Modeling Goodput for Data Transmission in FANET

Abstract

This paper investigates the process of multi-stream data transmission from several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to a ground station. We can observe a mathematical model of the data transfer process at the application level of the OSI model (from flying nodes to a ground station). The Poisson – Pareto packet process is used to describe the multi-stream data traffic. The results of simulation are obtained using the network simulator NS-3. It is considered a system for emulating the process of multi-stream data transmission from UAV to a ground station. Acording to the results of studies for multi-stream data transmission it is clear that the increase of the UAV source nodes which simultaneously transmit data to a ground station needs higher requirements for Goodput.
