TITLE: INVESTIGATION FLYING AD-HOC NETWORK (FANET) BAESD ON ROUTING PROTOCOL

ABSTRACT: One of the most important design problems for the multi unmanned aerial vehicles systems is communication between UAVs. In a multi-UAV system, the communication between UAVs is provided with all UAVs connecting directly to the ground station via satellite or infrastructure. However, infrastructure or satellite based communication architectures restrict the capabilities of the multi-UAV systems. Infrastructure or satellite-based communication problems of multi-UAV systems can be solved with ad hoc networks among UAVs. This special ad hoc network structure is called as FANET. In this review paper, Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs) are reviewed which is an ad hoc network linking the UAVs. The communication protocols of FANET are explained first, and then the FANET scope are described. The differences between MANETs, FANETs and VANETs (Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks) are also described. Along with the available FANET protocols, open research issues are also talked about. The paper provides an insight into the reviewed literature to reveal new aspects of research.
