C. Classification of UAV Data Traffic
The UAV-based networking systems must consider the
different types of data traffic and their QoS characteristics.
The associated networking protocols must support stringent
requirements of the exchanged U2U and U2I data. In table
I, a classification of the various types of UAV-based network
data traffic is presented. The table presents the data traffic
types, their delay, delay jitter, and bandwidth (data rate)
requirements along with some sample applications that might
use this kind of data.
