Establishment of FANETs Using IoT-Based UAV and Its Issues Related to Mobility and Authentication

Abstract

The tremendous evolution of wireless communication as well as the drastic adoption of technology by the latest computing devices known to be IoT, makes it possible for emerging applications to providing ubiquitous services. This technique transformed the quality of present lifestyle of the people. When compared with all other technologies, the mobile adhoc networks become widely adapted in many fields because of the non-requirement of centralized infrastructure support. Adopting this nature, it became easy to establish networks like WSN and also form networks using IoT devices. As FANET (flying/fast adhoc network) is known for its mobility and instant formation of network with the help of available nodes within its communication range, there is a great challenge related to mobility and authenticity of the participating devices by exempting malicious nodes. FANETs incorporate unmanned aerial vehicles and drones as a part of their communication networks. In this chapter, deployment of IoT-based FANETs along with mobility and security is handled.
