UAV cascaded relay communication is an important technical scheme for the long-distance point-to-point wireless communication.Aiming at UAV path planning problem in UAV cascaded relay communication system with a mobile user node,a joint optimization and a stepwise optimization path planning method are proposed based on the maximization of ergodic capacity criterion.And the outage probability of the UAV cascaded relay communication system is derived by using FM-EM algorithm.Simulation results demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed path planning methods.Research indicates that the stepwise optimization path planning method achieves the same performance as the joint optimization path planning method.
