A novel directional routing scheme for flying ad-hoc networks
Ganbayar Gankhuyag, Anish Prasad Shrestha, Sang‐Jo Yoo · 2016
Current mobile ad-hoc routing protocols are not suitable for flying ad-hoc network, because of the dynamic environmental conditions, high mobility and terrain structures. In this paper, we propose a novel directional routing scheme for flying ad-hoc network using combined omnidirectional and directional transmissions. The proposed scheme features hybrid use of unicasting and geocasting routing using location and trajectory information. Moreover, our proposed scheme increases the route setup success rate and average path lifetime compared to conventional AODV protocol.
