Quality of experience (QoE) and quality of service (QoS) in UAV systems

“Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are integrations of computation and physical processes [11]. Embedded computers and networks monitor and control the physical processes, usually with feedback loops where physical processes affect computations and vice versa. For operation, they require data. An Unnamed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an autonomous system which operates automatically without a human pilot; flight operates various degree of autonomy is controlled via computers [1] and can acquire unique data about physical process, thus allowing for real-time monitoring, management, control and actuation tasks in a CPS to be achieved. A UAV system also is known as a drone plane, which is commonly used for monitoring prohibited actives and target militants without risking the life of security forces. UAV was initially designed and developed for the military purpose and mostly used in remote sensing. Nowadays, UAV are used in much broader applications such as in agricultural, recreational, scientific, commercial as well as in applications such as policing, peacekeeping and surveillance, product deliveries, aerial photography, smuggling and drone racing [2, 3]. UAV collects data such as image capturing, video recording, measure temperature, humidity, crop identification, forest and water management in remote areas, mountains and agriculture fields [4]. UAV provide better monitoring and image data capturing with high resolution compared to satellite remote sensing.
