UAV Trajectory Planning for Delay Tolerant Communications
Résumé
In this paper, we address the problem of optimizing a communication-aware trajectory for a quadrotor that must transfer periodically (with fixed period T) a maximum amount of data from a source node (SN) to a destination node (DN). The communications aspect is mathematically stated by linking the bit rate to the channel capacity concept from information theory. The trajectory is optimized using a parametric approach using Fourier series in order to reduce the computational load of the optimization process. We show that the proposed trajectory results in a large increase of the amount of transferred data, and can be easily tracked by the quadrotor.
