M2M technologies for UAV-to-UAV communication

2021

Drones have gained huge popularity in the recent years, and with the huge increase

in usage and demand has brought open a new Ad-Hoc network specifically made for

drones. The existing Ad-Hoc networks, MANET and VANET, was shown to be unsuitable

for flying drones as the current Ad-Hoc network were not fitted for 3D spaces and

whereas only focused on the 2D plane.

This thesis will focus on the new Ad-Hoc network that specialises for drones, FANET.

FANET Ad-Hoc network focuses on the 3D plane and thus brought open other new

Routing Protocols. A design implementation with two drones will be presented in this

thesis as the proposed solution. The design will have wireless M2M communication

between the drones. The solution is able to achieve wireless communication through

WiFi network and able to transmit video to the client through the intermediate drone.
