What is it about?

In the last few decades, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been in- troduced aiming to bring more comfort to human life by integrating smartness into daily objects, resulting in the idea of the smart city. Guaranteeing the well-being of residents and assessing industry and urban planning from an ecological and sustainable perspective are the main goals for the smart city. Great potentials are brought to the public and civil areas by the Aerial Ad Hoc Network (AANET) concept, especially in applications that are risky to human lives.

Why is it important?

This paper aims to introduce a classified survey of the existing researches that focus on the self-organization of AANET in smart cities, coupled with describing potential solutions and key research issues for designing and implementing UAVs in future self-organizing networks.

Perspectives

The importance of AANET implementation and civil applications in smart cities is an ever-growing aspect. Offering strong inter-UAV connectivity and robust links to the network users and ground stations is a challenging issue. In this paper, self-organization in AANET has been revised, ranging from showing an in-depth knowledge in explaining the new features of future networks to the existing remarkable standardization work and global projects. We have also emphasized the leading research projects that have been accomplished in this field and mentioned noticeable results that have been achieved so far.
