Impact of Routing Techniques and Mobility Models on Flying Ad Hoc Networks

In wireless sensor networks, nodes can be mobile or static depending upon application. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is composed of wireless sensors. UAVs are connected on temporary bases creating Flying Ad hoc Network (FANET). It is considered as sub-class of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) and Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET). Ease of deployment and hardware cost makes FANET best choice over other Ad hoc Networks. Mobility Models and Routing Techniques are two main components in deployment of FANET for maximum output. In this research study we have studied all Routing Techniques and Mobility Models which are utilized in various applications of FANET. Finally, we suggest best suitable mobility models and routing techniques for each FANET application.
