Abstract
Therefore, this study aims to introduce a novel framework for leader and coordinator selection in a swarm of UAVs that may further reduce communication delay and increase the data transmission rate. The proposed reliable framework avoids single-point failure. We use an integrated greedy approach for leader selection using better channel gain, enhanced data transmission rate, and minimal round-trip delays as metrics. Furthermore, the UAV coordinator is selected based on the nearest distance. In addition, this study also proposes an efficient and iterative algorithm for the effective selection of UAV leaders and coordinators. The experimental results indicate that our proposed protocol minimizes delay by 20% and increases the data transmission rate by 102bps as compared with existing methods.
