A Routing Optimization Method Based on ACA for FANETs

    Routing algorithm is an important factor and a key technology for Flying Ad hoc Networks (FANETs), which can safeguard FANET network communication. In FANETs, the fast-changing nature of FANET network topology makes the traditional Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) network routing algorithm not directly usable, which leads to challenges for the design of routing algorithms. In this paper, when the FANET nodes need to communicate, the route search program performs route search based on the ant colony algorithm, so as to obtain a stable route with high efficiency. Making use of NS3 for simulation of ACA, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV), the results of simulation show that ACA can improve FANET performance.
