摘要：UAV Communication Networks (UAVCN) comes under the umbrella of Ad hoc Network technology. It has the critical differences with existing wireless networks, which are high mobility, high speed, dynamic updates, and changes in topology due to high movement, which creates the problem of link breakages and affects the routing performance. This problem degrades the performance of UAVCN in terms; it decreases throughput and minimizes the packet delivery ratio. In this paper, we have tried to overcome this problem by considering the received signal power strength (RSPS). We have proposed an algorithm which uses the received signal power strength and time and calculates the link breakage time prediction by using the interpolation method. We have implemented the proposed technique by modifying the OLSR protocol. The extended protocol termed EPOLSR, which efficiently using the signal power strength and time and increasing the performance of UAVCN. The extended protocol implemented by using a research tool network simulator (v3). The metrics received rate, no of received packets, throughput, and packet delivery ratio (PDR) is considered for evaluation. We have examined the proposed EPOLSR with existing routing protocols. It has been observed that the modified protocol performs better concerning all existing evaluated routing approaches.
