Abstract
The combination of flying ad-hoc networks (FANETs) with fog computing appears to be a potential way to transform next-generation networking as technology advances. The synergy between fog computing and FANETs is examined in this chapter, along with their distinct qualities and the possible advantages and difficulties of integrating them. Fog computing enables real-time processing, lower latency, and increased efficiency by bringing networking, storage, and computing closer to the network’s edge. Conversely, a FANET is an autonomous, dynamic network of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that interact with one another in a decentralized fashion. By combining the strengths of fog computing and FANETs, new opportunities arise for applications requiring mobility, scalability, and distributed processing. This chapter delves into the technical aspects of integrating fog computing and FANETs, including communication protocols, resource management, and data processing strategies. It explores the challenges faced in achieving seamless integration, such as network connectivity, security, and coordination among UAVs. Moreover, it examines the potential applications and use cases where the fusion of fog computing and FANETs can bring significant advantages, such as disaster management, surveillance, precision ...
