Utilização de algoritmo de consenso para comunicação segura entre drones em FANETS com baixo custo computacional

Abstract

The development of vehicular networks has found a more fertile scenario with the advancement of ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC), deployment of fifth generation (5G) networks worldwide, empowerment of edge computing and adopting “Internet of Things” solutions in smart cities. To guarantee the success of these networks, it is essential to ensure that the communication process is reliable, safe from malicious actions, and that the solution has low computational complexity and energy consumption. Among vehicular networks that can take advantage of these new technologies are FANETs (Flying Ad-Hoc Networks), which can play a critical role in rescue missions and reconnaissance of risk areas. These networks need a solution that guarantees transparency, security and fault tolerance in a decentralised way to function correctly. Therefore, the present work proposes a proof-of-concept solution to ensure crash-fault tolerant communication in emulated heterogeneous Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs) using the Proof of Elapsed Time (PoET) consensus algorithm.
