Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for selecting gateway nodes for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) base stations, and more particularly to a method for selecting gateway nodes for large-scale UAV base stations under an integrated space-ground network. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, leveraging the mobility, flexibility, and wide coverage of drone base stations to establish a large-scale drone base station network covering vast areas has become an important development direction for future 6G wireless communication networks. However, when drone base stations serve sparsely populated areas and there is a lack of nearby terrestrial cellular mobile communication base stations and wired communication lines, data backhaul from the drone base stations can become difficult.

[0003] Currently, drone base station data backhaul solutions mainly utilize terrestrial mobile communication base stations near the drone base station. However, this method has certain drawbacks. When the drone base station operates in remote or sparsely populated areas where no terrestrial mobile communication base stations are available, the drone base station will be unable to perform data backhaul.

[0004] Due to the large number of drone base stations and the varying hardware conditions of each drone base station, not every drone base station has the ability to communicate directly with low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems. On the other hand, even if each drone base station does have the ability to communicate directly with LEO satellite systems, using a scheme where each drone base station communicates directly with an LEO satellite system to achieve data backhaul would result in significant signaling overhead, leading to a decrease in the utilization rate of LEO satellite link wireless resources and an increase in the energy consumption of both the drone base station cluster and the LEO satellite system.

The method proposed in this invention addresses the issue of large-scale UAV base station data backhaul by utilizing a single gateway node to uniformly manage communication with low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems. This reduces the signaling overhead of LEO satellite systems and improves their wireless utilization. Setting up a single gateway node avoids direct communication between each UAV base station and the LEO satellite system, thus saving overall energy consumption of the UAV base station system.

[0057] 2. The method proposed in this invention considers the total number of hops and the total wireless propagation distance between the gateway node and other UAV base stations when selecting the gateway node. UAV base stations with fewer total hops and shorter wireless propagation distances are more likely to be selected as gateway nodes, thus reducing data backhaul latency and energy consumption.

[0058] 3. The method proposed in this invention sets a lower limit on the sustainable flight time of the drone base station when selecting the drone base station gateway node. The sustainable flight time of the selected gateway node drone base station must be higher than the average sustainable flight time of all drone base stations. This can prevent the selected drone base station from rapidly exiting service due to insufficient energy and from frequently changing gateway nodes.

[0059] 4. The method proposed in this invention sets up a dynamic update mechanism for the selected UAV base station gateway node after a certain period of time. This method adapts to the dynamic changes in the topology of large-scale UAV base stations on the one hand, and avoids a single UAV base station from acting as a gateway node for an extended period, which would cause rapid energy consumption and affect its network service time.
