Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which connect to one another over wireless networks, are being used in warfare more frequently. Nevertheless, adversarial interference has the potential to disrupt wireless communication, and the UAV routing methods in use today struggle to handle interference. In this paper, we propose a Cross-Layer UAV Link State Routing protocol, CLUN-LSR, to combat against jamming attacks. CLUN-LSR features three designs. First, it obtains real-time spectrum status from the link layer. Such capabilities are provided by many existing radios, especially the ones in military applications, but are ignored by traditional routing protocols. Second, based on the cross-layer information, CLUN-LSR adds efficient routing functions during routing, including the use of the number of two-hop neighbor nodes as a metric for route selection. Third, CLUN-LSR selects nodes that are not in the interference area, thereby reducing network interruptions and improving data transmission efficiency. All table-driven routing protocols can apply CLUN-LSR for better performance. We apply CLUN-LSR to the existing routing protocol MP-OLSR and simulate it using a commercial network simulator. Simulation results show that our innovative routing protocol demonstrates superior performance compared to existing table-driven routing methods, particularly in terms of packet transmission rate and overall throughput.

针对频谱拒绝环境的跨层无人机网络路由协议

通过无线网络相互连接的无人飞行器（UAV）在战争中的使用越来越频繁。然而，对抗性干扰有可能破坏无线通信，而目前使用的无人飞行器路由选择方法很难处理干扰。在本文中，我们提出了一种跨层无人机链路状态路由协议 CLUN-LSR，以对抗干扰攻击。CLUN-LSR 有三个特点。首先，它能从链路层获取实时频谱状态。现有的许多无线电设备，尤其是军事应用中的无线电设备都具备这种能力，但传统路由协议却忽略了这一点。其次，基于跨层信息，CLUN-LSR 在路由过程中增加了高效路由功能，包括使用两跳邻居节点数作为路由选择的度量。第三，CLUN-LSR 选择不在干扰区域内的节点，从而减少网络中断，提高数据传输效率。所有表驱动路由协议都可以应用 CLUN-LSR 以获得更好的性能。我们将 CLUN-LSR 应用于现有的路由协议 MP-OLSR，并使用商业网络模拟器进行了仿真。仿真结果表明，与现有的表驱动路由方法相比，我们的创新路由协议表现出更优越的性能，尤其是在数据包传输速率和总体吞吐量方面。
