MaNet for autonomous drone coordination
Personal Work
Private communication network for autonomous drone coordination based off of 802.11ah standard. Purpose: gather greater understanding of protocol standards and RF communications troubleshooting.
Tech Stack
Problem
Autonomous systems need a resilient local coordination layer that can keep nodes talking when normal infrastructure is unavailable, unreliable, or intentionally out of scope.
What I Built
Designed a private mobile ad hoc network concept around 802.11ah constraints, mapped the coordination requirements, and documented RF troubleshooting paths for range, interference, and device discovery.
What I Learned
The strongest lesson so far is that protocol work is equal parts standards reading, environmental testing, and failure-mode logging. RF behavior becomes easier to reason about when every assumption is tied to a measurement.
