A Comparative Study on Communication Architecture of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Security Analysis of False Data Dissemination Attacks

A vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) presents wireless communication with vehicles and vehicles to road side kit's. In VANET the frequent path failures, the high mobility, frequently disconnected topology and network traffic density which may affect the reliability of data transmission and routing. These problems are solved using the UAV supported VANET architecture having U2V/V2U communication. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), which can fly unconventionally or can be activated remotely without carrying any individual personnel. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been extensively used for several applications. Ad-hoc networking between UAVs (FANET- Flying Ad-hoc Networks) can crack the troubles happening from a fully infrastructure supported UAV networks [2]. This work presents various communication architectures based on various criteria. We have proposed decentralized multi-layer UAV ad-hoc network supported vehicular ad-hoc network architecture along with explore the system components. This work analyses and compares the various false data dissemination attacks and impact of those attacks on various architectures.
