, or coordinating flight with other drones. Existing methods are computationally costly, follow non-end-to-end optimization, and have complex multi-stage pipelines, making them less suitable for real-time deployment on edge devices. We propose a simple yet effective framework, itTransVisDrone, that provides an end-to-end solution with higher computational efficiency.

  This paper attempts to address the problem of drones detection from other flying drones variations. The erratic movement of the source and target drones, small size, arbitrary shape, large intensity, and occlusion make this problem quite challenging. To handle this, instead of using region-proposal based methods, we propose to use a two-stage segmentation-based approach.
