Description: Smart-Fly is a simulation framework for multi-timescale control in Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs). It provides algorithms and tools for relay positioning, bandwidth assignment, and rate adaptation. The framework is designed for researchers, engineers, and students interested in wireless communications, UAV networking, and resource allocation. It aims to facilitate reproducible experiments and rapid prototyping of new algorithms.
What the project does: Simulates and analyzes relay positioning, bandwidth allocation, and rate adaptation in FANETs.
Who it is for: Researchers, engineers, and students in wireless communications and UAV networking.
The problem it solves: Provides a reproducible, extensible platform for evaluating and developing algorithms for multi-timescale control in drone-based networks.
This project is currently in active development. Core functionalities are working, but improvements and new features are ongoing.
- Language: Python 3
- Libraries: numpy, pandas, scipy, matplotlib, joblib
- Standalone simulation framework (no web UI)
