Abstract

One of the most important design problems for multi-UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicle) systems is the communication which is crucial for cooperation and collaboration between the UAVs. If all UAVs are directly connected to an infrastructure, such as a ground base or a satellite, the communication between UAVs can be realized through the in-frastructure. However, this infrastructure based communication architecture restricts the capabilities of the multi-UAV systems. Ad-hoc networking between UAVs can solve the problems arising from a fully infrastructure based UAV networks. In this paper, Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs) are surveyed which is an ad hoc network connecting the UAVs. The differences between FANETs, MANETs (Mobile Ad-hoc Networks) and VANETs (Vehicle Ad-Hoc Networks) are clarified first, and then the main FANET design challenges are introduced. Along with the existing FANET protocols, open research issues are also discussed.

Conclusions

Communication is one of the most challenging design issues for multi-UAV systems. In this paper, ad hoc networks between UAVs are surveyed as a separate network family, Flying Ad-hoc Network (FANET). We formally define FANET and present several FANET application scenarios. We also discuss the differences between FANET and other ad hoc network types in terms of mobility, node density, topology change, radio propagation model, power consumption, computational power and localization. FANET design considerations are also investigated as adaptability, scalability, latency, UAV platform constraints, and bandwidth. We provide a comprehensive review of the recent literature on FANETs and related issues in a layered approach. Furthermore, we also discuss open research issues for FANETs, along with the cross-layer designs. The existing FANET test beds and simulators are also presented.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first article which surveyed flying ad hoc network as a separate ad hoc network family. Our main motivation is to define multi-UAV ad hoc network problem, and to encourage more researchers to work for the solutions to open research issues as described in this paper.
