Navigation data transfer in a quadrotor formation via a binary communication channel with adaptive coding and data erasure

The paper addresses the study on the influence of navigation data transfer in the quadcopter group on the quality of multiagent system performance. The task of group flight for the purpose of monitoring the earth's surface is considered as a group mission. To transmit navigation data via a binary communication channel, the adaptive coding procedure is used. In this paper, different data rates are considered, and possible data loss during transmission is also assumed. The paper presents numerical simulation results, which are compared with the available theoretical statements.
