A Two-Stage T-Norm–Choquet–OWA Resource Aggregator for Multi-UAV Cooperation: Theoretical Proof and Validation
Multi-UAV cooperative missions demand millisecond-level coordination across three key resource dimensions—battery energy, wireless bandwidth, and onboard computing power—where traditional Min or linearly weighted schedulers struggle to balance safety with efficiency. We propose a prediction-enhanced two-stage T-norm–Choquet–OWA resource aggregator. First, an LSTM-EMA model forecasts resource trajectories 3 s ahead; next, a first-stage T-norm (min) pinpoints the bottleneck resource, and a second-stage Choquet–OWA, driven by an adaptive interaction measure ϕ, elastically compensates according to instantaneous power usage, achieving a “bottleneck-first, efficiency-recovery” coordination strategy. Theoretical analysis establishes monotonicity, tight bounds, bottleneck prioritization, and Lyapunov stability, with node-level complexity of only O(1). In joint simulations involving 360 UAVs, the method holds the average round-trip time (RTT) at 55 ms, cutting latency by 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% relative to Min, DRL-PPO, single-layer OWA, and WSM, respectively. Jitter remains within 11 ms, the packet-loss rate stays below 0.03%, and residual battery increases by about 12% over the best heuristic baseline. These results confirm the low-latency, high-stability benefits of the prediction-based peak-shaving plus two-stage fuzzy aggregation approach for large-scale UAV swarms.
