Description
Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced Wireless (AERPAW) is the
first wireless communication research platform envisioned and built to allow studying the
convergence of advanced wireless communication technologies (such as 5G) and autonomous
drones. The platform became generally available to the public in November 2021.
AERPAW as a Batch-Mode facility. Experimenters develop experiments in the Digital
Twin and submit experiments for execution on the physical testbed once development is
complete. AERPAW operations personnel (Ops) then execute these submitted experiments
in the physical testbed environment and collect the results of the experiments as designed by
the Experimenters, which then are available for Experimenters to view and analyze back in
the Digital Twin. This tutorial introduces researchers to the AERPAW Digital Twin and its
capabilities, enabling hands-on experimentation with wireless technologies and autonomous
drones. Researchers who attend the tutorial will gain the skills to test their fundamental
research ideas in a realistic wireless testbed.
Our tutorial is designed to be self-guided and self-paced. We have prepared a Self-paced
Tutorial Environment (STE) to support participants, and it will continue to be available
even after the event so that participants can access and learn anytime. STE is identical to
the Production Environment (PE) but forms a separate, distinct substrate for practice.
