Abstract
Aerial networking has been the subject of growing research with the rising possibility of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones being used in a broad variety of contexts and a broad range of environments. One of the important problems has been perceived as that of routing for internal communication within a platoon of drones, in the face of time-varying and a large range of possible positioning of various drones within a platoon. Single-route approaches, whether proactive or reactive, are susceptible to voids, as well as dynamic topology variation. Drawing on previous work, we investigate the applicability of geodiffuse pathsets, a type of geographic routing, in the aerial context. In this paper, we first study simply extending the idea to the three-dimensional context in a straightforward way. Then, we introduce a variant that may provide a potentially better alternative to the original algorithm for a combination of fast-changing platoon topologies and bulk data transfer. Our results from this initial investigation confirm that our approach is a promising one for further study and application in drone platoon networking.

Efficient geographic routing in multihop wireless networks
MobiHoc '05: Proceedings of the 6th ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking and computingWe propose a new link metric called normalized advance (NADV) for geographic routing in multihop wireless networks.
