Research Notes

MANETs

An RFC that is remarkably prescient. Written by J. Macker at the Naval Research Laboratory which developed EMANE (Extendable Mobile Ad-Hoc Networking).

FANETs

Here is a variation of OLSR developed explicitly for drones. Simulation over large drone networks was done with EMANE. Experiment with two senseFly drones. Edge costs use a variation of ETX. Written by Dario Floreano and Bixio Rimoldi (an information theorist!) at EPFL. Both have additional stuff on networking for flying drones. Dario has a paper in nature about flying drones.

The ETX paper written by some guys at MIT references Nitin Vaidya, Anthony Ephremides, Yih-Chun Hu, and Charlie Perkins. Worth taking a look at.

Dynamic Source Routing (not distance-vector or link-state).
