[0002] Low-altitude UAVs play an increasingly important role in fields such as military reconnaissance, emergency rescue, logistics distribution, and urban security. However, in complex terrains (such as mountainous areas, urban canyons, forest-covered areas, etc.), due to terrain occlusion, multipath fading, and uneven local electromagnetic environments, polarization signals will undergo severe mismatch and distortion, resulting in a significant decline in the quality of UAV communication links. At the same time, most traditional polarization compensation methods adopt fixed compensation strategies and cannot track the dynamic changes of the channel polarization state under complex terrains in real time, thus failing to meet the strict requirements for high reliability, low bit error rate, and high security in practical applications.

[0003] In addition, some current systems use edge computing technology to process data in real time, but there are still problems such as data processing delays and insufficient algorithm robustness in dynamic polarization signal compensation.

Experimental verification shows that, compared with traditional methods, the present invention can reduce the bit error rate by more than 60% in complex terrains, and significantly improve the stability of the communication link. Especially in complex environments such as mountain forests, the bit error rate of this method is only 38% of that of traditional methods.

In addition, by predicting interference changes, the system can adjust the modulation and coding scheme in advance, further reducing the impact of interference and improving communication reliability.

[0052] 3. Cluster collaboration advantages: Through distributed collaborative decision-making, multiple UAV nodes jointly optimize the anti-interference strategy, effectively reducing the risk of single-point failure. When the cluster scale expands from 2 nodes to 16 nodes, the overall anti-interference ability of the system is improved by about 140%, and the impact of a single node failure on the overall system performance is reduced to less than 25% of the original. This is because federated learning can converge the environmental perception information of multiple nodes to form a more comprehensive interference situation map, thereby achieving a better collaborative anti-interference strategy.

[0053] 4. Low power consumption and high security: The lightweight algorithm designed by the present invention reduces the computational complexity by about 65% compared with traditional solutions, and reduces the power consumption by about 42% while maintaining the same performance. At the same time, the integrated secure communication module can effectively prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and replay attacks, and the security strength is increased to 128-bit equivalent security strength, meeting military-level security requirements. The low-power design makes the present invention more suitable for UAV platforms and extends the flight time of UAVs. The high-security design ensures the data security and control security of the UAV communication link. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0065] Embodiment 1

[0066] As Figure 1-3 and Figure 8 shown, a dynamic polarization signal compensation method for low-altitude complex terrain provided in this embodiment includes:

[0067] Collecting channel polarization state data in real time based on an adaptive polarization antenna array and a full-duplex SDR platform;

[0068] Calculating the signal-to-noise ratio of the channel based on the polarization state data;

[0069] Setting a candidate modulation scheme set based on the signal-to-noise ratio of the channel, and constructing a constraint function based on the candidate modulation scheme set;

[0070] Solving for the optimal compensation parameters and modulation method by using a global optimization algorithm based on the constraint function.

[0071] Calculate the optimal polarization compensation parameter \(P^*\) and the optimal modulation scheme \(M^*\) in real time according to the channel polarization matrix \(HH\) and interference parameter \(II\) collected under low-altitude complex terrain, so as to maximize the system channel capacity and make the bit error rate lower than the preset threshold.

[0072] Step 1: Polarization index calculation:

[0073] Given the channel polarization matrix:

[0074]

[0075] where \(h\) HH , \(h\) HV , \(h\) VH , \(h\) VV represent the channel gains between different polarization directions, and \(H\) is the channel polarization matrix;

[0076] Calculate the polarization mismatch degree (XPD):

[0077]

[0078] where \(XPD\) is the polarization mismatch degree.

[0079] Calculate the polarization correlation coefficient:

[0080]

[0081] where \(\rho\) is the polarization correlation coefficient.

[0082] Calculate the polarization ellipse parameters:

[0083] The polarization ellipse parameters include the polarization angle and the polarization ellipticity;

[0084] The calculation expression of the polarization angle is:

[0085]

[0086] where \(\theta\) is the polarization angle;

[0087] The calculation expression of the polarization ellipticity is:

[0088]

[0089] where \(\epsilon\) is the polarization ellipticity.

[0090] Step 2: Channel quality index evaluation

[0091] Calculate the channel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR):

[0092]

[0093] Define the channel quality index \(Q\) as a function:

[0094] Q = f(XPD, ρ p , SNR);

[0095] Step 3: Modulation Scheme Selection:

[0096] Set the set of candidate modulation schemes {M i} (such as BPSK, QPSK, 16 - QAM, 64 - QAM, etc.), and calculate the bit error rate BER(P, M i ). It is required to satisfy:

[0097] BER(P, Mi) ≤ β;

[0098] where β is the preset bit error rate threshold.

[0099] Step 4: Solving the Optimization Problem:

[0100] Construct the optimization objective function:

[0101]

[0102] where BER(P, M) is the bit error rate, P is the polarization compensation parameter, M is the modulation scheme, and β is the preset bit error rate threshold;

[0103] The constraint conditions of the constraint function are:

[0104] BER(P, M) ≤ β. BER(P, M) ≤ β.

[0105] Use the gradient descent or other global optimization algorithms to solve the optimal compensation parameter P* and modulation scheme M*.

[0106] This embodiment uses the gradient descent algorithm.

[0107] Initialization:

[0117] Convergence judgment: If P(k + 1) - P(k) < δ and M(k + 1) = M(k), or the number of iterations exceeds the upper limit, then output (P*, M*).

[0118] Data stream:

[0119] The interference source location module periodically outputs P i ;

[0120] The status monitoring module updates parameters such as H, XPD, ρ, etc.;

[0121] The optimization algorithm performs other global searches such as gradient descent on the edge computing platform and sends updates (P * , M * ).

[0122] Real-time performance:

[0123] The edge computing platform has CPU + GPU / FPGA collaboration and can complete one iteration at the 10 ms level;

[0124] The optimization period (such as 100 ms) can be set for parameter update to ensure a fast response to the perturbed environment.

[0125] Elastic polarization switching:

[0126] Once (P * , M * ) is obtained, the polarization mode (θ * , ∈ * ) of the dual-polarized antenna is adjusted through the optimized switching control model and the modulation method M * is configured.

[0127] The switching time is controlled at the 5 μs - 10 μs level (depending on the performance of the antenna array and the RF switch), and the impact on communication continuity is small.

[0128] Step 5: Output the decision result

[0129] Return the optimal parameter P* and the optimal modulation scheme M* for dynamically adjusting the UAV communication transmission parameters.

[0130] Performance verification experiment:

[0131] To verify the effectiveness of the algorithm in this embodiment, three groups of comparative experiments were designed in this embodiment, and detailed performance data were collected:

[0132] Experiment 1: Comparison of polarization compensation effects under different terrains

[0133] In this embodiment, the performance differences between the polarization compensation algorithm of this embodiment and the traditional fixed compensation method were tested under three typical terrains (open terrain, urban environment, mountain forest). Experimental parameter settings: carrier frequency 2.4 GHz, signal bandwidth 20 MHz, modulation method QPSK, channel models used CST2100 urban microcell model and ITU-R P.1411 mountain terrain model, signal-to-noise ratio fixed at 20 dB. 1000 independent channel realizations were simulated under each terrain, and the bit error rate was statistically analyzed. As Figure 4 shown. Figure 4 It shows that under the three terrains, the method of this embodiment is significantly superior to the traditional method in terms of bit error rate, especially in complex terrains.

[0134] Experiment 2: Real-time performance test of polarization adaptability

[0135] In this embodiment, the tracking ability of different algorithms to polarization changes under rapidly changing channel conditions was tested. In the experiment, it was simulated that an unmanned aerial vehicle flew in a complex terrain, resulting in a rapid change of the channel polarization state over time. The polarization state change model used a random walk model, and the polarization angle and ellipticity randomly jumped within a certain range, with a jump rate of 10 Hz. The polarization tracking errors of the method of this embodiment, the traditional fixed compensation method, and the rule-based adaptive compensation method (switching the polarization mode according to the XPD threshold) were compared. The tracking error was defined as the Euclidean distance between the actual polarization state and the compensated polarization state.

[0136] Figure 5 It shows the advantages of the method of this embodiment in terms of the convergence speed and steady-state accuracy of the polarization tracking error. In this embodiment, the performance differences in throughput between the system of this embodiment and the traditional system under different interference intensities (signal-to-interference ratio from -10 dB to 20 dB) were compared. In the experiment, narrowband interference was added, and the interference bandwidth was 10% of the signal bandwidth, and the center frequency randomly changed. The system of this embodiment (using dynamic polarization compensation and adaptive modulation), the traditional system (fixed polarization compensation and fixed modulation QPSK), and the theoretical upper limit throughput (ideal polarization matching and optimal modulation) were compared. The throughput calculation formula is: throughput = bandwidth × log2(M) × (1 - BER), where M is the modulation order and BER is the bit error rate. Figure 6 It shows that the method of this embodiment can achieve a significant throughput improvement in various interference environments, especially in the medium interference environment, with an improvement amplitude exceeding 100%.

[0137] The following is another experimental process of this embodiment:

[0138] Experimental purpose:

[0139] Verify the anti-interference performance of the UAV dual-polarized antenna elastic switching method (EPS method) based on interference source spatial positioning proposed by the present invention in a low-altitude complex terrain environment, and compare it with the traditional fixed polarization method (VP method) and the polarization switching method based on signal strength detection (RSSI-based PS method). The key performance indicators include bit error rate (BER), system throughput, and spectral efficiency.

[0140] Experimental setup and simulation parameters:

[0141] Experimental scenario: Simulate a low-altitude complex terrain environment, using urban and mountain environment models (based on the CST2100 urban microcell model and the ITU-R P.1411 mountain model respectively).

[0142] Carrier frequency: 2.4 GHz

[0143] Signal bandwidth: 20 MHz

[0144] Modulation method: QPSK (extendable to other modulation schemes, such as 16-QAM, 64-QAM)

[0145] Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR): 20 dB (when the desired signal is without interference)

[0146] Interference type: Single narrowband interference, interference bandwidth is 10% of the signal bandwidth, and the center frequency varies randomly

[0147] Interference signal power (INR): The variation range is from 0 dB to 20 dB

[0148] Number of sampling times: Conduct 1000 Monte Carlo simulations under each condition, statistically analyze the data, and calculate the average value and standard deviation

[0149] Calculation of performance indicators:

[0150] Bit error rate (BER): Statistically analyze the average bit error rate under each method through simulation

[0151] Throughput: The calculation formula is

[0152] Throughput = bandwidth × code rate × (1 - BER)

[0153] Spectral efficiency:

[0154] Data statistical method:

[0155] For each interference intensity condition, the average bit error rate, throughput, and spectral efficiency are calculated for all simulation results, and the standard deviation is statistically analyzed to reflect the data fluctuations. Standard mean and standard deviation formulas are used for data statistics.

[0156] Comparison experiment design:

[0157] Fixed vertical polarization (VP method): The UAV antenna is fixed in the vertical polarization mode.

[0158] Polarization switching based on signal strength detection (RSSI-based PS method): Horizontally and vertically polarized are dynamically switched according to the received signal strength.

[0159] The elastic polarization switching method (EPS method) of this embodiment: Based on the spatial positioning information of the interference source, the optimal polarization mode is intelligently determined and elastically switched.

[0160] Each method is simulated and compared under the same experimental conditions, and curves of the bit error rate, throughput, and spectral efficiency versus the change of INR are plotted. At the same time, the average value and standard deviation of each index are marked on the graph.

[0161] Experimental code description:

[0162] Three methods are defined in the code: fixed vertical polarization (VP), polarization switching based on RSSI detection (RSSI), and elastic polarization switching (EPS) of the present invention.

[0163] Each method performs 1000 Monte Carlo simulations under different interference signal power ratios (INR), and the average bit error rate and standard deviation are statistically analyzed, and the throughput is calculated accordingly.

[0164] Finally, two charts are plotted. The left side is the bit error rate comparison chart, and the right side is the throughput comparison chart. Error bars are included in the charts to show the data fluctuations.

[0165] The experimental results are described as Figure 7 shown:

[0166] Figure 7 It shows that in the case of strong interference (INR>10dB), the average bit error rate of the EPS method is significantly lower than that of the VP and RSSI methods, and the throughput is higher;

[0167] For example, when INR = 15dB, the average BER of the EPS method is less than 0.06, while that of the VP method may reach 0.08, and the throughput is increased by more than 100%.

[0168] The error bars (standard deviation) are small, indicating that the data is stable, verifying the robustness and real-time advantages of this method.

[0169] This embodiment has the following technical effects: 1. Dynamic polarization compensation: By collecting the polarization state in real time and dynamically optimizing the compensation parameters, this embodiment overcomes the limitations of the fixed compensation method and achieves the best matching of the channel polarization state. Experimental verification shows that compared with the traditional method, this embodiment can reduce the bit error rate by more than 60% under complex terrain, and the stability of the communication link is significantly improved. Especially in complex environments such as mountain forests, the bit error rate of this method is only 38% of the traditional method. This is because this embodiment can track and compensate the rapidly changing polarization mismatch under complex terrain in real time, while the traditional fixed compensation method cannot do this.

[0170] 2. Enhanced environmental adaptability: By using predictive interference recognition and federated learning for collaborative decision-making, the system can actively and quickly respond to environmental changes and dynamically adjust the modulation method and coding strategy. Experiments show that the convergence time of the method in this embodiment does not exceed 2 seconds after the polarization state mutation, while the traditional method takes more than 5 seconds to stabilize, significantly improving the adaptability of the system in a dynamic environment. In addition, by predicting interference changes, the system can adjust the modulation and coding scheme in advance to further reduce the impact of interference and improve communication reliability.

[0171] 3. Cluster collaboration advantage: Through distributed collaborative decision-making, multiple drone nodes jointly optimize the anti-interference strategy, effectively reducing the risk of single-point failure. When the cluster size expands from 2 nodes to 16 nodes, the overall anti-interference ability of the system is increased by about 140%, and the impact of a single node failure on the overall system performance is reduced to less than 25% of the original. This is because federated learning can converge the environmental perception information of multiple nodes to form a more comprehensive interference situation map, thereby achieving a better collaborative anti-interference strategy.

[0172] 4. Low power consumption and high security: The lightweight algorithm designed in this embodiment reduces the computational complexity by about 65% compared with the traditional scheme, and the power consumption is reduced by about 42% while maintaining the same performance. At the same time, the integrated secure communication module can effectively prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and replay attacks, and the security strength is increased to 128-bit equivalent security strength, meeting military-level security requirements. The low-power design makes this embodiment more suitable for the drone platform and extends the flight time of the drone. The high-security design ensures the data security and control security of the drone communication link.

[0198] High-precision recognition: Based on a deep learning-based interference classification model, use a convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract interference features and achieve high-precision recognition. The specific structure of the convolutional neural network (CNN) model is as follows:

[0199] Input layer: Receive preprocessed interference signal data, such as time-domain sampling data or frequency-domain spectral data. The input data dimension can be adjusted according to the actual application scenario and the dimension of the interference features. For example, a fixed-length time-domain sampling sequence or a two-dimensional spectrogram can be input.

[0200] Convolutional Layers: Stack multiple convolutional layers to automatically extract deep features in the interference signal.

[0201] The first convolutional layer: Adopt a smaller convolutional kernel size (such as 3x3 or 5x5) to extract local time-domain or frequency-domain features, such as edges, textures, etc.

[0202] Subsequent convolutional layers: As the network depth increases, the convolutional kernel size can gradually increase to extract more abstract and global features. Different numbers and sizes of convolutional kernels can be used to increase the diversity of feature extraction.

[0203] Activation function: Usually connect an activation function, such as ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) or LeakyReLU, after each convolutional layer to increase the non-linear expression ability of the network.

[0204] Pooling Layers: Insert pooling layers, such as MaxPooling or AveragePooling, between or after convolutional layers to reduce the dimension of the feature map, reduce the computational amount, and enhance the translational invariance of features.

[0205] Fully Connected Layers: After multiple convolutional and pooling layers, connect several fully connected layers to map the extracted features to the category space.

[0206] Hidden Layers: The fully connected layers can contain multiple hidden layers to increase the learning ability of the network.

[0207] Activation Functions: The fully connected layers can also use activation functions such as ReLU or LeakyReLU.

[0208] Output Layer: The last fully connected layer serves as the output layer, using the Softmax activation function to output the probability values corresponding to each interference type. The output dimension corresponds to the number of interference types (e.g., 10 typical interferences).

[0209] Training Method: Use labeled interference sample data for training, and use the backpropagation algorithm and optimizers (such as Adam or SGD) to optimize the network parameters. The loss function can choose the cross-entropy loss function.

[0210] Model Parameters: Model parameters such as the number of convolutional kernels, the size of convolutional kernels, the type and parameters of pooling layers, the number of fully connected layers and nodes can be adjusted and optimized according to the actual application scenario and data characteristics.

[0211] Recognition Accuracy: >92% (under the condition of SINR > -10dB). It can still maintain a high recognition rate under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

[0224] Encryption calculation delay: <1 ms, with little impact on real-time communication. Hardware acceleration and optimized algorithms are adopted to achieve low-latency encryption.

[0225] The communication protocol is:

[0226] Polarization state negotiation protocol: Define the reference signal structure (preamble + training sequence), polarization state feedback format (compressed representation of the polarization matrix H), and compensation parameter negotiation process (three-way handshake mechanism). The reference signal uses a pseudo-random sequence, which has good autocorrelation and cross-correlation. The polarization state feedback format uses differential coding and quantization compression to reduce feedback overhead. This protocol mainly operates between the polarization processing module and the control module. The polarization processing module is responsible for adjusting the polarization state according to the negotiation result, while the control module is responsible for initiating and managing the negotiation process, and storing and transmitting negotiation parameters.

[0227] Interference Information Sharing Protocol: It supports the efficient transmission of interference feature data among nodes and adopts differential coding. This protocol mainly operates between the interference recognition module and the information fusion module (or control module). The interference recognition module is responsible for detecting and extracting interference features, and transmitting the data to the information fusion module (or control module) through this protocol for centralized processing and analysis, so as to conduct global interference situation awareness and collaborative interference suppression. If the system does not have a dedicated information fusion module, the control module is responsible for receiving and processing interference information.

[0228] Federated Learning Collaboration Protocol: It stipulates the processes of model training, parameter aggregation, and decision distribution, including node weighting mechanism, differential privacy protection, and abnormal node detection. The node weighting mechanism dynamically adjusts the weights according to the node contribution degree. The differential privacy protection mechanism prevents the leakage of node data privacy during the model training process. The abnormal node detection mechanism identifies malicious nodes and faulty nodes to improve the robustness of the system. This protocol mainly operates between the model training module and the control module. The model training module is responsible for executing the federated learning training tasks, and the control module is responsible for coordinating and managing the entire federated learning process, including parameter aggregation, model distribution, node management, and policy decision-making.

[0229] Secure Communication Protocol: It ensures the security of confidential key distribution, storage, and management, and supports identity authentication, session protection, and integrity verification. The key distribution adopts a key exchange protocol based on the public key infrastructure (PKI). The identity authentication adopts digital certificates and a two-way authentication mechanism. The session protection adopts an encrypted tunnel and a secure transmission protocol (such as TLS / SSL). The integrity verification adopts a message authentication code (MAC) and digital signature technology. This protocol mainly operates between the security module and the control module, as well as among all modules in the system that require secure communication. The security module is responsible for providing various security functions, such as key management, identity authentication, data encryption, and integrity verification. The control module is responsible for configuring and managing security policies and coordinating the secure communication requirements of each module. Other modules in the system that require secure communication, such as the data acquisition module, signal processing module, information fusion module, etc., all need to cooperate with the security module and follow the secure communication protocol for data exchange.
