Abstract

The invention discloses a three-dimensional UPF beam tracking method for a millimeter wave communication platform of an unmanned aerial vehicle, and belongs to the technical field of wireless communication. The three-dimensional UPF beam tracking method comprises the following steps: firstly, establishing a suggested density function by using a UKF algorithm, and updating sampling particles; secondly, calculating the weight of each particle and normalizing the weight; thirdly, re-sampling the particles to weaken the particle weakening phenomenon; and finally, calculating a particle mean value to obtain a filtered phase. According to the UPF beam tracking method, aiming at an unmanned aerial vehicle millimeter wave communication scene, an unscented Kalman particle filtering technology is adopted, three-dimensional millimeter wave beam real-time alignment is realized, and the accuracy of beam tracking is improved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless communication, and in particular relates to a three-dimensional UPF beam tracking method for a millimeter wave communication platform of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background technique

[0002] Due to its high mobility, flexible networking, and low cost, UAVs are widely used in various fields, including reconnaissance, transportation, infrastructure inspection, agricultural irrigation, and disaster relief. In order to realize the high-speed data transmission requirements in the execution of these tasks, mmWave communication technology is required. Since the millimeter wave frequency band has higher path loss, beamforming technology is usually used in the millimeter wave communication system to compensate. In order to ensure good communication performance, the transmitting and receiving ends must ensure that the beams match each other. However, when the transmitter / receiver is a UAV platform, t...
