Abstract

Flying ad hoc networks (FANETs), an innovative airborne networking paradigm, are expected to play a vital role in emerging military and civilian applications. However, the dynamic nature of flying nodes imposes significant challenges on efficient routing design. In this paper, considering the frequent changes of topology, we first define a stability indicator and an efficiency indicator for a link and use them as a prior knowledge to enhance the robustness and agility of route discovery. Then, we design a distributed hybrid proactive-reactive ant colony routing protocol tailored for highly dynamic FANETs. Our protocol unifies the data transmission and routing control processes. It gleans the benefits of both a multi-round reactive ant-sending mechanism and a proactive pheromone updating process. Hence, it is well adapted to highly dynamic scenarios while minimizing the routing overhead. Extensive simulation results with ns-3 show that our scheme comprehensively outperforms existing routing schemes in FANETs in terms of latency, packet loss rate, overhead and jitter, especially in highly dynamic scenarios.

一种针对高动态 FANET 的分布式主动-反应式混合蚁群路由协议，具有链路质量预测功能

飞行自组织网络（fanet）是一种创新的机载网络范例，有望在新兴的军事和民用应用中发挥重要作用。然而，飞行节点的动态特性对有效的路由设计提出了重大挑战。考虑到链路拓扑结构的频繁变化，本文首先定义了链路的稳定性指标和效率指标，并将其作为先验知识来增强路由发现的鲁棒性和敏捷性。然后，我们设计了一种适合于高动态fanet的分布式混合主动响应蚁群路由协议。我们的协议统一了数据传输和路由控制过程。它收集了多轮反应性抗发送机制和主动信息素更新过程的优点。因此，它可以很好地适应高度动态的场景，同时最小化路由开销。ns-3的大量仿真结果表明，我们的方案在延迟、丢包率、开销和抖动方面全面优于现有的fanet路由方案，特别是在高动态场景下。

期刊介绍： The scope of the Transactions is threefold (which was approved by the IEEE Periodicals Committee in 1967) and is published on the journal website as follows: Communications: The use of mobile radio on land, sea, and air, including cellular radio, two-way radio, and one-way radio, with applications to dispatch and control vehicles, mobile radiotelephone, radio paging, and status monitoring and reporting. Related areas include spectrum usage, component radio equipment such as cavities and antennas, compute control for radio systems, digital modulation and transmission techniques, mobile radio circuit design, radio propagation for vehicular communications, effects of ignition noise and radio frequency interference, and consideration of the vehicle as part of the radio operating environment. Transportation Systems: The use of electronic technology for the control of ground transportation systems including, but not limited to, traffic aid systems; traffic control systems; automatic vehicle identification, location, and monitoring systems; automated transport systems, with single and multiple vehicle control; and moving walkways or people-movers. Vehicular Electronics: The use of electronic or electrical components and systems for control, propulsion, or auxiliary functions, including but not limited to, electronic controls for engineer, drive train, convenience, safety, and other vehicle systems; sensors, actuators, and microprocessors for onboard use; electronic fuel control systems; vehicle electrical components and systems collision avoidance systems; electromagnetic compatibility in the vehicle environment; and electric vehicles and controls.
