Abstract:

In view of the problem that the current asynchronous network update method takes a long time to update and can not avoid updating deadlock, in order to reduce the network performance loss during updating, a time-based update method for airborne network of aviation swarm is proposed. Considering the real link delay, the time parameter is combined with the update dependency graph. Firstly, a time-based update dependency graph is constructed. Secondly, a greedy scheduling algorithm is designed to allocate the update time step for each update operation. Finally, the timed network update is realized and the update sequence coordination in asynchronous update is avoided. Simulation experiments show that compared with the existing asynchronous updating methods, the update time can be reduced by 50%~60% through the proposed timing update method, and the update deadlock rate and the network congestion are reduced during the network update.

Key words: aviation swarm, airborne network, software-defined networking, clock synchronization, time-based update
