Abstract :
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play more and more important roles in modern warfare. However, the data routing for communication among UAVs faces several challenges, such as packet loss or routing path failure etc. The main problem of UAVs data routing is caused by the high mobility of UAVs. In this paper, an effective geographic mobility prediction routing protocol is proposed to improve the performance of routing among UAVs. First, a Gaussian distribution of UAVs movement probability density function is deduced to reduce the impact of high mobility. Then, two-hop perimeter forwarding is proposed to reduce the impact of routing void. The experiment results show that the proposed approach can provide effective and reliable data routing with acceptable communication overhead in the highly dynamic environment of Ad Hoc UAV Network.
