Abstract

As the common means of field emergency communication, the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) relay plays an important role in both civil and military fields. With the diversification of requirements and the limitations of single operation, multi-UAV cooperative work has attracted extensive attention. However, due to the UAV signal’s universality of broadcast and the limitation of power, information transmission is more likely to be interrupted. Therefore, in the presence of interference, this paper adopts forward amplification protocol under UAV relay transmission model. And two beamforming methods are proposed based on minimizing transmission power and maximizing communication rate of UAV relays. Then, we establish the power-constrained maximum security rate optimization problem with UAV relays, and deduce the corresponding beamforming weight vector and the optimal rate of safety. Finally, the simulation results show the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed beamforming method.
