Abstract & Overview
Abstract This article presents a control-oriented low-altitude wireless network (LAWN) that integrates near-ground communications with remote system state estimation, enabling reliable networked control in dynamic aerial-ground environments. We introduce the network’s modular architecture, key performance metrics, and core design trade-offs across control, communication, and estimation layers. A case study demonstrates closed-loop coordination, and we outline future directions for scalable, resilient LAWN deployments in resource-constrained scenarios.
