  Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel TDMA-based MAC protocol for ensuring the transmission of safety messages between the drones in swarming drone networks. In general, large-scale swarming drones tend to have a higher density compared to unmanned aerial vehicles or autonomous vehicular networks. Therefore, in order to avoid a collision, it is very important for each drone to successfully share their location information with others. The proposed scheme guarantees an opportunity of data transmission to the drones by occupying time slots through competition. It also gives priority to the drone which has occupied a slot in the previous frame to ensure the safety message transmission. The proposed scheme is implemented and evaluated by using NS-3 simulator and we confirmed that the proposed scheme can recover from the message collision problem faster than the existing WAVE protocol, with the high packet reception ratio.
