Communication performance optimization of spaceborne/airborne radar networks

In this paper, we investigate communication performance optimization problem of spaceborne/airborne Radar networks. A model of spaceborne/airborne Radar networks with propagation delay and power constraints is given first. A Quadric Lyapunov function based Algorithm (QLA) is then proposed aiming at greedily minimizing an expression containing Lyapunov drift. We prove two main conclusions, one is that the communication network of spaceborne/airborne Radars under QLA is stable, the other is that power constraints are met. Upper bounds of queue backlogs and a lower bound of utility function are established through theoretical analysis, and how propagation delay jeopardizes utility performance is also demonstrated. Simulation of QLA is carried out in a scenario consists of 6 nodes, and results are in accordance with theoretical conclusions.
