A Typical Analysis of Flying Ad-Hoc Network Applications in Agriculture and Irrigation System
With the speedy technological enhancement and decrementin man power, technologies are being involved in everyphase of our life and their proper application leads to ahealthy life indeed. Agriculture and irrigation are sources ofman’s potential. Different sensors and electronicsequipment are deployed to commercialize in market andmaintaining the cost effectiveness in several domains. Forthe sake of cost effectiveness and the betterment ofagricultural professionals, UAVs (unmanned aerialvehicles) can be deployed for surveillance, utilization ofpesticides and insecticides and detection of bioprocessingerrors. Single mode and multi-mode UAV system both aresuitable for application of FANET. With the propercollaboration and coordination of the clusters of UAVsforming a network, linked with a ground infrastructure,GCS or satellite will exceed the competences of singleUAV system. However, one of the vital design issuesFANETs deal with is in selecting the accurate routingprotocol which is prerequisite for the creation of FANET. Inthis paper we will discuss about the routing protocols ofFANET in different platforms and different strategicmanners. The open research challenges will be discussedand possible solutions will be attempted to be drawn fromconclusion. The main contribution lies in the suggesting themost suitable routing protocol for each particular agricultureapplication based on the mobility model and requirement.
