Mathematical model of a communication channel with an unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

In this paper, a mathematical model of a communication channel with an unmanned aerial vehicle and taking into account the specifics of the locations of a ground communication point when determining the effects of refraction, diffraction and interference of electromagnetic waves is proposed. A meaningful statement of the problem based on the mathematical relationship between the energy parameters of the first transmission equation and the quality indicators (BER) of the second transmission equation has been formed. The main features of calculating the parameters of the first equation are to determine the rules for calculating the level of attenuation due to the influence of the earth’s surface. The calculation of attenuations for cases of removal of an unmanned aerial vehicle from a ground communication point within the areas of line of sight, partial shade and shadow has been clarified. The second transmission equation is based on the mathematical model of the Rice communication channel. With respect to the energy parameters and the selected communication quality indicator for the formed mathematical model, examples of graphical dependencies are given in the study of typical computational problems.
