Abstract

Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs) is a group of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) which completed their work without human intervention. There are some problems in this kind of networks: the first one is the communication between (UAVs). Various routing protocols introduced classified into three categories, static, proactive, reactive routing protocols in order to solve this problem. The second problem is the network design, which depends on the network mobility, in which is the process of cooperation and collaboration between the UAV. Mobility model of FANET is introduced in order to solve this problem. In Mobility Model, the path and speed variations of the UAV and represents their position are defined. As of today, Random Way Point Model is utilized as manufactured one for Mobility in the greater part of recreation situations. The Arbitrary Way Point model is not relevant for the UAV in light of the fact that UAV do not alter their course and versatility, speed quickly at one time because of this reason, we consider more practical models, called Semi-Random Circular Movement (SRCM) Mobility Model. Also, we consider different portability models, Mission Plan-Based (MPB) Mobility Model, Pheromone-Based Model. Moreover, Paparazzi Mobility Model (PPRZM). This paper presented and discussed the main routing protocols and main mobility models used to solve the communication, cooperation, and collaboration in FANET networks

Highlights

  • Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs) (Flying Ad-hoc Networks) is a group of Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAVs) communicating with each other with no need to access point, but at least one of them must be connected to a ground base or satellite [1]

  • This paper focuses on the routing protocols and mobility models that have been used in the FANET network to solve communication, cooperation and collaboration problem between Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs)

  • FANET are a network with nodes –UAVsflying in the sky [1], which can automatically fly without human help

Summary

INTRODUCTION

FANETs (Flying Ad-hoc Networks) is a group of Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAVs) communicating with each other with no need to access point, but at least one of them must be connected to a ground base or satellite [1]. UAVs work without human help, like autopilot. This is because cheaper and small wireless communicating devices, the in recent years, many research fields from academia and industry make attention on FANETs. FANETs are used in various applications such as military and civil applications [1], such as managing wildfire [2] and disaster monitoring [3]. Two factors affect protocol simulation: the first one is mobility model, and the second one is the communicating traffic pattern, among others. This paper focuses on the routing protocols and mobility models that have been used in the FANET network to solve communication, cooperation and collaboration problem between UAVs. The rest of this paper is organized as follows.
