Abstract:

To carry out the system design and technology development for emergency communications, and greatly improve our ability of risk prevention and emergency disposal, the research on multi-unmanned aerial vehicle (multi-UAV) cooperative channel model for emergency communications was carried out.First, the channel dataset of multi-UAV cooperative emergency communications in two typical emergency environments, i.e., the urban earthquake and suburban blizzard, was established.The channel parameters and statistical properties of multi-UAV cooperative emergency communications were analyzed.Second, a more general geometry-based stochastic channel model (GBSM) was proposed for multi-UAV cooperative emergency communications.The channel impulse response (CIR) and the cooperative non-station arity of multi-UAV cooperative channels in the space and time domains in multi-UAV cooperative emergency communications were calculated and captured.Finally, the channel characteristics of multi-UAV cooperative emergency communication in urban earthquake and suburban blizzard scenarios were analyzed, which could support the practical implementation of multi-UAV cooperative emergency communications.Meanwhile, the statistical characteristic of the proposed model can fit well with that of ray-tracing-based channel data, verifying the utility of the proposed model.

Key words: emergency communication, multi-UAV cooperative communication, ray-tracing, GBSM, cooperative time-space non-station arity
