IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Distinguished Lecture
Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications for Uncrewed Aircraft Systems
As Advanced Air Mobility services increase, the density of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is expected to increase significantly in the near future. Such a rise in the number of UAS highlights the need for enhanced situational awareness in the airspace and over-the-air information sharing among the UAS. Traditional approaches developed for crewed aircraft are not sufficient for UAS. In this talk, Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) for UAS is presented as a means to enhancing situational awareness and safety in the airspace. V2V communication is essential for enabling UAS to operate cooperatively, avoid collisions, and respond to dynamic scenarios in the airspace. As airspace is a shared resource, certain questions, such as which aircraft has the right of way, need to be addressed unambiguously. This talk includes five use-case scenarios proposed by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics, one of the UAS standards organization.

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications for Unmanned Aircraft Systems
Biography:
Kamesh Namuduri is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and the Director of Autonomous Systems Laboratory at the University of North Texas (UNT). He received his B.S. degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Osmania University, India, in 1984, M.S. degree in Computer Science from University of Hyderabad in 1986, and Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from University of South Florida in 1992. Over the past eleven years, his research is focused on aerial networking and communications. He is serving as the chair for two Standards Working Groups (IEEE 1920.1: Aerial Communications and Networking and IEEE P1920.2: Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications for Unmanned Aircraft Systems). He served as the Chair for the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society’s Ad Hoc Committee on Drones, as the Vice Chair for “Aerial Communications”, an emerging technology initiative of the IEEE Communication Society, and as an Expert Adviser on UAVs, COM/Access Core Standards Committee, IEEE Communications Society. He is a co-editor for the book titled “UAV Networks and Communications” published by the Cambridge University Press in 2017. He is leading the Smart and Connected Community project on “Deployable Communication Systems” in collaboration with the government, public, and private organizations. This living laboratory project was demonstrated thrice during the Global City Teams Challenge hosted jointly by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and US Ignite in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. He contributed to the development of research agenda, requirements and blueprints highly deployable communications systems led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and National Public Safety Telecommunications Council. Since 2020, Namuduri is serving as an academic lead to a team of fifteen organizations including three universities and four start-up companies engaging as an airspace partner in the Advanced Air Mobility, National Campaign. For the 2021-2023 and 2023-2025 terms, Namuduri is named as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society. Namuduri has been organizing a webinar series on Advanced Air Mobility, which can be accessed via IEEE VTS knowledge portal.
