A Comprehensive Survey in Towards to Future FANETs

The growing use of UAVs in the last years, has showed that is possible to use them like communication data network in several areas. Such network formed by UAVs is known in the literature as Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANET). This kind of network has attracted, recently, attention of the research community, showing a promising future. This paper consists in a survey presenting to the reader concepts, architecture, applications, routing, simulators and possible integration among FANET and other technologies as well as challenges to be faced in the FANETs.
