ABSTRACT
Owing to the remarkable growth of wireless communication and networking technologies, commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have newly arisen and employed in the significant parts of our sky. Abundant advancement is anticipated in the domain of UAV communication in the upcoming decades. The cooperation between multiple UAVs in the air can logically form a flying ad hoc network (FANET) by transferring information among them. FANETs can be used to achieve numerous missions and provide essential aid to ground networks. Nevertheless, they are opposed to several challenges and complications due to the movement of UAVs, the regular packet losses, and broken links between UAVs. Moreover, FANETs are operated with batteries, and energy consumption is a severe problem in FANETs. Furthermore, various activities of UAVs are responsible for energy consumption. This paper surveys different communication protocols and techniques expected to minimize energy consumption in FANETs and guarantee a high level of communication stability with increased network lifetime. Different energy conservation techniques for FANETs are qualitatively compared with each other. Open issues and research challenges are also discussed.
