Background
Wireless relaying is not only an effective way to extend the transmission range, but also an important way to increase capacity. The deployment of relays can be achieved by using fixed relay nodes or mobile relay platforms. Since fixed relay nodes cannot provide flexible relay service, in recent years, researchers have shown great interest in mobile relays, such as relay systems based on unmanned intelligent reflectors.
As the drone is able to change its position quickly and dynamically, they can be provided with flexible and on-demand services according to their real-time location on the ground. In particular, using ad hoc, each drone may be dynamically and automatically assigned to an on-demand ground user and perform flight tracking to provide one-to-one service until the edge of the coverage area is reached. The coverage areas of deployed drones may also overlap to avoid service holes.
Endurance is an important problem in unmanned aerial vehicle relay, though intelligent plane of reflection is because its lightweight, and adopts the characteristics of electromagnetic passive reflection principle and the ultralow consumption of intelligent reflection phase place regulating circuit, can reduce unmanned aerial vehicle's consumption, improves unmanned aerial vehicle's endurance, but unmanned aerial vehicle self removes, and the acquisition of unmanned aerial vehicle position and the adjustment of intelligent plane of reflection phase place still need consume some energy.

The intelligent reflecting surface is provided with N passive reflecting elements. The signals reflected by each element of the Intelligent Reflective Surface (IRS) and the signals transmitted by the source may be summed at the destination. Thus, the signal received at user k is represented as:

where p is the signal transmit power and σ is the gaussian white noise variance.
For any given Θ, the achievable rate for the kth user can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003556563300000066
the channel from the base station to the user via the IRS can be represented as:
Figure BDA0003556563300000067

When the phase meets the requirement of maximum channel capacity, and the signal reaches the channel gain | h of the user through the intelligent reflecting surfacesr||hrd,kWhen | is maximum, the channel capacity gets the maximum value;
step S2: and establishing a three-dimensional coordinate system of the communication system, and determining the positions of the user, the base station and the unmanned aerial vehicle, wherein the coordinate system is shown in figure 2. From the established coordinate system and the respective positions represented by the coordinate points, the distance can be calculated.

The base station location is represented as (0, 0, H)BS) The position of the intelligent reflecting surface carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle is expressed as (x)IRS,yIRS,zIRS) The user position is represented as (x)user,k,yuser,k,Huser)。
In this embodiment, the height of the obstacle is set to be close to the height of the base station without large fluctuation, and the minimum distance from the user activity area to the obstacle is ddb,minThe nearest distance from the active area to the intelligent reflecting surface is drd,min. In order to ensure that the sight distance transmission between the intelligent reflecting surface and a user is satisfied, the height of the intelligent reflecting surface is set to be determined by the shortest distance between a user activity area and an obstacle, the maximum height of the obstacle and the shortest distance between the intelligent reflecting surface and the user area, and the height is expressed as follows:

The transmission between the base station and the user is a non line of sight (NLOS) transmission, and the path loss is expressed as PLNLOS(dsd,k). Base station antenna gain of GBSAfter phase optimization, the gain of the intelligent reflector antenna is regarded as constant in movement, namely GIRS. Antenna gain at the receiving end isGUE. Using the 3GPP model for the Urban Micro (UMi) scenario as a channel gain model, and the 3GPP model for the Urban Micro (UMi) scenario as a channel gain model the channel gain is defined as:

S44, searching the maximum value in the Data array and setting the maximum value as S*And making the following judgments:
s441, if | S-S*|<E, ending the circulation, wherein the position of the intelligent reflecting surface is the optimal position of the relay of the unmanned aerial vehicle;
s442, otherwise, carrying out the following steps:

and S45, updating the position information of the user at intervals, repeating the steps S41-S44 when the position of the user is changed, recalculating the optimal position of the unmanned aerial vehicle relay at the moment, wherein the initial position of the intelligent reflecting surface in the calculation is the optimal position of the unmanned aerial vehicle relay after the last adjustment is finished.
In this embodiment, in step S1, the initial value is set as: carrier frequency fc3GHz, the number N of the intelligent reflecting surface reflecting elements is 250, the number K of the users is 50, and the base station transmits power p to each userk30dBm, a fixed amplitude reflection coefficient α of 1, and an additive white gaussian noise variance σ2=-94dBm。
In this embodiment, in step S2, the initial value is set as: height H of base stationBS10m, user height Huser1.5m, maximum height of obstacle Hblock10m, the initial coordinates of the intelligent reflecting surface are set as the geometric centers of each user and the base station, the user activity area is set as a square area with two points of (50, 50, 1.5) and (150, 150, 1.5) as diagonal vertexes, the point of the user activity area closest to the obstacle is (50, 50, 1.5), and the minimum distance d is set asdb,minThe user positions are set to be randomly distributed within the user activity area, 10 m.

Fig. 3 shows that the unmanned aerial vehicle carries the intelligent reflector for auxiliary communication, and the comparison between the average reachable rate of the user based on the fixed-position intelligent reflector for auxiliary communication and the average reachable rate of the user without the intelligent reflector for auxiliary communication is shown, and as can be seen from the figure, the average reachable rate of the user carrying the IRS for auxiliary communication is obviously higher than the average reachable rate of the user without the IRS for auxiliary communication, and higher than the average reachable rate of the user carrying the IRS for auxiliary communication when the IRS position is (0, 100, 10), so that when the area of the obstacle is larger, that is, the fixed-position IRS is farther from the base station, the communication method for the unmanned aerial vehicle carrying the IRS is more effective. The unmanned aerial vehicle path optimization method considers the total reachable speed, and the quality of the communication system is improved more obviously.
