METHOD IMPLEMENTED BY WIRELESS TRANSMITTER / RECEIVER AND WIRELESS TRANSMITTER / RECEIVER DEVICE

Abstract

The proposed method, equipment, and system are capable of being implemented in wireless transceiver devices (WTRUs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and / or UAV control devices (UAV-C). By a representative method, a UAV can switch from the first Command and Control (C2) communication link between the UAV and the first UAV-C to a second C2 communication link for C2 communications. This method can determine, using the WTRU, to switch C2 communications from the first C2 communication link to the second C2 communication link based on C2 communication switching conditions; send, using the WTRU to a C2 control entity, a message indicating the communication path used to determine the switch from the first C2 communication link to the second C2 communication link; receive, using the WTRU from the C2 control entity, information indicating a switch; and convert, using WTRU, the C2 communications from the first C2 communication line to the second C2 communication line.
