Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for reconstructing UAV formation communication topology based on minimum cost arborescence, the method comprising: monitoring broadcast communication channel, and judging whether communication failure occurs in UAV in formation; modifying formation communication diagram according to the type of communication failure when communication failure occurs in the UAV; calculating minimum cost arborescence of modified formation communication diagram, and reconstructing UAV formation communication topology according to calculation results.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to technology for classifying a node in a network. Content published from one or more content producers in the network is received by the node comprising sufficient storage and processing capability to store and process the content received. It is then determined whether the node can receive additional content that is published for one or more other nodes in the network. A metric is calculated for paths from the node to each of the one or more content producers in the network in response to determining that additional content can be received by the node. The node is classified as a home node in the network in response to determining that the metric for paths of the node is shorter than a metric for paths of each of the one or more other nodes in the network.
