Abstract
This paper presents GPSR-CB, a cross-layer approach to enhance the performance of greedy forwarding in the Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR) protocol for flying ad-hoc networks (FANETs) with multi-level backbone unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The cross-layer design combines adaptive transmission power control, link quality monitoring to assess and select reliable links, and ACK-based feedback mechanisms to address routing-void challenges in location-based routing. Specifically, GPSR-CB leverages a multi-level backbone UAV to support the greedy forwarding mode, whereas power control, link quality assessment, and ACK-based feedback help mitigate the changes in network topology, unstable links, and unreliable channels, particularly in FANET environments with noise and interference. Through comprehensive simulations conducted using OMNeT++, we demonstrate that GPSR-CB outperforms the compared protocols in terms of packet delivery ratio, network throughput, and power consumption.
