One of the ways to improve the efficiency of mobile and hybrid orbital-terrestrial communication networks used to transmit video stream frames when controlling unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in first person view (FPV) mode is to reduce the required bandwidth for each UAV. This requires ensuring a high degree of frame compression while maintaining their quality. To solve this problem, methods based on the application of variational autoencoders that perform frame encoding into the latent feature space of the neural network, quantization and lossless compression are used. The first part of this paper presents modified quantization/dequantization algorithms that facilitate more efficient compression of the latent feature space of a variational autoencoder.

Keywords: variational autoencoder, quantization, data compression, neural networks, latent space, video stream compression.

This study introduces an approach for constructing satellite communication networks based on artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency of satellite communication by dynamically predicting and prioritizing traffic. For transmission over satellite communication networks, user traffic is organized into queues with priority according to the assigned priority levels for each type of traffic. The first part of the article presents a detailed mathematical model for predicting, assigning priorities, and measuring the performance of the transmission of a satellite communication network. The comparative analysis demonstrates potential improvements over traditional traffic transfer approaches in terms of delay reduction.

The article deals with the issues of increasing the throughput capacity of the satellite communication network and evaluation of efficiency of application of different types of antenna systems on board of geostationary satellite-repeater for organization of exchange with unmanned aerial vehicles. A comparative analysis of the capacity of upstream and downstream communication channels using single- and multi-beam onboard antenna systems was carried out. The obtained results allowed to determine the areas of effective application of different variants of on-board radio complex in the case of using a single-beam antenna with one global beam and multi-beam antenna with several fixed narrow beams and with beam hopping.

STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL AUTOCORRELATION FUNCTIONS OF SPREAD SPECTRUM SIGNALS

Sh.D. Vu, Moscow Technical University of Communication and Informatics, postgraduate; vusydaomtusi@gmail.com

A technique has been developed for calculating and analyzing the statistical characteristics of the side peaks of two-dimensional and auto- and cross-correlation functions of spread spectrum signals, defined as surfaces in threedimensional space with coordinates corresponding to frequency and time. The essence and novelty of the technique is to establish for any two-dimensional correlation function of a signal the relationship between the values of its side peaks, as well as the parameters of their distribution function, with the power spectral density of the original signal, calculated from its implementation of finite duration, and, ultimately, with the characteristics of the side peaks of various one-dimensional autocorrelation functions of the pseudo-random sequence on the basis of which it is formed. The result of this approach is the established quantitative relationships between the statistical characteristics of the side peaks of the two-dimensional correlation function of a complex signal with the length of the pseudo-random sequence corresponding to it, depending on its type.

Keywords: two-dimensional autocorrelation functions, uncertainty function, side peaks of the autocorrelation function, M-sequences, Gold codes, statistical characteristics.
