Routing protocols strategies for flying Ad-Hoc network (FANET): Review, taxonomy, and open research issues

A Flying Ad Hoc Network (FANET) is a self-organizing wireless network comprised of clusters of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones that communicate while nearby. FANETs are increasingly used in a variety of applications, including smart ports, delivery of products, construction, monitoring of...
