Abstract

Background. Based on the theoretical and practical (using Atoll) calculation of radio communication lines and antenna devices were estimated the main network parameters (throughput, length of the data transmission route, delays, number of network elements) of proposed ground to air network (GAN) architecture.

Objective. The purpose of the work is to evaluate the effectiveness of mobile networks with directed action sensors using UAVs at different levels.

Methods. Simulation modelling of two mathematical models and their comparison using MATLAB software.

Results. It is shown that the throughput decreases with the increase of the data transmission route, while the delay and the number of network elements increase in accordance with the previous study. Changing the location of the nodes also affects the parameters evaluated, so 10,000 measurements were made to obtain the required amount of statistical data. Two mathematical models were created. The first model is based on an existing mobile omnidirectional sensor network using a single UAV layer while the second one is based on a mobile network of directional sensors using two levels of UAVs. In both models, the data was transmitted from the nodes to the pseudo-satellite. In the proposed model, the following average values were achieved: throughput - 852071 bits/s, number of network elements - 4.4, route length - 33673 meters.

Conclusions. According to the obtained results, it can be argued that the proposed two-level UAV location model using directional sensors can be effectively used to maintain the connectivity of a mobile sensor network with the achievement of a gain in the evaluated indicators.
