Performance Analysis of AeroRP with Ground Station Updates in Highly-Dynamic Airborne Telemetry Networks

Abstract

Highly dynamic airborne telemetry networks pose unique challenges for data transmission. Domain-specific multi-hop routing protocols are necessary to cope with these challenges and AeroRP is one such protocol. In this paper, we discuss the operation of various AeroRP modes and analyze their performance using the ns-3 network simulator. We compare the performance of beacon, beaconless, and ground station (GS) modes of AeroRP. The simulation results show the advantages of having a domain-specific routing protocol and also highlight the importance of ground station updates in discovering routes.
