Abstract:

In view of the problems of intelligent networking protocol and efficient communication technology in UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)cluster network communication, a feasible information interaction and collaborative networking method based on hierarchical network architecture is adopted in this study. The overall design scheme of the system is described in detail from the aspects of network coding layer, network layer, link layer, physical layer and wireless communication hardware design, and a network coding communication method based on hierarchical network architecture is proposed. A cluster network with relatively stable performance in the face of cluster node movement is obtained by means of the ground station participating in the initial clustering and the air node self-organizing maintenance. An enhanced TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) protocol based on network coding is designed, which can realize the high throughput and fast transmission of information in the UAV network data link. The simulation results show that the performance of network coding TCP method is better than that of traditional TCP, and it is suitable for the UAV cluster communication environment with large bit error rate. The advantage of network coding can realize the efficient and fast data transmission between nodes and between nodes and ground stations.

Key words: UAV cluster, network communication, intelligent networking, efficient communication, hierarchical network, network coding, TCP, bit error rate
