Abstract

Existing routing protocols are suitable for the well-connected network but are not suitable for the sparse network. This article presents a geographical routing scheme that utilizes a delay-tolerant routing protocol for on FANETs. The proposed ferry mobility-aware direction and time-based greedy DTN combines position routing strategy with DTN to reduce routing errors. Ferry unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) broadcast the beacons to make the other nodes aware of their next anchor location. The node that receives the beacon, calculates its nearest destination among the base station and ferry node. The source node chooses the forwarder node based on the time that neighbor nodes take to reach the destination and the zone to which that node belongs. Each node in the network uses the store-carry-and-forward technique. This paper proposes a new communication protocol with two-fold solutions, wherein low latency is the intrinsic aim. This trend highlights the impact of delivering data with lower routing overhead and lower latency in communication protocols. The proposed model proves its efficiency through the simulation scenarios, in the form of increased packet delivery, reduced end-to-end delay, and reduced overhead.
