Multimedia Traffic Management in FANET under Human Mobility Scenarios

In this paper, a modified Link-State routing able to update drones' link status on a periodical basis or on a triggered by user mobility is presented to timely modify the topology graph and to dynamically re-route current and incoming calls on the path with more residual available bandwidth. A modified version of Ford-Fulkerson algorithm is proposed to compute the path with better residual capacity where to send the multimedia traffic between source and destination drones. A simple mobility prediction scheme is also integrated in the drones' features to fast the route precomputation during users' movement to prevent and reduce packet dropping.
