The communication network is a fundamental component of a multi-UAV system. It enables exchanges in command and control messages and allows remotely sensed mission data to be sent to processing centers. Proper control of the network, the topic of this chapter, is critical for the system to function properly. Following a brief overview, Sect. 66.2 lists some of the main challenges in network communication control. Next, Sect. 66.3 provides background discussion in wireless networking including system architecture, wireless channel performance, topology models, and information routing. Bounds and limitations in cooperative control and decision making because of network limitations are provided in Sect. 66.4. Next, the chapter provides several network control strategies for multi-UAV systems. First, Sect. 66.5 presents motion planning methods to control the topology, and second, Sect. 66.6 describes relay deployment techniques to extend the performance of the network. Finally, Sect. 66.7 provides some closing remarks and directs the reader to further literature on this topic.
