Software-defined drone cluster network controller design method

Abstract

The invention discloses a software-defined drone cluster network control method, comprising the following steps: firstly dividing the SDN control domain according to the mission requirement and coverage area of the UAV, sorting the nodes with the neighbor densities and the connection distance values respectively by calculating the neighbor density and connection distance of each node, adding the sort numbers to obtain a total sort number of the nodes, obtaining an area vertex set according to the total sort number value, dividing the network nodes into a plurality of SDN control domains according to the principle of shortest area vertex distance, then centrally controlling the cluster network at the ground control station and the SDN controller deployed in the SDN domain, and performing functions such as task monitoring, conflict management, relay management, data forwarding, and route calculation by the software-based controller, so that the deployment of the controller can be flexibly adaptive to the change of the network topology, which facilitates flexible management of local network devices, reduces UAV network device complexity and communication delay, and enables stable interconnection of UAV nodes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle networks, and relates to a method for improving the communication reliability of an unmanned aerial vehicle cluster network. Background technique [0002] In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been developed rapidly in military and civilian aspects due to its advantages of small size, strong mobility and low cost. Surveillance, emergency search and rescue, etc. However, a single UAV has disadvantages such as weak invulnerability and limited coverage. These factors lead to low communication reliability of a single UAV. These problems can be effectively solved by combining multiple UAVs into a cluster cooperative communication system, sharing network resources, cooperating with each other, and jointly completing corresponding communication tasks. [0003] Since the UAV swarm communication system includes multiple UAV platforms that cooperate with each other, when some UAVs in th...
