Collaborative Computing Strategy Based SINS Prediction for Emergency UAVs Network

摘要

In emergency scenarios, the dynamic and harsh conditions necessitate timely trajectory adjustments for drones, leading to highly dynamic network topologies and potential task failures. To address these challenges, a collaborative computing strategy based strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) prediction for emergency UAVs network (EUN) is proposed, where a two-step weighted time expanded graph (WTEG) is constructed to deal with dynamic network topology changes. Furthermore, the task scheduling is formulated as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) to WTEG mapping problem to achieve collaborative computing while transmitting among UAVs. Finally, the binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm is employed to choose the mapping strategy that minimizes end-to-end processing latency. The simulation results validate that the collaborative computing strategy significantly outperforms both cloud and local computing in terms of latency. Moreover, the task success rate using SINS is substantially improved compared to approaches without prior prediction.
