Abstract
In the bygone years, Drone or also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology has developed very quickly and has been vastly used in martial operations, medicinal rescue, ecological monitoring, and other fields. the programmability of Drone and self-leading are being the key point of future transportation and safety. Simultaneously, Software-Defined Networks (SDN) the upcoming widespread, trustworthy, and flexible networking for the future. The programmability and center control system of the SDN network It the most important features. that resource management and power-consuming is the main problem faced in the Drone environment. In this paper, we design a Drones network based on Software Defined Network (SDN) to solve these problems. moreover, simulation the proposed network in OMNET++ simulation tool. The proposed system was evaluated based on Throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Data Drop Rate, End to End Delay Time, Packet Losses, and Drone Power Consumption. The results show enhancement in network performance through the results obtained.
