SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLIGHT MANAGEMENT OF A FLEET OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18325415 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLIGHT MANAGEMENT OF A FLEET OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for managing the flight of a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using a ground station. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves receiving network data from a network operator at the ground station.
  • It checks if sensor data from a UAV is received within a predefined time duration from the last reception of sensor data.
  • A quality of communication (QoC) value is generated to assess the communication between the ground station and the UAV.
  • The method determines if the QoC value falls within a predefined range.
  • If the QoC value is outside the range, an alternate communication channel is established between the ground station and the UAV.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • UAV fleet management: This method can be used to efficiently manage the flight of multiple UAVs, ensuring reliable communication and timely reception of sensor data.
  • Remote monitoring and surveillance: The technology can be applied in situations where UAVs are used for monitoring and surveillance purposes, such as in security operations or environmental monitoring.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Communication reliability: By monitoring the reception of sensor data and assessing the quality of communication, this method helps ensure reliable and uninterrupted communication between the ground station and the UAVs.
  • Timely data reception: The method checks if sensor data is received within a predefined time duration, allowing for prompt data analysis and decision-making.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved fleet management: The method enables efficient management of UAV fleets by ensuring reliable communication and timely data reception.
  • Enhanced data analysis: By facilitating timely data reception, the technology allows for quicker analysis and decision-making based on the sensor data received from the UAVs.
  • Alternate communication channel: The ability to establish an alternate communication channel when the QoC value is outside the predefined range helps maintain communication even in challenging or unreliable network conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for flight management of a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is provided. The method includes receiving, by a ground station, network data from at least one network operator and determining whether sensor data associated with a UAV is received from the UAV within a predefined time duration from an instance of previous reception of the sensor data. Furthermore, the method includes generating a quality of communication (QoC) value associated with a communication between the ground station and the UAV and determining if the generated QoC value is within a predefined QoC range. Further, the method includes establishing a communication between the ground station and the UAV by using an alternate communication channel upon determining that the QoC value is outside the predefined QoC range.
