Reliable Multipath Loss Aware Design for Effective Routing in Flying Ad-Hoc

In recent days Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) is a most trending technology that works using the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) which serves for several applications such as military and civil applications. Due to its special characteristics it receives a maximum attention among the industrial and academic researchers. Routing in FANETs becomes more difficult due to certain functionalities of the network environment so it becomes very essential to design an effective routing protocol to achieve maximum better performance it FANETs. In general, the UAVs perform communication with ground level vehicles and inter UAVs communication will occur. However, in FANETs, high speed mobility creates more complexity in end to end connectivity. For that purpose, in this research Reliable Multipath Loss Aware Design (RMLAD) is proposed that created effective routing model with the use of certain parameters such as node energy, node buffer, utility function, and node speed and path quality. Using these parameters, the congestion control and mobility monitoring is improved in the network that leads to achieve effective communication in FANETs. The Heterogeneous FANETs network is constructed in NS2 and the extensive simulation results are demonstrated using the parameters such as packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, energy efficiency, and routing overhead where it gets compared with the earlier researches such as MPR-FANETs and HNR-FANETs. From the simulation outcome it is proven that our proposed RMLAD-FANETs can exhibit superior performance in terms of packet delivery ratio and energy efficiency likewise lower end to end delay and routing overhead when compared with the earlier approaches.
