Abstract : Wireless communication protocols play a crucial role in enabling adaptive video streaming for drones. This paper provides two taxonomies that categorize the commonly used wireless communication protocols in this context. The first taxonomy emphasizes HTTP-based adaptive streaming protocols, including Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) and HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), along with real-time streaming protocols such as Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) and Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP). It also covers transport protocols like User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), as well as wireless standards like IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi protocols and 4G LTE/5G NR. The second taxonomy expands on the first by introducing additional components, including cellular network protocols, Wi-Fi protocols, satellite communication protocols, point-to- point wireless protocols, mesh networking protocols, and hybrid communication approaches. These taxonomies offer a comprehensive understanding of the wireless communication protocols used by drones for adaptive video streaming, enabling researchers, developers, and practitioners to make informed decisions regarding protocol selection and optimization. By considering network conditions, coverage requirements, and application context, these taxonomies provide insights into building robust and efficient wireless connections for adaptive video streaming in drone applications.
