摘要

This article analyse the routing protocols associated with the integration of Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs) and Robotic Mobile Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks (RANETs) used in coordinated applications. FANETs are autonomous aerial vehicles that can communicate with each other without infrastructure, while RANET refers to an ad-hoc network comprising of mobile robots or autonomous vehicles equipped with wireless communication hardware. There is an emerging demand to increase the purview of FANET and RANET network for achieving more value added application in the field of space and defense applications. Integration of these two types of networks provides the opportunity for future applications in the field of upcoming space missions, maintenance of radioactive hazardous zone, rescue and search operations, unmanned defense operations etc. One of the main advantages of coordinated FANET-RANET communication is improved situational awareness and decision-making capabilities. These technologies have the potential to improve the efficiency and reliability by enabling real-time data analysis, efficient resource allocation, and intelligent decision-making. Integrating these two types of networks presents many technical and operational challenges, including mobility management, energy efficiency, interference management, and security. Different routing protocols have been suggested to tackle these issues, based on topology, underlying network architecture, energy, security, geographic position, as well as cross-layer design approaches. The integration of FANETs and RANETs is constrained by regulatory, technological, and economic factors. This paper offers valuable information on the present-day advancements in the field and underscores the significant research areas for the future advancement of coordinated FANET and RANET applications.
