The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We show how the use of a wrong model can lead to significant errors in energy consumption calculations.

C2weakest assumption

That the models and misconceptions reviewed in the literature are representative enough of current wireless systems research practices to serve as reliable guidelines for model selection.

C3one line summary

This review categorizes UAV energy models for wireless research, identifies frequent misconceptions in their application, and demonstrates that incorrect model choice leads to significant errors in energy calculations.
