Abstract

Researchers worldwide have immensely contributed towards the field of MANETs. In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are being extensively used to create ad hoc networks due to their ability to be used in tactical as well as civilian areas. Interestingly, the research focus is being extended from one large UAV based network to multi-UAV ad hoc network consisting mini or micro UAVs, commonly known as Flying Ad hoc Network (FANET). There are various mobility models that are being used in MANETs and it is the right time to explore the capabilities of those mobility models for their use in FANETs. The underlying mobility model plays a vital role in simulating the performance of a routing protocol. In this paper, an analysis of various mobility models have been carried on parameters such as dependencies, connectivity metrics and real time applications with an eye on the adaptability of these models in FANETs.
