Periodic online balancing method and device for unmanned aerial vehicle formation communication energy consumption

Abstract

The invention provides a periodic online equalization method and device for unmanned aerial vehicle formation communication energy consumption, and relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle communication. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a communication network of an unmanned aerial vehicle formation based on a three-dimensional formation needing to be formed by the unmanned aerial vehicle formation and initial energy of unmanned aerial vehicles; acquiring an information interaction topology of the unmanned aerial vehicle formation based on the communication network; sending the information interaction topology of the unmanned aerial vehicle formation to the unmanned aerial vehicles; when the real-time time difference between the flight time and the initial time of the unmanned aerial vehicle is greater than a preset scheduling period, obtaining the residual energy of each unmanned aerial vehicle, and judging whether the residual energy of each unmanned aerial vehicleis greater than the minimum energy for maintaining the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle or not; if the conditions are met, updating the information interaction topology of the unmanned aerial vehicle formation based on the current residual energy, and continuously circulating the process until the conditions are not met; and when the condition is not met, commanding the unmanned aerial vehicle to land. According to the invention, the workable time of the unmanned aerial vehicle formation during task execution can be prolonged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle communication, in particular to a periodic online equalization method and device for energy consumption of unmanned aerial vehicle formation communication. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology has been widely used in various fields, such as military, industry, environmental monitoring, medical and health care, and intelligent transportation. When using drones for work, controlling multiple drones to maintain a certain formation for flying work is the most important part. UAVs usually exchange information through point-to-point communication links to form a certain formation formation and maintain this formation formation to fly towards the target area. Among them, the communication link used is called the information interaction topology of UAV formation. [0003] UAVs are generally equipped with da...
