In future, aerial vehicles can be merged with smart cities to enhance the interoperability among internet of things (IoT) devices. Routing protocols plays an important role when flying vehicles communicate with one another. Reinforcing connection in flying ad hoc networks using routing protocols is the optimal way to reduce end\u2010to\u2010end delay. However, utilizing flying networks with the deployment of routing techniques is a very difficult task to tackle the dynamic pattern of aerial vehicles. Internet of flying vehicles is the emerging area which is still in the evolutionary process; however, the interconnectivity can be efficiently formulated by applying security algorithms for improving signal power. In unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), every node will have some specific location, direction, speed, velocity, and acceleration which will identify and relate information about mobility model. This paper proposes a novel routing technique, which is the extension of AntHocNet due to mobile characteristics; it is termed as flying nature inspired algorithm. Also a case study is conducted to improve the signal power using modeled learning approach called decision tree. Experimental simulations are managed on network simulators that prove the proposed work efficiency.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/dac.4885","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,10]],"date-time":"2021-06-10T23:11:41Z","timestamp":1623366701000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Routing protocols &amp; unmanned aerial vehicles autonomous localization in flying networks"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Inam Ullah","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) Isra University, Islamabad Campus  Islamabad Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3340-1161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Syed Bilal Hussain","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Software Dalian University of Technology  Dalian China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Software Dalian University of Technology  Dalian China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/2.zoppoz.workers.dev:443\/https\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4658-1133","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Adnan","family":"Aziz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) Isra University, Islamabad Campus  Islamabad Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thompson","family":"Stephan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Engineering M.
