Abstract

Abstract:

The Flying Ad Hoc Network (FANET) is a novel technology that enables unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to create self-governing wireless connections. However, UAVs deal with several obstacles, including limited power, frequent connection failures, high mobility, and short communication ranges. This entails developing an efficient and secure routing technique to ensure consistent message delivery from source to destination. This paper uses a new innovative approach called 3D Zone-based adaptive rectangle filtering (3D-ARF) combined with the responsive routing algorithm to enhance the routing efficiency and security in flying ad-hoc networks. The initial stage method confines the distribution of RRIQ (route request Inquiry) and RCF (route confirmation) packets within a designated 3D rectangular zone. 3D ARF includes a rectangle filtering process that supervises a relay node using metrics like speed and position to minimize the unwanted broadcast, reduce routing overhead and ensure stable route selection. Secondly, it safely transmits data while keeping a method as simple as possible. The results demonstrate that 3D-ARF significantly improves packet delivery rates, energy efficiency, drops packet and latency compared to AODV, making it particularly suitable for FANETs. Moreover, performance analysis reveals that 3D-ARF achieves a 96% accuracy rate in networks of varying sizes, outperforming DSR (85%) and DSDV (80%).
