Improving Data Transmission Efficiency in UAV Networks Through Adaptive Coding

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have become widely used in civil and military applications such as surveillance, data collection, and cargo delivery. With the increasing use of this technology, there is a need for improved communication systems to ensure reliable and efficient data transmission. UAV networks face unique challenges due to dynamic motion, environmental interference, and energy and bandwidth limitations. The objective of this study is to propose an adaptive coding scheme using Rate-Compatible Punctured Coding (RCPC) technology, which assigns different coding rates to different data depending on their importance and channel conditions. The proposed scheme includes a mechanism to dynamically adjust the coding rates based on the change in link quality. This study demonstrates that adaptive coding can improve resource efficiency, reduce latency, and enhance communication reliability.
