[0024] represents the optimal communication angle at height The optimal communication angle refers to the angle at which the UAV communication signal can optimally cover the ground at a certain flight height, determined through the antenna radiation pattern. This parameter is of great significance for improving the communication coverage effect and reducing signal interference. The larger [angle parameter], the closer the signal is to the ground and the wider the coverage range (similar to the "signal projection area").
[0025] is the optimal flight angle of the UAV. This parameter is another core objective of the formula solution, representing the flight angle that the UAV should adopt in the optimal flight state. By optimizing the flight angle, the communication coverage effect and flight efficiency can be further improved; represents at the optimal flight height and angle The communication coverage area under this condition is an important indicator for evaluating the communication coverage effect of the drone in the optimal flight state. By calculating the communication coverage area, one can intuitively understand the communication coverage ability of the drone at different flight heights and angles.

It adopts an obstacle detection algorithm based on SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) to model the position of obstacles through point cloud data, and combines the Dijkstra algorithm to dynamically plan the obstacle avoidance path; when the detected distance to an obstacle is less than the safety threshold (such as 5 meters), the obstacle avoidance action (such as detouring, hovering, or ascending) is automatically triggered to ensure flight safety.
[0028] S300: Communication management module, including 5G communication equipment, satellite communication module, and intelligent spectrum management technology, which is used to dynamically adjust the communication frequency, avoid interference, and improve the communication rate and stability.
[0029] The communication management module contains 5G communication equipment, which provides high-speed and low-latency communication capabilities for the emergency communication high-altitude base station system for unmanned aircraft and can meet the large-capacity data transmission requirements in emergency communication scenarios; the system is also equipped with a satellite communication module, which ensures that the drone can maintain a stable communication connection through the satellite network even in remote areas or when the ground communication network is interrupted.

Once it detects that the primary link has failed or the signal quality has deteriorated, the module will immediately initiate the process of selecting and switching to the backup path. During the switching process, the multipath transmission module will consider multiple factors, such as the signal strength, stability, and transmission delay of the backup path, to ensure that the optimal backup path is selected for communication.
[0034] S302: The intelligent spectrum management optimization model is used to dynamically adjust the communication frequency, avoid interference, and improve the communication rate and stability. The following model is specifically used for optimization: where represents optimizing the frequency to maximize the objective function in the formula; represents the communication frequency, which is one of the key variables that the model needs to optimize. By selecting the appropriate communication frequency, interference can be reduced and communication quality can be improved; represents the transmit power of the th communication device. Transmit power is an important factor affecting communication distance and quality. By reasonably adjusting the transmit power, energy consumption can be reduced while ensuring communication quality; represents the antenna gain of the th communication device at frequency . The antenna gain determines the signal reception and transmission capabilities of the communication device at a specific frequency and is an important parameter for optimizing communication performance; represents the noise power spectral density. Noise is one of the main factors affecting communication quality. By understanding the noise characteristics, the communication frequency and transmit power can be better optimized to improve communication quality; Denotes the number of communication devices. In a multi-device communication scenario, interference between communication devices is an important issue. The model needs to consider the mutual influence of all communication devices to find the optimal communication frequency and transmission power; Denotes frequency The th communication device and the th communication device; Denotes the th communication device's transmission power at frequency ; Denotes the th communication device's antenna gain at frequency ;
[0035] This formula aims to maximize the overall performance of the communication system (such as communication rate, stability, etc.) by optimizing parameters such as communication frequency, transmission power, and antenna gain. During the optimization process, it is necessary to consider the interference between communication devices and the impact of noise. By adjusting these parameters, the optimal communication configuration can be found to reduce interference, improve communication quality, and meet emergency communication requirements.
[0036] S303: Redundant backup module, used to automatically enable backup devices when critical communication devices fail to ensure communication continuity.

Whether it is a ground base station or other drone base stations, as long as they are connected to the system, they can become part of the communication network, thus expanding the area of communication services. This expanded communication coverage is of great significance for dealing with emergencies and urgent situations because it can ensure reliable communication services in a wider area. In addition to expanding the communication coverage, the system can also improve the communication capacity through cooperative networking. In cases where a large amount of data needs to be processed or multiple users need to communicate simultaneously, the system can use the multi-point network structure to share the communication load.

This flexibility enables the system to maintain high-efficiency communication performance in various complex environments and provide stable and reliable communication services for users.
[0066] The system has automatic switching and fault recovery functions. The specific implementation methods include: The system monitors the status of the communication link in real time. Once a link fault is detected, it will automatically select and switch to the backup communication path to ensure the continuity and stability of communication; When a critical communication device fails, the system automatically enables the backup communication device through the built-in redundant backup mechanism to achieve rapid recovery from the failure and continuity of communication.
[0067] The system can continuously monitor the status of the current communication link, including key indicators such as signal strength and data transmission rate. Once a link failure is detected, such as signal interruption or a sharp drop in data transmission rate, the system will immediately activate the selection mechanism for the backup communication path. The system will automatically select an optimal backup communication path and quickly switch to this path to ensure that the continuity and stability of communication are not affected. The system is equipped with a redundant backup mechanism and has a backup design for critical communication devices. When a failure of a critical communication device is detected, such as damage or performance degradation of the communication device, the system will automatically identify and enable the backup communication device. By quickly switching to the backup device, the system can achieve rapid recovery from the failure, ensure the continuity of communication, and continue to provide high-quality communication services.
