This document discusses unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks. It notes that UAV networks require routing protocols that are adaptive to frequent changes in topology. The key issues with UAV networks are the changing topologies as UAV positions change and intermittent link nature. UAV networks are also constrained by frequent link breakages, prone to malfunctions, high power requirements, and susceptibility to environmental factors like wind and rain. The document explores star and mesh topologies for UAV networks and their advantages like reliability, survivability, and efficiency.
