Abstract

FANET (flying ad-hoc network) has provided broad area for research and deployment due to efficient use of the capabilities of drones and UAVs (unmanned ariel vehicles) in several military and rescue applications. Drones have high mobility in 3D (3 dimensional) environment and low battery power, which produce various problems such as small journey time and infertile routing. The optimal routing for communication will assist to resolve these problems and provide the energy efficient and secure data transmission over FANET. Hence, in this paper, we proposed a whale optimization algorithm based optimized link state routing (WOA-OLSR) over FANET to provide optimal routing for energy efficient and secure FANET. The efficiency of OLSR is enhanced by using WOA and evaluated performance shows the better efficiency of WOA-OLSR in terms of some parameters such as a packet delivery ratio, end to end delay, energy utilization, throughput, and time complexity against the previous approaches OLSR, MP-OLSR, P-OLSR, ML-OLSR-FIFO and ML-OLSR-PMS.
