飞行自组织网的全双工双向时间传递技术研究

Research on Full-duplex Two-Way Time Transfer Techniques for Flying Ad Hoc Networks

针对飞行自组网(FANET)中节点间相对运动导致双向时间传递精度下降的问题,该文提出一种全双工双向时间传递(TWTT)方法。首先,根据全双工双向时间传递过程构造了需要求解的方程组,推导了单次时间传递的同步误差表达式;然后,分析了在无频偏和有频偏条件下,迭代进行全双工双向时间传递的收敛性;最后,通过仿真分析和实验验证比较了全双工双向时间传递方法和传统双向时间传递方法的性能。仿真和实验结果表明,全双工双向时间传递方法在节点高速机动下,时间同步精度可达到与物理层时间戳相同的精度,优于现有的运动补偿方法。

In order to solve the problems of time synchronization accuracy degradation of two-way time transfer due to relative motion between nodes in Flying Ad hoc NETwork(FANET),a full-duplex Two-Way Time Transfer(TWTT)method is proposed.Firstly,a system of equations to be solved is constructed according to the full-duplex two-way time transfer procedure,and the synchronization error expression for single full-duplex two-way time transfer is derived.Then,the convergence of iteratively performing full-duplex two-way time transfer with or without frequency offset is analyzed.Finally,the performance of full-duplex two-way time transfer method is compared with traditional two-way time transfer methods by simulation analysis and experimental validation.The simulation and experimental results show that full-duplex two-way time transfer method can achieve the same time synchronization accuracy as the physical layer timestamps under high-speed maneuvering between nodes,and the synchronization accuracy is better than the existing motion compensation methods.
