ABSTRACT

The ability of dynamic reconfigurability, quick response and ease of deployment has made Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), a paramount solution in several areas such as military applications. Flying ad-hoc network (FANET) is a network of UAVs connected wirelessly and configured continuously without infrastructures. Routing on its own is not significant, but the mobility sequence of a UAV in FANETs is a more significant factor and an interesting research topic. The routing protocols gives us a certain and better perception of routing structure for FANETs. In this paper, routing protocols such as Ad-hoc On-Demand Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA), Geographic Routing Protocol (GRP) and Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) are compared using performance parameters such as number-of-hops, packet loss ratio, throughput, end-to-end delay and throughput. The mobility models like Pursue Mobility Model (PRS), Semi-Circular Random Movement (SCRM), Manhattan Grid Mobility Model (MGM) and Random Waypoint Mobility (RWPM). The evaluation is carried out with three scenarios including one sender node and one receiver node, all senders one receiver and all senders all receivers are considered for above protocols and mobility models. For all evaluation scenarios, the performance of OLSR is the most efficient among the five routing protocols under four different performance parameters due to its proactive nature which makes the routing information up to date with the help of MPR (Multi Point Relay) in the network, resulting in the reduction of routing overhead in the network. Keywords—Flying ad-hoc network (FANET); mobility models; adhoc routing protocols; OPNET; Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
