Abstract:

Focusing on the tasks collaboration requirements of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm under the complex battlefield environment, it is especially important to ensure the reliable of routing communication within the formation. Considering the limited energy carried by the UAV, in order to maximize the flight time of UAV, an energy consumption balancing routing algorithm of UAV swarm for ultraviolet secret communication is proposed. Based on the formation keeping of UAV and combined the characteristics of wireless ultraviolet scattering communication, both communication link path loss and residual energy of UAV nodes is introduced to construct the link weight function in the process of routing, which can balance the energy consumption of UAV swarm nodes. Simulation results show that compared with other algorithms, the proposed algorithm can dynamically select the data transmission path to balance energy consumption of nodes efficiently, thereby extend the lifetime of UAV swarm.

Key words: unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarm, wireless ultraviolet communication, routing algorithm, energy consumption balancing
