ABSTRACT

With the increasing applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in communications, surveillance, and emergency response, Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) have emerged as a flexible and efficient network architecture. However, the high mobility of nodes, dynamic topology changes and directional communication in FANETs pose significant challenges to wireless link modeling. We are addressing the limitations of traditional models in fully capturing the channel characteristics of directional antennas and three-dimensional dynamic environments. This paper proposes a wireless link modeling method based on directional communication of FANETs. The proposed method integrates 3D spatial topology computation and dynamic interference environment simulation to rigorously characterize link properties influenced by directional antenna gain, node mobility, and external interference. By leveraging MATLAB-generated bit error rate (BER) lookup tables, this framework enables efficient wireless link evaluation in simulated flight scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to traditional statistical models, our approach achieves comprehensive, scenario-based link performance evaluation, providing critical support for FANET optimization and performance enhancement.
