What specific communication protocols are used for inter-robot communication in a cooperative swarm?

In a cooperative swarm of robots, what communication protocols do they actually use to talk to each other? Are there standard methods, or does it vary a lot by application?

Common protocols include standard wireless technologies like Wi-Fi (using TCP/IP stacks) or Bluetooth Low Energy for structured communication. For more decentralized and robust swarms, custom protocols built on low-power radio standards (IEEE 802.15.4) are often used. Research also explores bio-inspired emergent communication strategies. The choice depends on required range, data rate, power constraints, and swarm size.
