Flying Ad hoc Network Expedited by DTN Scenario: Reliable and Cost-effective MAC Protocols Perspective

Flying Adhoc Network (FANET) is an emerging topic of research in the wireless network area, FANET has several common features with its predecessor e.g. Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) and Vehicle Adhoc Network (VANET), but the network has several unique features also which make it different from other networks. The sparseness of nodes, coupled with frequent changing of topology significantly affects the data transmission rate of the network. To overcome this problem, FANET can be assisted with Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) approach to exploit its mobility and routing features. The main aim of this work is to make Flying Adhoc Network reliable by deploying two MAC protocols i.e. IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.15 and realize the functionality of Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) in a FANET.
