A Proposal for Routing Protocol for FANET: A Fuzzy System Approach with QoEQoS Guarantee

Abstract EN

The flying ad hoc network (FANET) has emerged as an alternative access technology for regions that have no fixed infrastructure or are hard to reach.

This new type of network is composed of devices called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that communicate with each other, but there is no specific routing protocol to FANET applications that allows efficient communication between these devices.

This paper proposes a FANET adaptive routing protocol based on the fuzzy system.

The validation of the FANET adaptive protocol was performed through simulation using Network Simulator version 2 (NS-2) and, it was assessed by quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) metrics.
