Moreover, the protocol defines how to validate the effectiveness of the integration, including a multi-site vertical service deployment with NFV-capable small aerial vehicles. Engineering Automated Deployment of an Internet Protocol Telephony Service on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Using Network Functions Virtualization Borja Nogales*1, Ivan Vidal*1, Victor Sanchez-Aguero*1,2, Francisco Valera*1, Luis F. Gonzalez*1, Arturo Azcorra*1,2 1Department of Telematic Engineering, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, 2IMDEA Networks Institute The objective of the described protocol is twofold: to configure a network functions virtualization environment using unmanned aerial vehicles as computational entities providing the underlying structure to execute virtualized network functions and to use this environment to support the automated deployment of a functional internet protocol telephony service over the aerial vehicles.
