Figure 15.
Aerial view of the location (Cyberjaya, Malaysia) for drone speed measurement.
Data from the EN were transmitted every 5 s, while data were received by the GW
every 9 and 7 s for the case of SF12 and SF7, respectively. The difference in time required
to receive data in SF12 and SF7 is due to the on-air time, as SF12 on-air time is longer than
SF7. In addition, the drone flew at different speeds with a ±5 km/h variation due to un-
predictable wind direction during measurement and a fixed altitude of 100 m above the
ground.
Figure 16 shows the percentages of packet delivery at different speeds for SF12 and
SF7, which are 100% and 77.27% (on average), respectively. Results show the robustness
of SF12 towards the Doppler effect, while SF7, on the other hand, is proven to be sensitive
to the drone speed, especially at a speed of 35 km/h and above. This measurement offered
a new insight into the performance of LoRaWAN
®
-based aerial communication because
the previous study in [46] was limited to 50 km/h.
