Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) applications have increased in popularity in recent years because of their ability to incorporate a wide variety of sensors while retaining cheap operating costs, easy deployment, and excellent mobility. However, controlling UAVs remotely in complex environments limits the capability of the UAVs and decreases the efficiency of the whole system. Therefore, many researchers are working on autonomous UAV navigation where UAVs can move and perform the assigned tasks based on their surroundings. With recent technological advancements, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) has proliferated. Autonomous UAV navigation is an example of an application in which AI plays a critical role in providing fundamental human control characteristics. Thus, many researchers have adopted different AI approaches to make autonomous UAV navigation more efficient. This paper comprehensively surveys and categorizes several AI approaches for autonomous UAV navigation implicated by several researchers. Different AI approaches comprise mathematical-based optimization and model-based learning approaches. The fundamentals, working principles, and main features of the different optimization-based and learningbased approaches are discussed in this paper. In addition, the characteristics, types, navigation models, and applications of UAVs are highlighted to make AI implementation understandable. Finally, the open research directions are discussed to provide researchers with clear and direct insights for further research.

“…The survey investigating the concepts, architecture, applications, routing, simulators, and challenges of the FANETs is also given in [21]. Different from the above-explained works, the existing MAC protocols for FANETs are analyzed in [22]. This work investigates and compares the design issues, operational principles, advantages, and limitations of the current MAC protocols for FANETs.…”

The aeronautical networks attract the attention of both industry and academia since Internet access during flights turns to the crucial demand from luxury with the evolving technology. This In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) necessity is currently dominated by the satellite connectivity and Air-to-Ground (A2G) network solutions. However, the high installation/equipment cost and latency of the satellite connectivity reduce its efficiency. The A2G networks are utilized through the 4G/5G ground stations deployed on terrestrial areas to solve these satellites' problems. This terrestrial deployment reduces the coverage area of A2G networks, especially for remote flights over the ocean. The Aeronautical Ad-hoc Networks (AANETs) are designed to provide IFC while solving the primary defects of dominating solutions. The AANET is an entirely novel solution under the vehicular networks since it consists of aircraft with ultra-dynamic and unstructured characteristics. These characteristics separate it from the less dynamic Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs). Therefore, the environmental and mobility effects cause specific challenges for AANETs. This article presents a holistic review of these open AANET challenges by investigating them in data link, network, and transport layers. Before giving the details of these challenges, this article explores the state-of-the-art literature about satellite and A2G networks for IFC. We then give our specific interest to the AANET by investigating its particular characteristics and open research challenges. The main starting point of this study is that there is a lack of compact research on this exciting topic, although IFC is an inevitable need for the aeronautical industry. Also, the AANET could be underlined by giving all state-ofthe-art about the dominating IFC solutions. Therefore, this is the first work exploring the state-of-the-art for all the existing aeronautical networking technologies under a single comprehensive survey by deeply analyzing specific characteristics and open research challenges of AANETs. Additionally, the AANET is a novel topic and should be separately investigated from the FANETs as given in current literature.

This paper proposes an evolved wireless ad hoc network (WANET) in which user equipment (UE) can manage radio resources by itself without the control by infrastructure. There are two independent channels in the proposed WANET, one is a data channel, the other is a tone channel for resource management. UEs allocate, occupy, and return resources by using tones in the tone channel. Although UEs do not exchange channel information with each other, they are able to occupy a clear one-hop area without a hidden node problem by setting the data communication area and the tone communication area differently. A UE occupying a resource performs a real time collision check on the occupied resource, and if a collision is detected, it is able to re-occupy a resource without collision. In this paper, we present the operating principle of the proposed WANET, and design its communication area, and analyze the average resource occupation time. Since the proposed WANET operates in a general communication environment that is not limited to special assumptions, it supports periodic and aperiodic communication and broadcast links and unicast links without hidden node problem, and could be utilized to various communication fields such as drones, vehicles, ships, and smartphones.INDEX TERMS Ad hoc networks, hidden node, medium access control, packet collision resolution.
