Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention pertains to wireless communication technology, specifically a robust beamforming method for combating UAV attitude jitter based on a rotatable antenna. Background Technology
[0002] Low-altitude wireless networks have rapidly developed as an integrated paradigm covering diverse activities in airspace below 1,000 meters. Through the deployment of drones and other aerial platforms, they are widely used in logistics, environmental monitoring, and smart city services. Drones, with their three-dimensional maneuverability, flexible deployment, and line-of-sight (Line-of-Sight) link-dominated communication characteristics, have become a core component of low-altitude wireless networks. To fully utilize these capabilities and support high-capacity services, aerial networks typically employ millimeter-wave communication combined with high-gain directional beamforming technology to maintain reliable connections between drones. However, drone beamforming design faces a key challenge: drone attitude jitter. Due to external disturbances (such as gusts and turbulence) and internal factors (such as sensor noise and mechanical vibration), drone platforms experience continuous high-frequency fluctuations in yaw, pitch, and roll attitude angles. These attitude jitters cause AoD and AoA to deviate from their nominal values, resulting in inaccurate transmit and receive beams. In practical applications, the rapid changes in drone attitude make accurate AoD / AoA acquisition difficult, making instantaneous beam tracking and alignment extremely challenging.
[0003] To address the challenges posed by attitude jitter, existing research has proposed various robust beamforming schemes. Among them, beam widening technology has been widely used, such as... The guidelines extend beam coverage and design wide beams by activating some antenna elements. Furthermore, some studies employ heuristic algorithms such as the artificial bee colony algorithm to search for the optimal beamforming vector under jitter conditions. In practical applications, the coupling of yaw, pitch, and roll jitter causes non-uniform fluctuations in the AoD / AoA along the array's horizontal and vertical axes. This phenomenon, known as "asymmetric jitter," more accurately reflects the impact of attitude fluctuations in 3D UAVs but limits the effectiveness of robust solutions designed for simplified symmetrical scenarios.
[0004] In recent years, rotatable antennas have emerged as a novel array architecture, introducing additional rotational degrees of freedom compared to traditional fixed arrays. By dynamically adjusting the geometric layout of antenna elements, rotatable antennas provide a new physical layer solution for low-altitude wireless network communication. Based on the granularity of rotation, rotatable antennas can be categorized into array-level rotation and element-level rotation: array-level rotation reshapes spatial channel characteristics through global rotation, while element-level rotation allows each element to rotate independently for finer beam and polarization control. Leveraging these capabilities, rotatable antennas demonstrate significant potential in improving spatial resolution, suppressing interference, enhancing received power, and optimizing coverage performance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention proposes a robust beamforming method for combating UAV attitude jitter based on a rotatable antenna. By jointly optimizing the rotation angle of the rotatable antenna and the beamforming vector, the method effectively solves the problem of communication quality degradation caused by UAV attitude jitter.
[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this invention is: a robust beamforming method for anti-UAV attitude jitter based on a rotatable antenna, the specific steps of which are as follows:
[0007] Step 1: Based on the UAV point-to-point communication system, establish a UAV attitude jitter model. The UAV attitude jitter model considers the independent Gaussian jitter of the UAV at the three attitude angles of yaw, pitch and roll. The attitude jitter is mapped to the two-dimensional cosine angle domain through the Jacobian matrix.
[0008] Step 2: Construct a point-to-point channel model for UAVs based on a rotatable antenna;
[0009] Step 3: Construct an optimization problem model with the goal of maximizing the traversal transmission rate. The problem jointly optimizes the transmit and receive beamforming vectors and the rotation angle of the rotatable antenna. Under the constraints of transmit power, constant mode constraint and feasible region of rotation angle, the optimization is carried out to address the uncertainty of the transmit and receive angles caused by asymmetric attitude jitter.
[0010] Step 4: Symmetricalize the asymmetric jitter distribution by using the optimal rotation angle, and then construct a two-dimensional beam using linear frequency modulation based on the symmetry result to obtain the array rotation angle and beamforming vector of the receiver and transmitter.

[0020] UAV point-to-point communication systems based on rotatable antennas, such as Figure 1 As shown.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, a robust beamforming method for anti-UAV attitude jitter based on a rotatable antenna is described, with the following specific steps:
[0022] Step 1: Establish a UAV attitude jitter model. The UAV attitude jitter model considers the independent Gaussian jitter of the UAV at three attitude angles: yaw, pitch and roll. The attitude jitter is mapped to the two-dimensional cosine angle domain through the Jacobian matrix to obtain the transmitter angle and receiver angle (AoD / AoA).
[0023] Initialize system parameters, such as Figure 1 As shown in (a), the UAV point-to-point communication system comprises indexes respectively. The three-dimensional coordinates of the UAV transmitter and receiver are shown as follows: The transmitting and receiving ends are each equipped with a scale of and A uniform planar rotatable antenna array.
[0024] Establish a model for the attitude angle jitter of a UAV, such as Figure 1 As shown in (b), the drone The attitude is determined by the attitude yaw angle. Attitude and pitch angle and attitude roll angle Composition, denoted as Due to attitude jitter, the instantaneous attitude angle is decomposed into the sum of the nominal attitude angle and the random jitter component:

[0027]
[0028] in, These are the variances of attitude yaw, attitude pitch, and attitude roll jitter, respectively. Based on the geometric positional relationship between the transmitter and receiver, the relative pitch angle between the transmitter and receiver is... and azimuth The calculation is as follows:
[0029]
[0030] in, The three-dimensional coordinates of the launching UAV; The three-dimensional coordinates of the receiving drone.
[0031] Establish a mapping relationship between attitude jitter and the two-dimensional cosine angular domain, where the actual beam direction is determined by the elevation angle. Azimuth and attitude angle Together, they determine the first dimension component of the two-dimensional AoD / AoA vector. Second dimension component In the cosine angle domain:
[0032]
[0033] in, This represents the first dimension component of the two-dimensional AoD / AoA vector in the cosine angle domain. This is the second-dimensional component of the two-dimensional AoD / AoA vector in the cosine angle domain; This refers to the attitude yaw angle; The pitch angle is the attitude angle. For attitude roll angle; The relative elevation angle between the receiver and the transmitter; This refers to the relative azimuth angle between the receiver and the transmitter.
[0034] For small-scale jitter, a first-order Taylor expansion is used. and Approximation:

[0040] Therefore, the two-dimensional AoD / AoA vector follows a Gaussian distribution:

[0042] Among them, the mean covariance matrix Specifically:
[0043]
[0044] in, It is a Jacobian matrix; Represents a diagonal matrix; , , These are the variances of yaw, pitch, and roll jitter, respectively; superscript This indicates the matrix transpose.
[0045] Step 2: Construct a point-to-point channel model for UAVs based on rotatable antennas. The UAV point-to-point channel is a line-of-sight dominant channel, and both the transmitter and receiver use uniform planar rotatable antenna arrays.
[0046] The UAV point-to-point channel matrix based on a rotatable antenna Represented as:

[0057] Step 3: Construct an optimization problem model with the goal of maximizing the traversal transmission rate. The problem jointly optimizes the transmit and receive beamforming vectors and the rotation angle of the rotatable antenna. Under the constraints of transmit power, constant mode constraint and the feasible region of rotation angle, the AoD / AoA uncertainty caused by asymmetric attitude jitter is optimized.
[0058] Construct a signal transmission model, and represent the baseband received signal after beamforming at the receiving end as follows:

To maximize the traversal transmission rate, the transmit beamforming vector is jointly optimized. Receive beamforming vector and the rotation angle of the rotatable antenna and , construct an optimization problem:
[0063]
[0064] The constraints include constant mode constraints on the transmit beamforming vector and the receive beamforming vector, as well as feasible region constraints on the rotation angle. and ; This represents the expected operation of the statistical characteristics of the uncertainty of the transmitting and receiving angles. The traversal rate objective function depends on the AoD / AoA deviation caused by the attitude jitter of the UAV.
[0065] Step 4: A two-stage robust beamforming method is adopted. In the first stage, the asymmetric jitter distribution is symmetricized by optimizing the rotation angle. In the second stage, a two-dimensional beam is constructed based on the symmetry result using linear frequency modulation. Since the attitude jitter of the transmitter and receiver are independent of each other, the traversal rate can be decomposed into two independent single-UAV subproblems. Taking the receiver as an example, the specific process is as follows; the transmitter uses the same method to jointly optimize the beamforming vector and rotation angle.
[0066] Step 4.1: The first stage is rotation angle optimization to symmetricize the asymmetric jitter distribution;
[0067] Based on the current nominal attitude angle of the drone at the receiving end And the jitter variance in the three directions of attitude yaw, attitude pitch, and attitude roll. Calculate the initial covariance matrix of the two-dimensional AoA vector:

[0098] Example 1
[0099] This invention is mainly verified using computer simulation methods, and all steps and conclusions have been verified to be correct using MATLAB.
[0100] The specific steps for signal generation are as follows:
[0101] 1) Initialization of system-related parameters
[0102] The carrier frequency is set to 28 GHz; the noise power of the receiving drone is -80 dBm, and the transmit power of the transmitting drone is... 30dBm; both drones are equipped with A rotatable antenna (RA) array with antenna spacing Half wavelength; the transmitting drone is fixed at the coordinates At point m, the receiving drone is located At point m; the nominal attitude angles are respectively set to m. rad and rad; assuming the two drones have the same jitter intensity, i.e. Each simulation data point was passed through The average value of the Monte Carlo experiments was obtained.
[0103] 2) Simulation analysis of method performance
[0104] Figure 2The normalized beam pattern of the proposed solution is shown in two representative UAV states. Observation reveals that, in both states, the main lobe of the beam consistently covers the asymmetric uncertainty region, demonstrating robustness to different asymmetric jitter conditions. This indicates that the proposed solution can adapt the effective angular coverage to asymmetric jitter without requiring instantaneous attitude tracking, while simultaneously maintaining concentrated high gain within the most probable fluctuation region. Figure 3 It shows that the traversal transmission rate varies with jitter intensity. The variation curves (ranging from 0.03 rad to 0.1 rad) are shown. Two benchmark schemes are introduced in the comparative analysis: benchmark scheme 1 uses a narrow beam design, and benchmark scheme 2 uses a wide beam design without array rotation. With... As the beamwidth increases, the ergonomic rate degrades in all schemes due to increased beam mismatch. The narrow-beam reference scheme is the most vulnerable due to its limited angular redundancy. Importantly, even with the same effective beamwidth, the scheme of this invention achieves a higher ergonomic rate than the two reference schemes. This further verifies that aligning the beam with the dominant angular uncertainty through rotatable antenna rotation is superior to simple beam widening techniques in combating asymmetric jitter.
