Power Efficient Mathematical Model for UAV Communication Networks

The recent development in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) plays an imperative role in the field of wireless communication networks. These UAVs communicate with each other in the air for various substantial applications. However, after a certain duration, this network faces power issues due to inadequate power resources. Hence, a power-efficient mechanism is required for routing the information in UAV communication. However, in this research study, we propose a power-efficient mathematical model for UAV communication networks. By using a power-efficient mathematical model, the UAVs can determine the power information and route the data packets efficiently. The implementation has been carried out by using the simulator tool OPNET modeler. We have run the EPOLSR routing protocol, as well as the prevailing routing protocols OLSR using this model. The performance of the network has been significantly improved, and the results show that the EPOLSR outperforms OLSR, enhancing the lifetime and performance of UAVs' communication networks in terms of increased throughput and minimized delay by utilizing the proposed power-efficient mathematical model environment. Furthermore, the protocol EPOLSR was compared with OLSR, DSR, and AODV, and the results were observed. Consequently, EPOLSR outperforms OLSR, DSR, and AODV in terms of throughput and delay by utilizing a power-efficient mathematical model.
