Delay and Energy Aware Routing (DEAR) Protocol for UAV Networks
IECE Transactions on Intelligent Unmanned Systems | Volume 2, Issue 1: 1-14, 2025 | DOI: 10.62762/TIUS.2024.271748
Abstract
The proliferation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs) has brought about significant advancements in applications such as surveillance, search and rescue, and environmental monitoring. However, the unique characteristics of UAV networks, including high mobility, limited energy resources, and the need for low-latency communication, pose substantial challenges for efficient and reliable communication. As a result, the design of routing protocols that can effectively manage energy consumption and reduce transmission delays has become a critical area of research. In FANETs, energy efficiency and delay minimization are two key concerns that directly affect the per... More >
