UAVs Reliable Transmission for Multicast Protocols in FANETs

Abstract

'Communication in the sky' is a trend because the increment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) use in wireless communications. UAVs have diverse applications in civil and military domains. Swarm of UAV system is able to combinedly finish the operations more reliably and financial more than single UAV. UAV system has rapidly changing topology due to high mobility devices. Currently, Mobile adhoc networks (MANETs) routing is used for communication in UAV networks, the standards for communication system in Flying adhoc Networks is yet to be developed. UAV system streaming information needs protocol with high bandwidth, high mobility, varying link stability and high energy consumption compare to adhoc networks. It leads to abruptly breaking communication in between UAV-to-UAV and UAV-to-ground. In this paper, we discuss the link stability issues in UAV communication systems. Link stability estimation is required for reliable communication in between end-to-end flying nodes. We have simulate the MANETs protocol for reliable communication in flying adhoc networks. We evaluate the performance of Flying adhoc networks (FANETs) communication model based on multiple performance metrics, and also suggested deployment scenarios on EXata/Cyber 2.0 to analyze the network performance. © 2019 IEEE.
