Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have a plethora of applications in extreme time-sensitive use cases by forming an advantageous structure with low-power devices. In time-sensitive cases, effective communication plays an important role in low-power devices. It is challenging to design a communication protocol if the node poses mobility. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient communication protocol for data transfer from multiple sources via mobile relay nodes. The paper proposes the use of mobility vector information, such as the location of the nodes, speed, and direction along with the communication range to route the data to the next hop. Once the gateway node detects the presence of multiple sources, a Steiner tree algorithm is used to calculate the best routing path connecting multiple sources to the gateway node via the mobile relay nodes. The proposed algorithm guarantees that the number of nodes participating in routing is minimal and is capable of dynamically selecting the neighboring nodes with respect to the varying topology. The simulation results show that the proposed approach is better in terms of packet delivery ratio and energy efficiency.
