“…In [10] the authors present the development of a virtual reality simulator for the management of a UAV, focused on improving the quality of life of grown-up people. The present research has collected characteristics of gestures and physical movements from users made by other related research in order to study the same interaction within a virtual world.…”

Unmanned aerial vehicles are devices able to perform many different tasks that can help human activity in many processes. One of the most important use regards the possibility of giving wireless connectivity to user in a specific area. These new typologies of networks are called Flying Adhoc Network. Their use benefit all those situations of emergency where the traditional communications may have many issues, due to the specific event. Different types of natural disasters (such as climatological, meteorological, hydrological, geophysical) can result in many deaths and many economic damages. In these situations, drones can provide an additional or complementary access network, supporting web services and multimedia traffic, helping people involved in the rescue. Hence, it is clear that the possibility of using a simulator can result in a huge help to the research community. So, in this work, a Flying Ad-hoc Network simulator is proposed, able to simulate different scenarios with different coverage areas. In particular, emphasis is given to new coverage and human mobility models, in order to support more realistic situations. Some simulations have been led out to show how the simulator works.

“…The works presented many coordination techniques both for monitoring the area and for coordinating the actions of the drones in the presence of parasites in order to analyze how the performance can significantly change if more constraints, such as energy, communication range, resource capacities, are accounted. In (Bustamante et al, 2017) the authors present the development of a virtual reality simulator for the management of a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), focused on improving the quality of grownup people. This research has collected characteristics of gestures and physical movements from users made by other related research in order to study the same interaction within a virtual world.…”

In this paper a simulator for the management of a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones has been proposed. This new network is known as Fly Ad-Hoc Network (FANET), and it is a particular type of Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) but with some specific aspects that allow to provide new services in future generation networks. One of the possible applications is emergency situations or scenario where drones can provide an additional or complementary access networks supporting web services and multimedia traffic. In this paper a simulator for FANET deploying has been proposed providing the possibility to simulate different scenarios with different coverage areas. New coverage model has been included in the features and also interesting human mobility model to support more realistic users mobility. Moreover, additional modules for traffic pattern generation have been implemented to create scenario where mobile users can activate multimedia calls and traffic on FANET. Some simulations have been led out to show how the simulator works.
