A dynamic trajectory control algorithm for improving the probability of end-to-end link connection in unmanned aerial vehicle networks

Abstract

Recently, the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) have attracted great attention to provide various services. However, the Unmanned Aeria Vehicle (UAV) network which is constructed with multiple UAVs is prone to frequent disconnection. This is why the UAVto- UAV links are constructed with two UAVs with high mobility. In such a disconnected network, ground-nodes cannot communicate with other ground-nodes with End-to-End link and the communication failure. Because the UAVs fly along with a commanded trajectory, the trajectories are the most important to decide UAV network performance. In this paper, we propose a effective UAVs’ trajectory decision scheme.
