Abstract
In recent decades, the most rapid change in wireless technology has been that flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) played a vital role in telecommunications. FANETs are flexible, inexpensive, and faster to deploy, which has led to the pathway to apply them in various applications such as military and civilian. However, FANETs have high mobility, and frequently changing topology patterns and tri-dimensional space movement make routing a challenging task in FANETs. FANETs differ from vehicular ad hoc network (VANETs) and mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) in terms of features and attributes. It is always a challenge to choose the optimal path in any network using routing protocol. Due to these challenges, the performance and efficiency of the routing protocol have become critical. As network performance metrics like throughput, quality of service, user experience, response time, and other key parameters depends on the efficiency of the algorithm running inside the routing protocol, this chapter presents a novel routing protocol for FANETs in terms of distributed network routing algorithms and data forwarding routing.
