Abstract:
Increasing demands for flexible communications have led to the fast emergence in networking between autopilot vehicles (drones) usually referred to flying ad-hoc networks (FANETs). The existing mobile ad-hoc network routing protocols are not enough to meet the requirements of high speed of unmanned aerial vehicles of FANETs. Due to high-speed mobility, the link between two nodes is always variable showing unstable connection. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a link aware on demand routing protocol (LAOD). Our protocol uses link expiration time to set up a stable connection between the source and the destination. In addition, it repairs the route at link level to ensure reliability. Mathematical evaluations show that our protocol performs better than AODV in packet delivery ratio, latency, energy consumption and average path lifetime.
