Copy Adaptive Routing Algorithm Based on Network Connectivity in Flying Ad Hoc Networks

Table 1

Summary of advantages and disadvantages of traditional multicopy routing.

Routing algorithm	Advantages	Disadvantages
Epidemic	No additional topology control information; high message delivery rate and low end-to-end delay	Network resource utilization and operating efficiency is low
Spray and wait	Reduction in the load on the network	The average delay of message transmission is increased
Spray and focus	The efficiency of the relay nodes is improved	It consumes network resources
Prophet	Higher average message transmission rate, lower communication load, and better average delay performance	Lack of message management mechanism
