Enhancing connectivity for communication and control in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle networks

Wireless connectivity for communication and control in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) networks is very critical to accomplish an assigned task such as monitoring a given area. Because of dynamic mobility of UAVs, robust adaptive wireless connectivity for UAVs is crucial. In this paper, we analyze the connectivity for UAV networks that is based on density of UAVs, velocity of UAVs, angle of arrival, and transmission range used by UAVs. We evaluate the performance of the proposed approach using numerical results obtained from simulations.
