The invention discloses a robust
connected dominating set clustering method based on a standby cluster head, and mainly solves the problems that a large-scale high-dynamic low-altitude
network clustering structure is unstable, the fault reconstruction signaling overhead is high and the service interruption time
delay is high in the navigation positioning information missing environment in the prior art. According to the scheme, the method comprises the steps that each node calculates the comprehensive weight of the node and interacts
topological information, and nodes with the communication dominating capacity are marked as candidate dominating nodes; switching the node into a cluster head node or a candidate standby cluster head node based on a topology coverage rule and a weight
decision rule; the common node and the candidate cluster head node receive the beacons and select the cluster head with the optimal state to send a
random access request; the cluster head receives an access request, preferentially performs
joint evaluation of performance and comprehensive weight on the candidate standby cluster head in the cluster, and selects the candidate standby cluster head with the optimal state as the standby cluster head; and the target node receives an assignment result, switches the assignment result into a standby cluster head and establishes a main-standby binding relationship with the cluster head node to complete division of each node. The method is high in cluster structure stability, high in fault self-healing speed and low in maintenance overhead, and can be used for distributed clustering networking and
backbone network construction.
