| 要約: | In order to improve the network performance of multi-unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) systems in urban environments, this article proposes a novel online autonomous motion-control method for the relay UAV. The problem is solved by jointly considering unknown RF channel parameters, unknown multi-agent mobility, the impact of the environments on channel characteristics, and the unavailable angle-of-arrival (AoA) information of the received signal, making the solution of the problem more practical and comprehensive. The method mainly consists of two parts: wireless channel parameter estimation and optimal relay position search. Considering that in practical applications, the radio frequency (RF) channel parameters in complex urban environments are difficult to obtain in advance and are constantly changing, an estimation algorithm based on Gaussian process learning is proposed for online evaluation of the wireless channel parameters near the current position of the UAV; for the optimal relay position search problem, in order to improve the real-time performance of the method, a line search algorithm and a general gradient-based algorithm are proposed, which are used for point-to-point communication and multi-node communication scenarios, respectively, reducing the two-dimensional search to a one-dimensional search, and the stability proof and convergence conditions of the algorithm are given. Comparative experiments and simulation results under different scenarios show that the proposed motion-control method can drive the UAV to reach or track the optimal relay position and improve the network performance, while demonstrating that it is beneficial to consider the impact of the environments on the channel characteristics.
