Popis: Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) communication with severe loss always leads to performance degradation in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) payload communication. In this paper, a UAV NLOS communication scheme based on single-carrier frequency domain equalization with cyclic prefix and cyclic suffix (CP/CS-SC-FDE) is designed. First, the reasons behind the generation of later intersymbol interference (LISI) in UAV NLOS communication are investigated. Then, the frame structure of conventional single-carrier frequency domain equalization with cyclic prefix (CP-SC-FDE) is improved, and the UAV NLOS communication frame structure based on cyclic prefix (CP) and cyclic suffix (CS) is designed. Furthermore, a channel estimation algorithm applicable to this scheme is proposed. The numerical results show that this UAV communication scheme can eliminate intersymbol interference (ISI) in NLOS communication. Compared with the conventional CP-SC-FDE system, this scheme can achieve excellent performance in the Rayleigh channel and other standard NLOS channels. In the CP/CS-SC-FDE system, the BER result is similar to that under ideal synchronization.
