Abstract
In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic slot re-assignment scheme for swarming drone networks in which networks members merged and split frequently. The leader drone of each network recognizes the slot allocation information of neighbor networks by periodic information exchange among between the drones. Using the information, the leader drone makes a decision how to reallocate the slots between members in case of network merge. The non-competitive method in the proposed scheme can re-assign the slots without any slot collision and shows always superior performance than competitive scheme. The competitive method in the proposed scheme reduces the number of slots that should be re-assigned in case of network merge. The experimental performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme performs better or at least equal to the performance of the competitive scheme in a swarming drone network.
