The method aims at solving the problems of beam pointing deviation and beam misalignment caused by high-speed movement of an unmanned aerial vehicle and sharp change of a channel state. The invention provides a novel intelligent reflector-assisted opportunistic cognitive unmanned aerial vehicle network
beam tracking method. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, predicting space angle information of a potential moving area of an unmanned aerial vehicle by adopting a long-short-
term memory model based on an attention mechanism, and designing a self-adaptive dual-beam coverage range and a dual-beam alignment center according to a prediction result; and secondly, constructing an
optimization problem in which spectrum sensing duration, an intelligent reflector
shift matrix of two stages and secondary
base station beamforming are jointly designed by taking maximization of the unmanned aerial vehicle sum rate as a target. As optimization variables have high
coupling, the complex non-convex
optimization problem is decoupled into four sub-problems, a binary search method, a
Lagrange multiplier method and a continuous convex approximation method are used to solve the four sub-problems, and finally, an alternating iteration
algorithm is used to carry out alternating iteration to obtain a high-quality suboptimal solution. And finally, performing linear weighting on the optimal secondary
base station beam forming vector and the intelligent reflecting surface
shift matrix in the
data transmission stage to realize dual-beam alignment from the secondary
base station and the intelligent reflecting surface to the unmanned aerial vehicle. A
simulation result shows that compared with a traditional beam alignment scheme, the scheme provided by the invention not only relieves the problem of insufficient spectrum
authorization, but also has more stable communication performance.
