This description was written by a machine and published without a person checking it. It is what the agent made of this grouping, and not a statement anybody has stood behind.
Networks that fly
A subject the papers are about. The loosest grouping, and the one to reach for last.
Networks whose nodes fly. Collects the work on aerial and swarm networking, where coverage and connectivity are the same trade-off seen from two ends: the further a swarm spreads, the worse its links get. Search-and-rescue deployments belong here as the application that forces the trade-off rather than as a separate subject.
