Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based technologies are suitable for many civil and military application. In case of the occurrence of some natural disasters such as storms, the infrastructure of the communication system plays a vital role in offering rescue services. In such situations, energy and distance limitations can affect the operations of the UAVs and change the efficiency of the UAV network. To overcome intermittent connectivity and unstable links in this highly dynamic topology, a resilient UAV network is needed. In this paper, the communications infrastructure of a multi-UAV network is investigated in term of availability and survivability factors. We utilize the selected path in the multi-level multi-UAV network to avoid problems associated to interference, link failures, energy constrains, and routing. We present a distributed approach, namely: Survivable Communication Game based Approach (SCGA). SCGA works based on a cooperative communication between UAVs to guarantee a reliable data transmission using the best path. First, we build the utility of our approach based on the achievable rate, transmission delay, and energy consumption. Next, we formulate the interactions between UAVs based on a game framework approach. last, we conduct an extensive simulation using different communication scenarios to investigate the performance of the SCGA in terms of survivability, scalability, and reliability. In addition, the communication links and the connectivity between UAVs are tested using different performance metrics. Moreover, we compare SCGA against both of Nearest Neighbor (NN) and Nash Network Formation (NNF) schemes. The simulation results show that SCGA outperforms both of NN and NNF schemes in terms survivability, scalability, and reliability.

基于无人机（UAV）的技术适用于许多民用和军事应用。在发生诸如风暴之类的自然灾害的情况下，通信系统的基础设施在提供救援服务中起着至关重要的作用。在这种情况下，能量和距离限制会影响无人机的运行并改变无人机网络的效率。为了克服这种高度动态拓扑中的间歇性连接和不稳定的链路，需要有弹性的无人机网络。在本文中，从可用性和可生存性方面研究了多无人机网络的通信基础设施。我们利用多级多UAV网络中的选定路径来避免与干扰，链路故障，能量约束和路由相关的问题。我们提出一种分布式方法，即：基于生存通信博弈的方法（SCGA）。SCGA基于无人机之间的协作通信来工作，以确保使用最佳路径进行可靠的数据传输。首先，我们基于可达到的速率，传输延迟和能耗来构建方法的实用性。接下来，我们基于游戏框架方法制定无人机之间的交互关系。最后，我们使用不同的通信场景进行了广泛的仿真，以从生存性，可伸缩性和可靠性方面研究SCGA的性能。另外，使用不同的性能指标测试了无人机之间的通信链路和连接性。此外，我们将SCGA与最近邻（NN）和纳什网络形成（NNF）方案进行了比较。
