Reactive Flooding versus Link State Routing for FANET in Precision Agriculture

The paper proposes a comparison between two different coordination protocols for UAVs management in the agriculture domain. In precision agriculture the presence of parasites or the sudden climatic changes represent an important issue for farmers because of the degradation of crops and cultivation quality. Then, the use of the new technologies such as UAVs devices, the new networks such as FANET and the utilization of new sensors and actuators inside UAVs can represent an important aid to the farmers and the agriculture. An important aspect is, surely, the adequate management and coordination of these new devices in order to plan specific strategies able to support adequately the agriculture humans operators.
