Research on Reliability of Ad hoc Network Communication in UAVs Formations

As an important performance index of the UAV Ad hoc network, network reliability is a great significance for the performance evaluation of the UAV network system, and provides a direction for the selection of the UAVs formations. In this paper, based on the 3D Gauss Markov moving model, we modeled the motion mode of the UAV group. By using the Weibull distribution to sample the failure of the fleet, and through the correlation matrix which characterizes the connectivity state of network nodes in the time domain, we studied and compare the reliability of the self-organizing network of the UAV group with different formations. It provides a basis for selecting the formations of the UAVs for different network requirements.
