This study introduces a new routing protocol for cognitive radio unmanned aerial vehicles (CR-UAVs) in flying ad-hoc networks (FANETs). The protocol enhances network performance and security, showing superior results in simulations for UAV communications.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Electrical Engineering
- Network Engineering
Background:
- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) require dependable communication networks for both defense and civilian applications.
- Flying Ad-hoc Networks (FANETs) present unique routing challenges due to high mobility and dynamic network topologies.
- Existing routing protocols often struggle with efficiency, security, and adaptability in complex FANET environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a novel routing protocol for Cognitive Radio Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (CR-UAVs) within FANETs.
- To optimize route selection by integrating key performance metrics and a novel decision-making factor.
- To enhance the robustness, security, and efficiency of communication networks for UAVs.
Main Methods:
- A new routing protocol for CR-UAVs in FANETs is proposed, optimizing route selection using distance, speed, link quality, and energy consumption.
- The Central Node Resolution Factor (CNRF) is introduced to improve routing decisions, complemented by Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) for distance estimation.
- Predictive algorithms, security measures for malicious node identification, and efficient route maintenance strategies are integrated, including cluster management.
Main Results:
- The protocol demonstrates superior performance compared to existing methods, particularly in throughput and reduced packet transmission delay.
- Simulations evaluated end-to-end delay, throughput, packet delivery ratio, and normalized routing load under varying packet sizes.
- The protocol effectively handles dynamic network changes, including node joins/leaves and link failures, while maintaining efficient routing.
Conclusions:
- The proposed CR-UAV routing protocol offers significant improvements in network performance and reliability for FANETs.
- Its ability to optimize routing, enhance security, and manage dynamic network conditions makes it suitable for both defense and civilian UAV applications.
- The protocol's effectiveness in simulations highlights its potential for widespread adoption in advanced UAV communication systems.
