The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to collect data from the sensor nodes in wireless sensor network has attracted many researchers as this gives energy efficiency data gathering solution. The mobility of the UAV challenges the reliability of the network as the link connection time between the sensor and mobile UAV is less. Opportunistic routing offers to provide reliability in such scenarios. This paper proposes multi hop HVOR protocol which works along with ANOR protocol to provide reliable data transfer in the network. The proposed work has been compared with the existing single hop HVOR protocol based on the end to end delay, routing overhead, packet delivery ratio and throughput of the network. These parameters show an improved performance and validate the outperformance of the proposed system.
