Abstract


The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is growing increasingly across many civil benefits, including real-time monitoring, medical emergencies, surveillance, and defence. Many different types of UAVs are being developed to meet the demands of diverse users. Therefore, the research areas in the UAV domain are evolving as the types and number of UAVs increase. UAV’s faces numerous problems in channel accessing, radio allotment, latency and most of these issues are because of the ineffective MAC protocols, moreover MAC is also important because it affects not only the system performance but also the energy efficiency in battery-powered sensor nodes. In this research article various Medium access control (MAC) protocols discussed and qualitatively compared on the basis of various Quality-of-Service (QoS) parameters.
