  Abstract

Recently, flying ad hoc network (FANET) using drone-like vehicles has been attracting attention. In particular, research on multi-drone-based FANET that supports service by grouping multi-drones rather than single drone is actively performed. The multi-drones-based FANETs can broaden service coverage through multi-hop and, in the event of specific drone failure, other drones can replace the mission to support reliable services. In this multi-drone-based FANET, the most important thing is that all drones must be connected to ground controls system (GCS) directly or through multi-hop. However, if the connection is cut off due to the drones" mobility, the problems of isolating drones and network disconnection may arise. In this paper, we propose a technique to enable drone to recognize link disconnection quickly and to recover the network in the multi-drone based FANET environment. The proposed technique uses hop count information from GCS to identify whether the drones are disconnected by themselves, and if the disconnection is confirmed through the disconnection step, the network is restored by the proposed self recovery algorithm. The performance is simulated and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through the results.
