Evaluating the noise on the transmitted bits or frames and its effect on connectivity is essential in Wireless Sensor Networks when designing and deploying IoT networks. When the sensor nodes are positioned on the ground, the number of correctly received frames can fluctuate due to obstructions, interference, and the processing capacity of the nodes. Therefore, implementing strategies and systems to monitor and evaluate the rate of lost frames is required. This paper presents the implementation of a system designed to assess the rate of erroneous IEEE 802.15.4 frames within a communication setup that includes a ground control station, an unmanned aerial vehicle, and surface-based sensor nodes.
