Abstract
In this paper, we analyze Quality of Service (QoS) metrics for AODV, OLSR and HWMP routing protocols in Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) with the help of an NS-3 simulation tool. We compare proactive, reactive, and hybrid approaches to search and maintain paths in FANET based on hop count, PDR (Packet Delivery Ratio), and overheads metrics in source-destination transmission through the swarm of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). In the article, swarms of 10, 15 and 20 nodes were considered. The Gauss-Markov Mobility Model is used to simulate the UAV behavior in a swarm. The size of a simulated area is variable and changes from 250 to 750 meters. Average metrics were calculated in all cases. In addition, we calculate the Goodput metric and compare it with correspondent overheads. Results show that using HWMP in the considered mobile scenario grants higher PDR in trade-off, increased overheads.
