The Internet of Things (IoT) and Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) have become hot topics among researchers because of the increased availability of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and the electronic components required to control and connect them (e.g., microcontrollers, single board computers, and radios). LoRa is a wireless technology, intended for the IoT, that requires low power and provides long-range communications, which can be useful for ground and aerial applications. This paper explores the role that LoRa plays in FANET design by presenting a technical overview of both, and by performing a systematic literature review based on a breakdown of the communications, mobility and energy topics involved in a FANET implementation. Furthermore, open issues in protocol design are discussed, as well as other challenges associated with the use of LoRa in the deployment of FANETs.
物联网 (IoT) 和飞行动态自组织网络 (FANET) 由于无人机 (UAV) 的可用性增加以及控制和连接它们所需的电子元件 (例如微控制器、单板计算机和无线电) 成为研究人员的热门话题。LoRa 是一种无线技术，旨在用于物联网，它需要低功耗并提供远程通信，这对于地面和空中应用非常有用。本文通过介绍这两种技术的技术概述，并根据涉及 FANET 实现的通信、移动性和能量主题进行系统文献综述，探讨了 LoRa 在 FANET 设计中的作用。此外，还讨论了协议设计中的开放问题，以及与在 FANET 部署中使用 LoRa 相关的其他挑战。
