Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] As Figure 1 shown, the technical solution of the present invention provides a method for dynamically evaluating the status of wireless communication links between ships, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0043] Step 1: Analyze the characteristic quantities affecting the status of wireless communication links, and construct a database of characteristic quantities of wireless communication link status. The correspondence between the characteristic quantities and the information sources is shown in Table 1:

[0048] 2: Based on the parsing and processing results of multi-source (control device, detection and sensing device, satellite positioning device, navigation device, communication device) information, extract the characteristic quantities of communication objects (identity information, position information, networking information, link status information). The information sources of the feature vectors include:

[0049] The sources of communication object identity information include: extraction and generation from communication plan information, parsing and obtaining of information received by shipborne satellite navigation equipment, and parsing and obtaining of information received by wireless communication links;

[0053] The source of meteorological information (rainfall): detection and acquisition by shipborne meteorological sensors, and parsing and obtaining of information received by wireless communication links;

[0054] The antenna height information of the communication object and the own ship: design value.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, based on the processing results of parsing and extracting multi-source information, the real-time position of the marine communication object is confirmed, and the process of correlating the communication object identity information and position information is as Figure 2 shown:

[0056] Step 2.1: Receive the external communication plan information message in real time through the wireless link, parse the message according to the wireless link information transmission protocol format, and extract the communication object identity information and communication network information feature quantities in the message. Among them, the identity information includes the task number, platform number, network number, information source number, and platform type, and the communication network information includes the network type and the number of network members;

[0057] Step 2.2: If there is no external communication plan information, generate the communication plan information formulated by the shipborne control system, and extract the communication object information and communication network information feature quantities in the communication plan. Among them, the communication object information includes the task number, platform number, network number, information source number, and platform type, and the communication network information includes the network type and the number of network members;

[0058] Step 2.3: The shipborne satellite navigation and positioning equipment receives and parses the identity, position, and motion element information messages of the marine ship, and the calculation module extracts the communication object platform number, platform type, information source code, communication object position information (longitude, latitude), positioning time, communication object course, and speed feature quantities.

[0059] Step 2.4: Real-time detect and generate information such as the position and motion elements of the marine target through the shipborne detection sensor equipment, and extract the target type, target course, speed, distance between the target and the own ship, and azimuth feature quantities;

[0060] Step 2.5: Conduct link establishment communication for the wireless communication device according to the communication plan, confirm the identity and location information of the communication object, check and correlate with the target location and identity information generated by the satellite navigation and positioning device and the detection and sensing sensor, and determine the real-time location of the communication object;

[0061] Step 2.6: Synchronously receive and analyze the longitude, latitude, speed, and course characteristic quantities of the ship generated by the inertial navigation device;

[0062] Step 2.7: Synchronously receive and analyze the relative humidity and rainfall characteristic quantities generated by the meteorological sensing device;

[0063] Step 2.8: Synchronously receive and analyze the real-time status information of the wireless link generated by the communication device, including: operating frequency, operating mode, link signal-to-noise ratio, link on / off status, and channel quality level characteristic quantities.

[0064] Step 3: Select different methods to calculate the distance between the communication object and the ship according to the source of the communication object's positioning information.

[0065] As Figure 3 shown, as a further optimization of the above embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, if the real-time position information source of the ship's communication object is a satellite navigation and positioning device, the calculation method of the distance between the communication object and the ship includes the following steps:

[0066] Analyze the position information of the communication object received by the satellite positioning device and the longitude and latitude information of the ship generated by the ship's inertial navigation device (obtained in Step 2.3). If the longitude and latitude information of the ship's position (obtained in Step 2.3) is consistent with the receiving time of the communication object's position information, calculate the distance D1 between the ship and the communication object through the haversine formula:

[0067]

[0068] In the formula, is the longitude and latitude information of the ship's position, is the longitude and latitude information of the communication object; r is the radius of the earth ≈ 6371 km.

[0069] In another embodiment of the present invention, when the connecting line between the ship and the communication object is close to the center of the earth or the communication object, calculate the distance D2 between the ship and the communication object through the spherical cosine theorem:

[0070]

[0071] If the time t1 when the position information of the own ship is generated is inconsistent with the time of the position information of the communication object t2, dynamic extrapolation calculation is performed based on the course γ2 and speed v2 characteristic quantities of the communication object (obtained in step 2.3) and the course γ1 and speed v1 characteristic quantities of the own ship (obtained in step 2.6). The distance D3 between the own ship and the communication object at the later generation time is calculated as the distance between the own ship and the communication object.

[0072] As the most preferred embodiment of the above, if the time t1 is later than the time t2, the longitude and latitude of the communication object at the time t1 are deduced. Assuming that the communication object sails uniformly in a straight line at the course γ2 and speed v2 from the time t2 to the time t1, the longitude and latitude of the communication object at the time t1 are extrapolated and calculated to obtain the longitude λ of the communication object at the time t1. t1 and latitude The distance between the own ship and the communication object is calculated by the spherical cosine theorem.

[0073] If it is associated and confirmed that the source of the real-time position information of the own ship's communication object is the real-time position information of the target detected by the own ship's detection sensor device, the target distance information of the associated communication object is extracted, that is, the real-time distance D4 between the own ship and the communication object.

[0074] Step 4: Calculate the communication coverage range of the inter-ship wireless communication link (the theoretical communication distance between the own ship and the communication object) according to the characteristic quantities such as the frequency band, working mode of the inter-ship wireless communication link, the height of the communication antenna mounted on the own ship and the communication object, and the meteorological information.

[0075] The calculation method of the communication coverage range of the inter-ship wireless communication link includes: obtaining the communication distance R of the wireless communication link under a certain working frequency and working mode according to the characteristic quantities of the communication link frequency and working mode (obtained in step 2.8) and the characteristic quantities of the antenna heights of the own ship and the communication object (design values). That is, the theoretical communication range of this wireless communication link is a circular area centered on the position of the own ship with a radius of R.

[0076] If the communication link is a VHF, L-band, S-band, or C-band communication link, combined with the characteristic that electromagnetic waves in the above frequency bands propagate in a straight line in space, the communication distance of the above wireless link is mainly affected by factors such as the earth's curvature, the distance between the communication antenna and the horizontal plane, including the height h1 of the own ship's communication antenna from the horizontal plane, the height h2 of the communication object's communication antenna from the horizontal plane, and the flight height H of the communication object. The theoretical communication distance of this frequency band can be obtained by using the line-of-sight theory formula of the communication distance:

[0077] If the communication object is a sea surface platform, the theoretical communication distance of this frequency band can be expressed as:

[0078]

[0079] If the communication object is an aerial platform, the theoretical communication distance of this frequency band can be expressed as:

[0080]

[0081] Step 5: Perform link on / off analysis according to the preset evaluation conditions, and give the on / off warning level:

[0082] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method for giving the on / off warning level in Step 5 is: compare the distances D1 / D2 / D3 / D4 between the communication object obtained in Step 3 and the ship itself with the wireless communication link coverage range R obtained in Step 4, classify the level information generated for the communication link quality according to the rating description of the wireless communication link quality level between ships, combine the communication channel quality level and the comparison result of the real-time distance between the communication object and the ship itself and the theoretical coverage range of the wireless link, and give a wireless communication link on / off warning prompt according to the on / off warning level of the wireless communication link between ships.

[0083] In this embodiment, the preset evaluation conditions include the on / off warning level table of the wireless communication link between ships and the rating description of the wireless communication link quality level between ships. Among them, the on / off warning level table of the wireless communication link between ships is shown in Table 2:

[0084] Table 2 On / Off Warning Level Table of Wireless Communication Link between Ships

[0085]

[0086] Among them, D is the distance between the actually detected communication object and the ship itself, and R is the communication range of the ship calculated theoretically.

[0087] The rating description of the wireless communication link quality level between ships is shown in Table 3:

[0088]

[0089]

[0090] In this embodiment, the rating description of the wireless communication link quality level between ships refers to the communication equipment voice quality level standard and evaluation method of GJB2673-1996.

[0091] Step 6: Real-time collect the interruption time of the wireless communication link between ships and the data of the on / off characteristic information of the communication link at this time, and update the wireless communication link state characteristic quantity database, including the working frequency, working mode, number of network members, link signal-to-noise ratio, relative humidity / rainfall, and communication distance calculation data between the target and the ship itself at the moment of link interruption. Use the information in the on / off state database of the wireless communication link accumulated and the calculation results of the information based on the current moment of the link described in Step 5 for dynamic evaluation, which further includes the following steps:

[0092] Step 6.1: According to the wireless communication link status information obtained by real-time monitoring of the communication device, record the moment of communication link interruption, and record the wireless communication link association feature quantities collected and calculated in Steps 1 to 4 at this moment, and update the data information in the wireless communication link status feature quantity database;

[0093] Step 6.2: Jointly evaluate the wireless communication link status based on the wireless communication link status feature quantity database and the results obtained in Steps 1 to 5

[0094] When the wireless communication link is established and used, update the wireless communication link status feature quantity database according to Step 6.1. At the same time, traverse the historical information of the wireless communication link status feature quantity database. By comparing the key feature quantities of the database historical data, including the distance between the communication object and the ship, the networking type, the number of network members, the communication frequency band, the working mode, the link signal-to-noise ratio, the relative humidity, and the rainfall, give a consistency judgment on the link interruption situation according to the threshold ranges of each key feature quantity preset in advance. If the key feature quantities in the current link establishment situation are all within the consistency threshold range, make a warning judgment according to the on / off status of the historical situation. If there are key feature quantities that are not within the consistency threshold range after traversal, give an alarm for the on / off warning level of the inter-ship wireless communication link according to the calculation method and evaluation conditions in Steps 4 and 5, and update the wireless communication link status feature quantity database according to Step 6.1.

Comprehensively utilize the above information to evaluate, analyze and display the connection status of the wireless communication link between ships at sea, and provide an auxiliary judgment on the wireless communication connection ability for the on-board communication personnel.
