Elastic Routing Mechanism for Flying Ad Hoc Network

Flying Ad-Hoc Network (FANET) is a hot topic in current research. The design of routing mechanism challenging because when the scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) nodes large, vast amount overhead may lead to network collapse. An elastic proposed for large-scale small UAVs multitasking scenarios. Firstly, New-Unifying Connected Dominating Set (N-UCDS) algorithm construct virtual backbone based on connected dominating set. number neighboring nodes, remaining energy and link duration are considered influence UAV performance electing nodes. Secondly, by deploying running New Better Approach Mobile Network-Advanced (NBATMAN-ADV) protocol quality can be evaluated using received signal strength index signal-to-noise ratio physical layer data. In this way, change quickly sensed while reducing overhead. simulation results show that paper has significantly improved average packet delivery rate, end-to-end delay throughput compared with other traditional proactive protocols.
