Descriptive Analysis of OLSR Applicability to FANET with a Directional Antenna Based Various Propagation Models.

Adhoc network expansion to FANET has attracted researchers and different companies to think of it as a trade and let users use it as per their needs. Mobility, in contrast to the mobile revolution, has led to its implementation on different networks. FANET is a case where mobility is inculcated with flying nodes where UAVs are deployed in real-time scenarios linked together-operating cooperatively in the best possible coordination for successful data transmission to a base station. The operational efficiency of such networks is in different rapidly changing missions, from line-of-sight to beyond-line-of-sight. Mission applicability ranging from rescue, disaster relief, army, surveillance, delivery of goods, agriculture, 3D mapping, and many others necessitates the development of a competent routing protocol that takes into account the nature of the application and amenities for positioning UAVs. Routing in UAVs has serious questions owing to its fast mobility, sometimes static and, at the same time, static with dynamic. According to recent studies, directed transmission and reception can achieve significant throughput improvements over omnidirectional transmission and reception. Numerous routing protocols are proposed, but each has its pros and cons for such dynamic flying networks. This paper presents the simulation-based performance of the OLSR routing protocol in various propagation models for FANET with directional antenna in different scenarios and considerations (parameters).
