Today, the world is considered a global village. It is purely because communication and transportation have become easier. Earlier, we use the wired system of network for ways of communication that have evolved greatly in the past 30 years. There are many ways of communication available. Most common and vastly spread networks include Wi-Fi, WSN, MANETs, VANETs, and FANETs [1–4].

When last link of the communication network is wireless; it is called as a cellular network. The network is divided into different cells and by joining these cells to form a coverage area. With fixed trans-receivers, many portable devices can connect to each other.

The common networks for communication are Wi-Fi, WSN, MANETs, WANETs, and FANETs. Wi-Fi is the widely used wireless network that uses RF to transmit data with high speed internet [1–4]. There is wireless connection between receiver and sender: no limitation, ease of use, no cables for connection, secure internet connection, and robust performance.

WSN is wireless sensor nodes consist of sensors which are widely used in armed forces, malls, offices, and in our daily life to sense the temperature pressure, sounds, etc.

MANETs is an automatic network in which nodes are connected through wireless nodes. There is no base station. Mobile nodes, which act as router, are free to move. The major objective is scalability, reliability, and availability. Nodes can act as host and forward packets as well. Applications of MANETs are military tactical operations, search and rescue operation, search and rescue operation, and commercial use.

VANETs are formed similar to topology of MANETs. It is used for the transmission of information within vehicles and to road side communication. FANETs established in the air between the UAVs for transmission: traffic information, platooning, and road emergency services.

Mobility degree of FANETs is very high as compared to the MANETs and WANETs. In FANETs, we use nodes that are in flight. In FANETs, sensors are placed and every sensor has different data transfer methods, and there is fast change in topology. In FANETs, due to high node density during transmission, topology changes more frequently the other networks.
