Description

This work presents UNetyEmu as a novel framework that enables realistic multi-vehicle experiments with aerial and non-aerial mobility alongside network emulation. By integrating Unity’s 3D simulation and Mininet-WiFi’s real-time network emulation, UNetyEmu allows researchers to conduct studies in smart city applications like 5G vehicular communication, edge computing, and drone coordination. Our framework is easily customizable and facilitates the evaluation of drone-related algorithms, such as obstacle avoidance and route planning, and studying network aspects, such as coverage and RSSI.
