Abstract

Flying Ad hoc network(FANET) are widely used for network communication services in situations such as military, emergency disaster relief and environmental monitoring, and good routing protocols can provide reliable transmission in scena-rios with harsh communication conditions. Using reinforcement learning to describe routing as a Markov decision process for routing decisions has become a hot research topic. In order to further introduce and dig into the current state of research on FANET routing protocols based on reinforcement learning, this paper firstly introduced some improvements on FANET traditional routing protocols in recent years. Secondly, it provided a detailed introduction on the latest research results on the research of FANET routing protocols based on reinforcement learning. At the same time, this paper deeply explored the modeling laws of state, action and reward in reinforcement learning-based routing research algorithms, and compared them in terms of routing optimization criteria and reinforcement learning optimization process. Finally, it presented a summary and outlook based on the current research status of reinforcement learning based FANET routing protocols.
