Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for optimizing the dynamic channel transmission characteristics of a boundary layer meteorological observation aircraft, belonging to the interdisciplinary field of atmospheric sounding and wireless communication. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the development of meteorological observation technology towards intelligence and three-dimensionality, boundary layer meteorological observation unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become an important low-altitude detection platform, and the reliability of their data transmission directly affects the accuracy of atmospheric boundary layer research.

[0003] Modern meteorological observation networks need to meet the dual requirements of scientific research and industrial applications:

[0004] (1) Scientific observation dimension: By integrating satellite remote sensing, UAV detection and ground observation station data, boundary layer UAVs have become the core carrier for obtaining key meteorological parameters such as boundary layer turbulence, temperature and humidity profiles, thanks to their advantages such as high maneuverability, high vertical detection resolution and ability to penetrate clouds.

[0005] (2) Economic application dimension: The low-altitude meteorological data resource system constructed by the meteorological bureau requires that the UAV platform not only collect data, but also support economic service functions such as dynamic control of flight routes, which puts forward a higher standard for the real-time data transmission.

[0006] However, under complex atmospheric conditions (such as strong convection and wind shear), the aircraft's communication link faces a dual challenge:

[0007] (1) Scientific level: The severe signal attenuation and rapid time-varying channel directly affect the integrity of high-frequency data such as turbulence spectrum, leading to an increase in the error of boundary layer turbulence energy cascade analysis;

[0008] (2) Economic aspects: The Shenzhen drone logistics test showed that communication interruption during micro-burst weather can delay the replanning of delivery routes by up to 12 seconds and increase the operating cost per flight by 23%.

[0009] Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), originally developed as an intelligent algorithm to effectively address the non-convexity and high-dimensional computational complexity of complex optimization problems, has been increasingly adopted in recent years for various UAV wireless communication optimization problems. However, existing channel models remain insufficient in handling high dynamism, environmental complexity, and real-time computational requirements. They struggle to guarantee the timeliness and robustness of system performance optimization in complex air-to-ground environments, especially in boundary layer sudden weather scenarios. Furthermore, they fail to meet the dynamic service demands of the low-altitude economy. Therefore, developing dynamic optimization methods that simultaneously satisfy scientific accuracy and economic efficiency has become crucial for overcoming the bottlenecks in the coordinated development of smart meteorological observation and the low-altitude economy.

[0137] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the simulation results of the proposed method for optimizing the dynamic channel transmission characteristics of a boundary layer meteorological observation aircraft are presented. Figure 2 As shown, the impact of different numbers of scattering clusters and optimization algorithms on average energy efficiency in a DRL-assisted boundary layer air-to-ground wireless communication scenario is illustrated. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm converges rapidly in the early stages of training, followed by a significant improvement in energy efficiency, with minimal fluctuations after stabilization, while traditional algorithms converge slowly and exhibit severe fluctuations. Furthermore, a higher number of scattering clusters indicates a more complex channel, and the proposed algorithm demonstrates a higher energy efficiency, showing a significant advantage. Therefore, it can be concluded that the DRL-assisted boundary layer air-to-ground wireless communication system has stronger self-learning and adaptation capabilities to dynamic channels compared to traditional communication systems, achieving higher energy efficiency.

[0138] like Figure 3 As shown, in the DRL-assisted boundary layer air-to-ground wireless communication scenario, the reward value changes of the proposed algorithm and other algorithms during the training process were compared. It can be seen that the proposed algorithm has a better overall convergence effect, and its reward value is closer to the high-yield range than other algorithms, reflecting the stability of the strategy and the convergence advantage. This indicates that the optimal strategy it converges to is better and can maintain higher returns in long-term training. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is more suitable for this task scenario and can learn high-yield strategies more efficiently to dynamically optimize channel transmission.

[0139] like Figure 4 As shown, this illustrates the impact of different Rice factors on the spatial cross-correlation characteristics of the channel in a DRL-assisted boundary layer air-to-ground wireless communication scenario. Simulation results indicate that when the obstacle distribution between the transmitter and receiver is very sparse and there are few scatterers, i.e., the Rice factor is significantly higher... When the value is very large, the spatial cross-correlation characteristics of the transmission path are significantly greater than those of a channel with very dense scatterers (i.e., (When the value is small). When only non-line-of-sight paths dominated by scatterers exist in the channel, the spatial correlation of the channel decreases significantly, approaching zero. Therefore, it can be concluded that when designing a DRL-assisted boundary layer air-to-ground wireless communication system, the impact of the Rice factor on the time-domain non-stationary characteristics of the channel should be considered.
