Wireless Communication Networks Between Distributed Autonomous Systems Using Self-Tuning Extremum Control

Abstract

CONCLUSION: Communication Propagation Model * Communication propagation model was developed, which include the effects of the path loss, antenna pattern loss, and the orientation of aerial platforms * Proposed models were validated through real flight tests * Self-tuning Extremum Control for UAVs Location * On-lie adaptive gradient estimator was integrated into an expremum control architecture * Proposed self-estimating extremum control is robust to even low signal-to-noise ratio signal * Effectiveness of the self-tuning optimizer was validated through real time flight tests * Applicable for Decentralized Network Coverage Control.
