Drones are becoming an essential part of future robotic systems, especially when many of them need to work together as a team. For these drone teams to operate smoothly, they need a strong and reliable way to communicate with each other. This thesis focuses on building a better communication system for drone networks, helping them share information more effectively—even when flying in dynamic environments without fixed infrastructure. To achieve this, the research introduces a smart, multi-layered framework that improves how drones connect and cooperate using Wi-Fi. It includes new models and protocols powered by advanced techniques, including Artificial Intelligence, to boost reliability before and during flight. The result is a more dependable and efficient drone communication network that can support a wide range of real-world uses—from search and rescue missions to delivery services and environmental monitoring.
