Abstract

Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) are multi-hop, autonomous, highly dynamic Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) composed of swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The high dynamics and instability of FANETs render communication nodes vulnerable to failure, attacks, and deception, posing significant challenges to reliable communication within these networks. Consequently, we design a topology-aware secure routing protocol, Perception-AODV (P-AODV), to enhance network security. Initially, we develop a communication model for wireless self-organizing networks, examining the impact of failed nodes on network stability. Addressing the network's inherent dynamics and the reconfiguration post-failure, we consider factors such as communication networks, spatial positioning, and energy constraints. By integrating a stable node-based ETX link evaluation approach with a method for calculating link effective generation time, we propose a multi-routing metric-based link selection strategy. Simulation experimental results show that our proposed P-AODV protocol has a higher packet delivery rate than existing methods.
