Abstract:

The unmmand aerial vehicle (UAV) channel contains multipath, Doppler frequency shift. It is easily affected by external interference and nonlinear distortion caused by high power amplification. To solve those problems a data transmission technology of UAV orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based on deep neural network (DNN) is proposed. In the downlink, OFDM system is used. After demodulation and borrowing at the receiver, the least square (LS) channel estimation and zero forcing (ZF) algorithm are used for preliminary signal detection, and then input into the DNN composed of BiLSTM and full connected layer for channel estimation and signal detection optimization, and data stream recovery. Simulation results show that compared with the traditional interpolation method, the proposed method has obvious advantages in channel estimation performance under three states of UAV takeoff and landing, flight and hovering, and the bit error rate performance is improved by at least one order of magnitude; under the influence of nonlinear distortion and external interference, the proposed method still has significant performance advantages, which not only simplifies the processing module of nonlinear distortion and interference, but also improves the stability of the system qualitative.
