Drones have been recently an interesting subject of research due to their roles in accomplishing missions. Flying in a formation fleet, they form a cooperative communication system in order to improve the efficiency of the mission. For this reason, the reliability of the communication is essential to guarantee the overall performance of the fleet although the link conditions, the external factors and the hardware failures of a drone. The drones capture several images or videos of the geographical area of the mission and send them to other drones in the fleet or to the Ground Station Control (GSC). The importance is to ensure that all the data transmitted is received. In this article, we aim to improve the robustness of a protocol that serves to send data a certain number of attempts in order to be 99% surely that the data is well received.
