Optimization Method for Energy Consumption in Data Acquisition Assisted by UAV Swarms

针对无线传感器网络(WSN)中数据采集的安全性和能耗问题,该文提出一种无人机(UAV)群辅助的数据采集能耗优化方法。该方法通过优化无人机的数量、高度和WSN中数据传输数量降低系统总能耗。首先,针对WSN数据采集,提出一种基于信誉值的数据双层压缩算法。该算法根据地理位置将传感器分簇,簇内传感器分为簇头和簇成员,簇成员负责训练预测模型并发送给簇头;簇头则负责模型的筛选、聚合以及信誉值更新,并将聚合结果发送给无人机;其次,针对无人机群数据收集,提出一种无人机优化部署算法,该算法将无人机部署问题转化为圆包装问题,通过动态调整无人机数量,最小化无人机群网络总能耗;同时,针对数据采集过程,在无人机群建立了私有区块链用于存储采集数据,保证了数据的安全性;最后,基于伯克利大学联合研究实验室数据集对所提方法进行验证,仿真结果表明该方法能实现无人机的最优部署,同时具有误差小、能耗低及安全性高的优势。

To ensure security and reduce energy consumption for data acquisition in Wireless Sensor Network(WSN),Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)swarms-aided energy consumption optimization for data acquisition algorithm is proposed.The total energy consumption of the system is reduced by optimizing the number of UAVs,the height and the number of data transmissions in the WSN according to this algorithm.Firstly,for data acquisition in WSN,a reputation based data dual compression algorithm is proposed,which divides sensors into clusters according to geographic locations.In a cluster,there are one cluster head which is responsible for model selection,aggregation,and reputation update,and several cluster members which are responsible for training the prediction model and send it to the cluster head.Secondly,a UAV deployment optimization algorithm is proposed to minimize energy consumption of UAV swarms,which is transformed into a circular packing problem and solved by dynamically adjusting the number of UAVs.Moreover,a private blockchain is enabled in the UAV swarm to improve the security of the data acquisition process.Finally,the proposed method is verified by Berkeley Research Lab dataset and simulation results show that this method could optimize the deployment of UAVs,achieve small error,low energy consumption and high security.
