Paper outline: communication needs for multi-UAV systems

• Use cases

• Building blocks
  • Collision avoidance at the intersection between control and communication
  • Multimedia communication
  • Map exchange

• Requirements
  • Low data rate, small average delay, small variance of delay
  • High data rate, medium delay
  • Medium data rate, high delay

• Technologies/ protocols and their suitability
• Research needs and directions
