Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm, in particular to a UAV swarm communication system and method based on dynamic polarization adaptive modulation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Low-altitude UAV swarm technology has great application potential in military reconnaissance, disaster relief, agricultural monitoring, border patrol, logistics distribution, etc. Compared with a single UAV, a UAV swarm has higher task efficiency, stronger system robustness and wider coverage. However, as the scale of the UAV swarm expands, the electromagnetic interference problem faced by the intra-swarm communication is increasingly serious.

[0003] In the prior art, there is provided a cognitive polarization communication system which can perceive the environment and adjust the signal polarization state. However, this system is mainly designed for a single communication link and lacks a swarm coordination mechanism; its polarization adjustment and modulation parameter selection are independent of each other and cannot achieve joint optimization; at the same time, this system reacts slowly when the interference environment changes rapidly and is not suitable for high-dynamic UAV swarm application scenarios.

[0004] At the same time, the existing low-altitude UAV swarm anti-interference communication technology has the following obvious shortcomings: insufficient adaptability to dynamic interference: the existing technology usually adopts a fixed anti-interference strategy and cannot effectively cope with the rapid changes in the type, direction and strength of interference, resulting in unstable communication performance in a complex electromagnetic environment. Inadequate utilization of polarization domain resources: electromagnetic spectrum resources are increasingly scarce, while the polarization domain, as a resource dimension independent of the frequency domain, time domain and space domain, has not been fully utilized. The existing system usually uses a fixed polarization state and does not use polarization as a dynamic resource to resist interference, missing an important opportunity to enhance communication. Low energy efficiency: traditional anti-interference technologies such as high-order spread spectrum or increasing the transmission power consume a large amount of energy. This is particularly disadvantageous for small UAVs with limited battery capacity, significantly shortening the operation time and effective range. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application aims to provide a UAV swarm communication system and method based on dynamic polarization adaptive modulation to solve the problems raised in the background art. The present application makes full use of polarization domain resources, enhances the anti-interference capability by dynamically adjusting the polarization state, combines polarization control with adaptive adjustment of modulation parameters, and realizes joint optimization. It realizes interference perception and resistance strategies for swarm coordination, improves the overall communication reliability, reduces energy consumption, prolongs the operation time of UAVs, maintains high communication reliability while improving spectral efficiency, adapts to the expansion of the swarm scale, maintains stable communication performance, simplifies hardware implementation, and meets the size, weight and power limitations of small UAVs.

Under the condition of intentional interference, the bit error rate is reduced by 95% compared with the traditional frequency hopping technology.

[0039] 2. The UAV cluster communication system based on dynamic polarization adaptive modulation has enhanced spectral efficiency: unlike the spread spectrum technology which sacrifices bandwidth for interference immunity, the present system maintains high spectral efficiency by utilizing the polarization domain. Under the same interference condition, the data rate is 3.5 times higher than that of the traditional DSSS system; and effectively reduces the energy consumption, the polarization-based interference suppression method needs significantly lower transmission power to achieve the same reliability.

The UAV cluster communication system based on dynamic polarization adaptive modulation has improved scalability: the distributed nature of the cluster coordination algorithm ensures that the system performance efficiently expands with the increase of the cluster size. Tests using up to 50 UAVs show that even as the cluster density increases, the communication reliability remains above 99%, while the reliability of the traditional system under the same conditions is less than 80%.

[0041] 4. Fast adaptive response to dynamic environment: The ability of the system to continuously perceive and adapt to changing interference conditions enables it to operate robustly in highly dynamic electromagnetic environments. The time from burst interference introduction to recovery is reduced from seconds to milliseconds in traditional systems; Enhanced stealth: By minimizing transmission power and employing polarization diversity, the system significantly reduces the probability of being detected and intercepted. The electromagnetic footprint is reduced by up to 18 dB compared to traditional UAV communication systems.

[0042] 5. Graceful degradation rather than catastrophic failure in severe interference: The system exhibits graceful degradation rather than catastrophic failure in severe interference, by adaptively reducing the data rate while maintaining the essential control link. Critical commands and control information remain 99.9% reliable even in the most severe interference cases. And can be implemented with simplified hardware: The system can be implemented using compact, lightweight hardware suitable for small UAVs. The reconfigurable antenna design requires only 30% of the volume of a traditional diversity antenna system while providing superior performance.

[0043] 6. Enhanced resistance to sophisticated jammers: The dynamic polarization hopping mechanism makes the system particularly resistant to learning-based jammers. Even adaptive jammers that attempt to match the system's polarization state struggle to keep up with the rapid changes implemented by the system. The algorithmic nature of the interference mitigation method in the invention allows for continuous improvement through software updates, ensuring that the system remains effective even as jamming technology evolves.

[0121] This embodiment provides a dynamic polarization adaptive modulation based UAV cluster communication method, which establishes a polarization domain-space-time joint optimization framework, and realizes interference rejection performance breakthrough through a four-layer progressive algorithm architecture:

[0122] 1. Polarization State Dynamic Regulation Theory System

[0123] 1.1 Polarization Domain Interference Characterization Model

[0124] A three-dimensional dynamic characterization space of interference polarization state is constructed:

[0125] Definition 1 (Polarization State Space):

[0126] Let the polarization state of electromagnetic wave be described by the normalized Jones vector:

[0127]

[0128] where E is the Jones vector representing the polarization state of the electromagnetic wave; E x and E y are the complex components of the electric field on the orthogonal coordinate axes (such as x and y axes); α ∈ [0, π / 2] is the polarization tilt angle; Δφ ∈ [0, 2π) is the phase difference; j is the imaginary unit, satisfying j 2 = -1.

[0129] Theorem 1 (Interference Polarization Orthogonal Suppression Criterion):

[0130] When the expected signal polarization Jones vector E s and the interference signal polarization Jones vector E I satisfy the orthogonal suppression criterion:

[0131]

[0132] the interference power rejection ratio (IRR) can be achieved, where ∈ thH is a preset threshold value, and H represents a Hermitian operation

[0140] Mode 2 (random jump mode):

[0141] When it is detected that the current polarization state is unstable, a pseudo-random polarization jump is triggered. The judgment condition for instability is that the change rate of the current polarization state deviation exceeds a preset threshold value, and the mathematical expression is:

[0143] wherein, d(t) is a scalar metric that changes with time t, and is used to represent the deviation degree of the current signal polarization state from the optimal or stable state at time t. The deviation degree can be calculated based on, for example, signal quality, interference level or distance from the target polarization state. γ is a preset sensitivity threshold value, which is used to judge the degree of state change. When the absolute value of the change rate of the deviation degree exceeds the threshold value, it is considered that the system state is unstable, and the random jump mode needs to be triggered to quickly escape from the current disturbed state.

[0147] 2. Polarization-spatial domain joint communication optimization

[0148] 2.1 Polarization domain SINR enhancement model

[0149] Define the polarization domain equivalent signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (P-SINR):

All key technical indicators meet or exceed the expected target values.

[0221] The embodiment also provides a frequency-polarization joint hopping system scheme, which combines frequency hopping and polarization hopping in a coordinated manner. In this scheme, instead of real-time interference detection and continuous optimization of polarization state, a predetermined hopping pattern is used to cycle through different combinations of frequency channels and polarization states. This scheme provides a simpler but less effective anti-jamming strategy against adaptive jammers.

[0222] The difference between this embodiment and the above scheme is:

[0223] 1. Using a predetermined hopping pattern instead of adaptive optimization:

[0224] Unlike the hybrid optimization method combined with deep reinforcement learning and model-driven in the invention, the frequency-polarization joint hopping scheme is based on a predetermined hopping pattern and lacks a dynamic interference feedback mechanism.

[0225] 2. Implementation is relatively simple, but less effective against adaptive jammers:

[0226] Due to the lack of real-time monitoring and adjustment of the interference source, this scheme has poor anti-jamming performance when facing adaptive jammers.

[0227] 3. No real-time interference polarization estimation is required:

[0228] Unlike the method in the invention, which relies on real-time interference source polarization estimation, this scheme avoids real-time estimation of the interference polarization state through a predetermined hopping sequence, thus simplifying the computational complexity.

[0229] 4. Lower computational complexity but also lower interference suppression capability:

[0230] Compared to the deep reinforcement learning method of the invention, this scheme does not require complex calculations and real-time feedback due to the preset of the hopping pattern, reducing the system's computational resource requirements, but sacrificing the interference suppression capability.

[0231] 5. Use a fixed set of discrete polarization states instead of continuous polarization control:

[0232] The polarization control in this invention is based on continuous polarization control, while this scheme only uses a fixed set of discrete polarization states, which limits the flexibility and adaptability of polarization control.

[0233] The following implementation details are also provided in this embodiment:

[0234] 1. Joint frequency-polarization hopping sequence generation: Use a secure key expansion method to generate a joint hopping sequence of frequency and polarization state, ensuring the confidentiality and anti-interference ability of signal transmission.

[0235] 2. Synchronization mechanism based on GPS timing or distributed consensus: Use GPS clock synchronization or distributed consensus algorithm to ensure time synchronization between multiple devices, ensuring the coordination and consistency of the hopping process.

[0236] 3. Simplify antenna design and discrete polarization state selection: Use a simplified antenna design that integrates a discrete polarization state selection mechanism to reduce hardware costs and improve system stability.

[0237] 4. Improved frequency synthesizer integrated with polarization control: Design a new frequency synthesizer that can control both frequency and polarization hopping to ensure stable signal transmission.

[0238] 5. Reduce feedback requirements between cluster members: Reduce real-time feedback requirements by pre-setting hopping patterns to reduce system control complexity.

[0239] Applicable scenarios and advantages:

[0240] This scheme is suitable for small unmanned aerial vehicles with limited computing resources, especially in application scenarios that require rapid deployment and do not require overly complex interference suppression. Its advantages include simplicity, low synchronization requirements, and suitability for small systems. However, its anti-interference ability is significantly lower than that of the invention when facing highly adaptive jammers.

[0241] The scheme is simple to implement and suitable for systems with limited computing resources. It reduces computational complexity by predefining hopping patterns, but lacks real-time interference feedback mechanisms, making it less resistant to interference.

[0242] This embodiment provides a distributed MIMO with polarization diversity, which treats the entire unmanned aerial vehicle cluster as a distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, with polarization diversity as an additional dimension of spatial multiplexing. Through the distributed MIMO architecture, the unmanned aerial vehicle cluster as a whole optimizes communication performance, not only improving system capacity but also providing additional anti-interference performance.

[0243] The key differences between this embodiment and the main scheme:

[0244] 1. Treating the swarm as a unified MIMO system rather than individual communication nodes:

[0245] Unlike the single IRS control scheme in this invention, the alternative treats the entire drone swarm as a unified MIMO array, achieving higher spectral efficiency and system capacity.

[0246] 2. Focusing on capacity enhancement rather than pure interference suppression:

[0247] The alternative focuses on enhancing spectral efficiency and capacity, while this invention focuses on interference suppression and signal quality optimization in complex interference environments.

[0248] 3. Requires more complex coordination and synchronization:

[0249] Due to the adoption of a distributed MIMO architecture, each drone in the swarm needs to be precisely coordinated and synchronized to ensure system performance and stability. This process is more complex than the centralized control method of this invention.

[0250] 4. Higher computational complexity but higher potential spectral efficiency:

[0251] The computational complexity of this scheme is higher because it needs to coordinate between multiple users, space-time coding, etc., but the potential spectral efficiency and channel capacity are also higher.

[0252] 5. Poor adaptability to highly dynamic swarm configurations:

[0253] Although this scheme can improve system capacity to some extent, it has poor adaptability when facing frequent changes in user demand and dynamic swarm configurations.

[0254] This embodiment also provides implementation details of this scheme:

[0255] 1. Distributed space-time polarization coding across the swarm: Design a space-time polarization coding strategy across the drone swarm, so that each swarm member plays a different role in the spatial and polarization domains, improving spatial multiplexing capability.

[0256] 2. Joint channel estimation: Joint channel estimation combined with polarization state information provides each drone with accurate channel state information to optimize the overall performance of the system.

[0257] 3. Cooperative beamforming and polarization control: Design a cooperative beamforming algorithm with polarization control to achieve coordinated communication within the swarm by adjusting the beam direction and polarization state of each drone.

[0258] 4. UAV Position Optimization: By optimizing the position and configuration of UAVs, the MIMO performance and channel capacity of the system are improved, and spatial interference is reduced.

[0259] 5. Complex Scheduling Algorithm: Develop a scheduling algorithm for managing distributed MIMO resources, ensuring effective allocation of system resources under different task requirements and user configurations.

[0260] Suitable scenarios and advantages:

[0261] This solution is suitable for large-scale UAV clusters with sufficient computing power and high data rate transmission requirements, which can significantly improve spectral efficiency and channel capacity, especially for high-throughput applications. However, it requires more precise node coordination and relatively stable cluster configuration, and has higher computational complexity.

[0262] This solution can improve spectral efficiency and channel capacity, but requires higher computing resources and precise coordination. It is suitable for applications that require high data transmission, but may face poor adaptability in dynamic environments.

[0263] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present application and the advantages of the present application. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application.

[0264] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the description of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.
