Destination sequenced distance vector routing taking into account signal to noise for flying ad hoc network

Flying ad hoc networks (FANET) are becoming increasingly popular in both military and civilian applications. The primary characteristic of FANET is their high mobility, which results in a frequently changing topology. This is a significant challenge for protocols that control data transmission from nodes to base stations. Consequently, many research groups have recently been attracted to the study of data transmission control protocols in FANET, typically routing protocols. This paper presents an application of Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) routing protocols for FANET. We improved the DSDV routing protocol by considering the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when discovering new routes. Simulation results show that the improved DSDV algorithm outperforms the traditional DSDV algorithm in terms of network throughput, end-to-end delay, and SNR.
