Abstract
Wireless ultraviolet (UV) non-line-of-sight (NLOS) communication network is increasingly being used in three-dimensional (3D) space, such as formation flying and holding, underwater communication networks and ground-to-air communications. In this article, a networking strategy for three-dimensional wireless ultraviolet communication network (UVNNS) is proposed to optimize the coverage, connectivity and the survivability of the UV network. The performance of UVNNS with different communication parameters (apex angle, transmitted power, data rate, error probability and node density), modulation and noise model is simulated and analyzed in the 3D UV network. The simulation results show that the approach of UVNNS can improve the coverage ratio, connectivity and the survivability. Compared with the random deployment approach, the performance metrics of UVNNS are better than that of random deployment approach (RDA) in the same UV network. Therefore, the deployment of the 3D UV network can be accomplished efficiently with a minor impact of obstacles.
