“…For this reason, the single TDMA channel is aimed to use with AANET instead of CSMA in [140], [141]. The Interferencebased Distributed TDMA Algorithm (IDTA) is also proposed for AANET to diminish the problems of basic TDMA [142]. It can run both the sender and receiver of a link to reduce the computational load of the receiver node, but it observes the delay problems.…”

The aeronautical networks attract the attention of both industry and academia since Internet access during flights turns to the crucial demand from luxury with the evolving technology. This In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) necessity is currently dominated by the satellite connectivity and Air-to-Ground (A2G) network solutions. However, the high installation/equipment cost and latency of the satellite connectivity reduce its efficiency. The A2G networks are utilized through the 4G/5G ground stations deployed on terrestrial areas to solve these satellites' problems. This terrestrial deployment reduces the coverage area of A2G networks, especially for remote flights over the ocean. The Aeronautical Ad-hoc Networks (AANETs) are designed to provide IFC while solving the primary defects of dominating solutions. The AANET is an entirely novel solution under the vehicular networks since it consists of aircraft with ultra-dynamic and unstructured characteristics. These characteristics separate it from the less dynamic Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs). Therefore, the environmental and mobility effects cause specific challenges for AANETs. This article presents a holistic review of these open AANET challenges by investigating them in data link, network, and transport layers. Before giving the details of these challenges, this article explores the state-of-the-art literature about satellite and A2G networks for IFC. We then give our specific interest to the AANET by investigating its particular characteristics and open research challenges. The main starting point of this study is that there is a lack of compact research on this exciting topic, although IFC is an inevitable need for the aeronautical industry. Also, the AANET could be underlined by giving all state-ofthe-art about the dominating IFC solutions. Therefore, this is the first work exploring the state-of-the-art for all the existing aeronautical networking technologies under a single comprehensive survey by deeply analyzing specific characteristics and open research challenges of AANETs. Additionally, the AANET is a novel topic and should be separately investigated from the FANETs as given in current literature.

“…It can influence the reliability and effectiveness of information transmissions and system throughput directly. Currently, the most widely used existing MAC protocols in FANET are IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) protocol [10][11][12][13][14], and time division multiple access (TDMA) protocol [15][16][17][18][19]. The IEEE 802.11 DCF adopts RTS/CTS frames to reserve channel resources in order to avoid collisions.…”

Flying ad hoc network (FANET) is a promising and special mobile Ad hoc network, connecting large number of flying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on battlefield through wireless link. Designing a multi-priority traffic differentiated medium access control (MAC) protocol with low delay, large capacity, high flexibility, and strong scalability is a great challenge in the researches and applications of FANETs. In order to overcome the disadvantages in IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function (DCF) and time division multiple access (TDMA) protocols, a novel multi-channel load awareness-based MAC protocol for FANETs is presented in this paper. The multi-priority queueing and service mechanism, and the multi-channel load-based backoff mechanism involved in the protocol are intensively described. We further model the multi-priority queueing and service mechanism by the multi-class queueing theory, and model the backoff mechanism using the Markov chain model. Simulation results show that the protocol can differentiate services for different priorities in FANETs according to real-time channel state, providing effective QoS guarantee for transmissions of various information, and the network bandwidth resource is efficiently utilized.
