Specifically, the first step includes: the sending end classifies all the transmission data according to the data types and the requirement information of the transmission data and determines the corresponding receiving end types;
specific examples are as follows: the data types of the four-rotor aircraft are divided into three categories, namely position and speed, sensor data and real-time state data of the four-rotor aircraft, and designated information of a certain four-rotor; the position and the speed of the four-rotor aircraft need to be shared in a communication network, and the data receiving ends are all receiving ends in a ZigBee communication network; sensor data and real-time state data of the four-rotor aircraft need to be sent to a ground station for remote monitoring, and a receiving end of the data is the ground station; independent communication may be required between any two quadrotors, and the specified information receiving end of one quadrotor is the quadrotor pointed by the specified information;
the data stream receiving end of the ground station is mainly divided into two categories of information of a certain specified four rotors and all four rotors. The ground station needs to send command information such as take-off/landing, mode switching and uploading waypoints to different four rotors according to the states and current requirements of the four rotors, the purpose of the information is only for one four rotors, and other four rotors do not need, so that the receiving end of the data is a designated four rotors. Meanwhile, when communication connection is established between the ground station and the four rotors and communication connection is kept, the ground station needs to send heartbeat packets to all the four rotors timely to ensure whether the connection is normal or not, and therefore the message receiving ends are all the four rotors. The current requirement can be a requirement judged by an operator according to the field working condition and the flight requirement, and the current requirement is controlled and switched according to the judged requirement.
Specifically, the second step includes: the sending end determines transmission information according to the type of the receiving end and generates a combined data frame with the transmission information and transmission data; determining transmission information according to the type of a receiving end, and packaging the transmission information as an outer layer outside transmission data; according to the message frame format of the MAVLink communication protocol, the transport data is encapsulated as an inner layer of a combined message frame whose transmit/receive frame format of the combined data frame is shown in fig. 2.
The transmission data is encapsulated in the form of a MAVLink message protocol as an inner layer of a combined message frame, including: transmitting load data and data-related description information, wherein the filled fields comprise: filling transmitted specific data in Payload, filling the type of the specific data in MessageType, filling aircraft numbers and component numbers of a transmitting end in SystemID and ComponentID respectively, filling a Sequence number of a combined message frame in Sequence, and filling Start frames in MAVLInk Start, MAVLink Length and MAVLink Checksum respectivelyLength and check code.
The transmission information package is used as an outer layer of the combined message frame, wherein the filled fields comprise: TransmitType for recording the transmission mode, ResponseFlag for recording whether to respond, DestinationAddress for recording the transmission address, TransmitOpoints for recording the transmission mode, BroadcastAdadius for recording the broadcast radius, and Reserved as a Reserved bit. The difference between the receiving frame and the sending frame of the combined data frame is that the SourceAddress in the receiving frame is the address of the sending end, and the SourceAddress in the sending frame is the address of the receiving end; the transmission method RecieveType in the received frame is a reception type, the transmission method RecieveType in the transmitted frame is a transmission type, and the field of broadcast radius BroadcastRadius is absent in the received frame.
Specifically, for example, the transmission message is encapsulated according to the data type and the receiving end type, and a combined data frame is generated, where the data type, the receiving end type, and the transmission information thereof are shown in table 1.
Figure BDA0002708473080000101
TABLE 1 data classification
Taking communication requirements of formation cluster research as an example, firstly judging the data type according to the MAVLinkType, then packaging and transmitting information according to information in a table, and aiming at a four-rotor transmitting end, if the data is position or speed data, and a receiving end is all four rotors in a communication network, filling a broadcast address in a DestinationAddress position in a data frame and selecting a broadcast mode in a TransmitOptions position; if the data is the real-time state data of the aircraft, and the receiving end is a ground station, filling a ground station address in a DestinationAddress bit in a data frame and selecting a unicast mode at a TransmitOptions position; if the four-rotor information is appointed, the receiving end is the appointed four-rotor, the DestinationAddress bit in the data frame fills in the appointed four-rotor address, and the unicast mode is selected at the TransmitOptions position.
When a ground station sending end encapsulates transmission information, if the heartbeat packet is received, and the receiving end is all four rotors, filling a broadcast address in a DestinationAddress position and selecting a broadcast mode in a TransmitOptions position; if the command information is for the specified four rotors, the specified four rotors address is filled in the DestinationAddress bit, and the unicast mode is selected in the TransmitOptions position, so that the frame command information can only be sent to the specified target four rotors. Therefore, different data are sent to different receiving ends according to requirements, data flow is simplified, and communication efficiency is improved.
Specifically, the third step includes: the ZigBee communication module installed at the transmitting end transmits the combined data frame only to the receiving end to which the transmission address points in the combined data frame in the transmission mode recorded in the combined data frame, and the transmission flow is as shown in fig. 3;
after receiving the combined data frame from the sending end, the ZigBee communication module of the sending end sends the combined data frame to a receiving end pointed by a transmission address in a transmission mode in the transmission information according to the transmission information in the combined data frame, namely if the transmission mode is unicast and the transmission address is a certain receiving end address, the communication module sends the frame data to the receiving end only in a unicast mode, and other receiving ends cannot receive the frame data; if the transmission mode is broadcast and the transmission address is a broadcast address, the communication module broadcasts and sends the combined data frame to the ZigBee communication network, and all receiving ends can receive the combined data frame.
Further, the method also comprises the following steps: in order to avoid confusion where the special value disturbs the data stream, the transmitting end needs to escape the special value data before the combined data frame is transmitted by the transmitting end to the communication module. The special value data includes a start delimiter 0x7E, an escape character 0x7D, a data flow control start character 0x11 and a terminator 0x 13. The escape mode is that after the escape character 0x7D is inserted before the special value data, the special value data and 0x20 are processed with XOR operation and then transmitted.
Specifically, the fourth step further includes: after receiving the combined data frame sent by the sending end in a wireless transmission mode, the receiving end communication module converts the combined data frame sending frame mode into a receiving frame mode, namely, the transmission type is modified into a receiving type, the broadcast radius is deleted, the sending end address is filled in the transmission address, and then the combined data frame receiving frame is transmitted to a sending buffer area to be temporarily stored until the data is read by the receiving end through wired transmission.
Further, still include: and after receiving the data frame, the receiving end extracts the original combined data frame from the data frame after the escape. The extraction method is to discard the data and read the next data when the escape character 0x7D is read, and then the original data is obtained by performing XOR operation with the data and 0x 20. After the complete combined data frame is extracted, the receiving end can identify the sending end through the address of the sending end in the combined data frame, namely, the sending end can identify the ground station or one of the four rotors which sends the data of the frame, and the required data can be obtained through the transmission data in the combined data frame.
In this scheme, to between many four rotors, the communication problem between four rotors and the ground station, adopt zigBee communication module, many four rotors, ground station founds communication link and communication network, encapsulate communication data with the combined data frame and encapsulate the transmission information who corresponds according to the flow direction demand, cooperation communication module can only send data to the demand receiving terminal, and other receiving terminals can not receive, realize between many four rotors, the point-to-point between four rotors and the ground station, the communication of point-to-multipoint, retrench the dataflow and guarantee that data only transmits to the demand receiving terminal, communication efficiency has been improved.
