Abstract:Time synchronization is a critical prerequisite for unmanned aerial vehicle ad hoc networks (UANETs) to facilitate navigation and positioning, formation control, and data fusion. However, given the dynamic changes in UANETs, improving the convergence speeds of distributed consensus time synchronization algorithms with only local information poses a major challenge. To address this challenge, this study first establishes a convex model on the basis of graph theory and relevant theories of random matrices to app… Show more
