Title
Delay Estimation of UAV Communications Based on Fountain Codes
Abstract
Fountain codes are promising for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications with intermittent transmission links caused by high UAV mobility. However, it is challenging to estimate the transmission delay of UAV communication systems with fountain codes due to the uncertainty of the coding rate and the dynamic channel quality. In this paper, we propose a delay estimation method based on a joint buffer-decoder queuing model for UAV communication systems with LT codes, and show that the complexity of the proposed delay estimation method can be reduced from O(n <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> ) to O(n <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ). Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed delay estimation method.
