Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of special communication technologies, and in particular to a method for real-time position adjustment of a relay drone used for ultra-short wave networking communications. Background Art
[0002] Ultra-short wave (UHF) communication radios not only feature a simple structure, high transmission stability, and minimal impact from seasonal and daytime fluctuations, but also facilitate frequency modulation and multi-channel communication, facilitating efficient, reliable, and secure communications. Therefore, leveraging the advantages of UHF communication technology, various models of UHF and UHF FM radios have been developed and deployed to army ground combat units worldwide, becoming the primary means of communication for ground combat personnel worldwide. Urban warfare is a typical battlefield for army ground combat units. Ground combat units are often divided into multiple combat teams, deployed in different streets or areas separated by blocks or tall buildings. Maintaining efficient, uninterrupted, and secure communications between combat teams, between forward and rear combat teams, and between combat teams and command posts is a fundamental requirement for urban operations. As a fundamental communication tool for ground combat units, UHF radios are designed for use in line-of-sight conditions. They often experience communication difficulties in obstructed urban environments. Even if two combat teams are in close proximity, effective communication may be impossible due to the obstruction of buildings. In order to improve communication effects and achieve effective communication between combat teams, it is beneficial for drones to establish relay communication nodes in the air, cross or avoid the obstruction or blockage of tall buildings in the city, and become an important choice for realizing urban ultra-short wave radio network communication.
[0003] Modern urban warfare is highly confrontational and random. Even if a careful combat plan is made before the war, it is still difficult to accurately predict the course of the battle and the specific locations of each combat team at different combat times due to the development and evolution of the enemy situation. The use of drones to establish aerial relay communication nodes faces great challenges.
[0004] In addition, if only a number of relatively fixed aerial relay communication nodes are built in the air, it will be difficult to adapt to the rapidly changing positions of combat teams, and efficient communication between combat teams and the entire combat unit cannot be guaranteed.

[0047] This invention determines whether relay communication nodes are needed between combat teams; if so, it adjusts the number and position of relay communication drones based on the distance between the combat teams. Designed for the complex battlefield environment of urban warfare, this method utilizes real-time adjustment of the positions of communication relay drones to achieve effective and stable information communication between combat teams without changing communication equipment, providing effective information support for command and combat operations. This method also enables real-time calculation and dynamic adjustment of drone positions, ensuring the stability and effectiveness of information communication.
[0048] Preferably, step 100 is to determine whether the combat team needs a relay communication node, referring to Figure 2 , 3, 4, including:

[0051] Step 113: If not, a relay communication node is required, and the number and position of relay communication drones are adjusted according to the distance between the combat teams.
[0052] Assume that the coordinate set of the ground buildings in the urban combat area is H = {H1(x H1 ,y H1 ,z H1 ),H2(x H2 ,y H2 ,z H2 ),…,H l (x Hl ,y Hl ,z Hl )}, the polyhedron formed is denoted as V 建筑 The effective communication distance of the ultra-short wave communication station is k kilometers, and the effective communication range is P i The area of the sphere with the center as the sphere and the radius k as the sphere, the communication range is recorded as V i (i∈N + ); there are m combat teams (including command posts), denoted as E i (i∈N + ), each combat group carries an ultra-short wave communication radio, and the position of the i-th combat group at time t is recorded as P i (i∈N + ), whose coordinate set is P={P1(x P1 ,y P1 ,z P1 ),P2(x P2 ,y P2 ,z P2 ),…,Pm (x Pm ,y Pm ,z Pm )}; There are n relay communication drones, denoted as E j (j∈N + ), the maximum vertical distance from the ground is less than k kilometers, and the position of the j-th relay communication UAV at time t is recorded as Q i (i∈N + ), whose coordinate set is Q={Q1(x Q1 ,y Q1 ,z Q1 ),Q2(x Q2 ,y Q2 ,z Q2 ),…,Q m (x Qn ,y Qn ,z Qn )}; The coordinate system used in this paper is the Gauss-Krüger plane rectangular coordinate system. Therefore, if the coordinates of each group are geographic coordinates, their coordinates must be converted first. The conversion model is as follows:

[0063] C=0.00001062451
[0064] D=0.00000002081

[0069] Calculate the height difference between the two groups. The height difference between any two groups is H. 小组高差 =|z Pa -z Pb |.
[0070] Calculate the height difference between the building and the lowest elevation group, when z a <z b When H 建低高差 =|z Hl -z Pa |; When z a >z b When H 建低高差 =|z Hl -z Pb |.
[0071] Calculate the distance between the building (building c, c∈i) and the group with the lowest altitude. a <z b hour, When z a >z b hour,
[0072] To judge the visibility, if and only if H 小组高差 / D 小组距离 ≥H 建低高差 / D 建低距离 When , the two groups can see each other, otherwise they cannot see each other.
[0073] Preferably, after determining whether the combat group is connected in step 111, the following steps are further included:
[0074] Step 112: If the combat teams are not connected, relay communication nodes are required, and the number and position of relay communication drones are adjusted according to the distance between the combat teams.
