Performance Analysis of Flying Ad Hoc Network with Different Antennas Using Ricean Fading

Abstract

Abstract

With regards to FANET, utilization of directional antenna can to a great extent decrease the radio interference, in this way enhancing the use of wireless medium and thus the system throughput. Execution of FANET is low under the omnidirectional antenna system contrasted with smart antenna system when Ricean fading model is utilized. Directional antenna covers huge zone and transmits extensive no. of packets, since it centers in the desired direction in accordance with mobility of nodes, while omnidirectional antenna covers little territory and transmits less number of packets when contrasted with smart antenna system (SAS). An effort has been made to illustrate the performance of the Ricean fading channel models by using QualNet simulator in terms of QoS parameters. In this paper, the performance of various parameters by using Smart Antenna System (SAS) is evaluated in FANET. The performance parameters include PDR, throughput, jitter, end to end delay and PLR in FANET with smart antenna system (SAS) and omnidirectional antenna system in different fading environments. Then the comparison of the parameters of omnidirectional antenna and directional antenna is done.
