[0002] In extreme scenarios such as emergency communication, disaster rescue or military confrontation, traditional communication networks (public network, private network and satellite network) may be completely paralyzed due to infrastructure damage, electromagnetic interference or human blockage (i.e. "three-network-all-outage"). At this time, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) relay communication link becomes a key technical means for restoring communication due to its flexible deployment, strong anti-destruction and wide area coverage capability.

[0003] In the current three-network-all-outage (public network, private network and satellite network outage) emergency scenario, the quick establishment and optimization of the unmanned aerial vehicle relay communication link is a core requirement in the fields of rescue and military. Although the existing technology has made some progress, it still has the following key drawbacks and deficiencies: 1) limited anti-interference capability, after the three networks are interrupted, the electromagnetic environment is complex (such as strong electromagnetic pulse, same frequency interference), and the existing frequency allocation strategy (such as fixed frequency or simple frequency hopping) is easily suppressed, and there is a lack of intelligent anti-interference mechanism; 2) the relay unmanned aerial vehicle needs to continuously forward signals, but the existing power control algorithm is mostly static or semi-dynamic, which cannot be adjusted in real time according to the link quality, resulting in waste of energy consumption (such as fixed high power transmission); 3) after the link is interrupted, it relies on manual intervention to restart, and lacks a self-diagnosis and rapid recovery mechanism. Therefore, a method for quickly establishing and optimizing an unmanned aerial vehicle relay communication link in a three-network-all-outage scenario is proposed. SUMMARY
