QoS and QoE Aware Routing Protocol for Flying Ad-Hoc Surveillance Networks Using Fuzzy Inference Systems

Abstract

Abstract The Flying Ad-hoc Network (FANET) networks have often operated in regions that are difficult to reach and have no fixed infrastructure. The use of devices such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) enable aerial networks to be created that are extremely fast, although there are no specific routing protocols for this type of network that can make communication more efficient among these devices. For this reason, this paper sets out a specific routing protocol for FANET networks that is designed for the discovery of routes among UAV devices. Evidence of the benefits of this strategy has been obtained through simulation by the Network Simulator version 2.
