Flying Ad-Hoc Network (FANET) is a set of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) interconnected wirelessly. FANETs self-organize and provide low-cost, adaptable, and simple-to-implement flying nodes, enabling them to complete complicated tasks more quickly and collectively. The high mobility of nodes and the highly dynamic topology pose challenges to communication design, particularly when creating a routing protocol for UAV networks; this has inspired researchers to contribute and develop this technology. Hierarchical routing technique known as clustering is necessary to offer scalability, survivability, and distribute payload among UAVs to maintain the performance. This study has proposed a comprehensive survey of the cluster-based routing protocols (CBRPs) in terms of their strengths, weaknesses, specific applications, method, number of nodes, and future improvements for serving FANETs. Moreover, 21 CBRPs based FANETs were reviewed in terms of their topology, challenges, scalability, characteristics, clustering strategy, outstanding features, cluster head (CH) selection, routing metrics, and performance measures.In addition, open issues that need to be addressed in future studies in the field of routing protocols for UAV networks were also debated.

This study addresses the challenges in large-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) clusters, specifically the scalability issues and limitations of using reactive routing protocols for inter-cluster routing. These traditional methods place an excessive burden on cluster heads and struggle to adapt to frequently changing topologies, leading to decreased network performance. To solve these problems, we propose an innovative inter-cluster routing protocol (ICRP), which is based on a hybrid ant colony algorithm. During the route establishment phase, ICRP uses this algorithm to identify the optimal relay node. This approach is inspired by the foraging behavior of Physarum polycephalum, combining factors such as the number of hops from the source node, the load condition of the node, and its weight in the pheromone calculation. In the route maintenance phase, ICRP uses a predictive repair and contraction mechanism to dynamically maintain routes, accommodating the high mobility of UAVs. Comparative simulations in OMNeT + + showed that this protocol surpasses ad-hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV), fuzzy-logic-assisted-AODV, and Enhanced-Ant-AODV routing protocols in packet delivery rate and end-to-end transmission delay. Furthermore, it showed superior adaptation to network environments with high-speed node mobility.
