Abstract

The rapid proliferation of low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications has made autonomous identification technology critical for flight safety and collaborative operations. In this paper, we propose and systematically analyze an autonomous identification scheme based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. We formulate a comprehensive system model that integrates link budget, packet collision, identification success probability, and power consumption. By incorporating safety interval constraints and a three-channel integrated reception probability, we employ an exhaustive search algorithm to optimize monitoring strategy parameters, thereby achieving an optimal trade-off between the Recognition Success Rate (RSR) and power consumption. Simulation results indicate that, at a PHY 1 Mbps rate, the optimal monitoring strategy theoretically approaches the Target Level of Safety (TLS) requirements for civil UAVs under the defined model assumptions, with a power consumption of 19.24 mW and an Average First Identification Delay (AFID) of 105 ms. Furthermore, simulation analysis verifies the scheme’s feasibility under dynamic topology, interference, and multi-UAV scenarios, providing a solid theoretical and technical reference for the practical implementation of autonomous UAV identification.
