地空上行链路UAV航向优化

Optimization of UAV Heading for the Ground-to-Air Uplink

Feng Jiang, A. Lee Swindlehurst

摘要:

在本文中,我们考虑了一组单天线地面节点与多天线无人机(UAV)通过多址地对空无线通信链路进行通信。UAV使用波束形成来减轻用户间干扰并实现空分多址(SDMA)。首先,我们考虑了一个简单的场景,两个静态的地面节点和分析调查的无人机航向对系统的和速率的影响。然后,我们研究了一个更一般的设置与多个移动地面终端,并开发了一种算法,用于动态调整无人机的航向,以最大限度地提高上行链路信道的遍历和速率的下限,使用卡尔曼滤波器跟踪移动地面节点的位置。用户之间的公平性可以通过用与其平均数据率成反比的因子对每个用户的遍历率的界限进行加权来保证。对于常见的情况下,一个高$K$ -因素的信道存在于地面节点和无人机之间,我们使用的渐近分析,以找到简化版本的算法,低和高信噪比。我们目前的仿真结果表明,适应无人机航向,以优化上行链路通信性能的好处。仿真结果也表明,简化算法执行近最优性能。

英文摘要:

In this paper we consider a collection of single-antenna ground nodes communicating with a multi-antenna unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) over a multiple-access ground-to-air wireless communications link. The UAV uses beamforming to mitigate the inter-user interference and achieve spatial division multiple access (SDMA). First, we consider a simple scenario with two static ground nodes and analytically investigate the effect of the UAV heading on the system sum rate. We then study a more general setting with multiple mobile ground-based terminals, and develop an algorithm for dynamically adjusting the UAV heading in order to maximize a lower bound on the ergodic sum rate of the uplink channel, using a Kalman filter to track the positions of the mobile ground nodes. Fairness among the users can be guaranteed through weighting the bound for each user's ergodic rate with a factor inversely proportional to their average data rate. For the common scenario where a high $K$-factor channel exists between the ground nodes and UAV, we use an asymptotic analysis to find simplified versions of the algorithm for low and high SNR. We present simulation results that demonstrate the benefits of adapting the UAV heading in order to optimize the uplink communications performance. The simulation results also show that the simplified algorithms perform near-optimal performance.
