[0050] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, first Figure 2 The communication system shown in the figure is used as an example to describe in detail the communication system applicable to the embodiments of the present application.

[0051] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system to which the method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applicable. Figure 2 As shown, the control system includes: a command and dispatch platform and an operator network.

[0052] The command and dispatch platform can provide application-related services, which can also be called AF, such as the third-party AF in the above-mentioned 5GS.

[0053] The operator network may be the AN+CN in the above-mentioned 5GS, and the operator network referred to below in the embodiments of the present application may be a network element in the AN / CN.

[0054] For ease of understanding, the following will combine Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a specific description of the sky-ground integrated command and dispatch method based on the patrol scenario.

[0055] For example, Figure 3 The flowchart of the sky-ground integrated command and dispatch platform and dispatch method based on the patrol scene provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows. The sky-ground integrated command and dispatch platform and dispatch method based on the patrol scene are executed by the command and dispatch platform

[0056] The process is as follows:

[0057] S301, the command and dispatch platform obtains the signal quality of the engineering area from the operator network.

[0058] The signal quality of the engineering area is the quality of the signal provided by the ground network in the operator's network located in the engineering area, that is, the signal provided by the ground base station (such as gNB).

[0059] The command and dispatch platform can send relevant information about the project area to the operator network by requesting the operator network to open network capabilities. For example, the relevant information about the project area may include the latitude and longitude information of the project area, as well as the altitude level information of the project area. The altitude level information of the project area can be used to indicate multiple different altitudes, which are the altitudes at which drones fly. That is, the route of drone inspection can choose multiple designated altitudes, rather than randomly selecting or manually controlling them. This can prevent the flight of drones from affecting or even harming the construction.

[0060] Specifically, the command and dispatch platform, as a third-party application function (AF), can send a network capability opening request to the operator network (such as the NEF network element in the operator network). The network capability opening request may include relevant information about the project area, and the network capability opening request may also include a request element for requesting the opening of signal quality, an indication element for indicating the granularity of the signal quality opening, and information about the opening time period. The element in the network capability opening request can be delivered to the access network device whose service cell covers the project area in the operator network.

[0061] The operator network (such as access network equipment) can grid the engineering area into M*N grids according to the granularity of the signal quality open indicated by the indication cell. M and N are integers greater than 1, and the values ​​of M and N satisfy: if the granularity of the signal quality open indicated by the indication cell is finer, the values ​​of M and N are larger. Specifically, the multiple heights are K heights, K is an integer greater than 1, and the granularity of the signal quality open indicated by the indication cell is applicable to K heights, that is, the granularity of the signal quality open at K heights is the same. Alternatively, the granularity of the signal quality open indicated by the indication cell is at least partially different K, and the granularity of the i-th signal quality open among the K signal quality open granularities is applicable to the i-th height among the K heights. On this basis, the engineering area is gridded into M*N grids at the i-th height, specifically, the engineering area is gridded into Mi*Ni grids at the i-th height, and the number of grids gridded in the engineering area at different heights is different. For example, i traverses from 1 to K, and the granularity of the i-th signal quality openness among the K signal quality openness satisfies the following relationship: the granularity first changes from coarse granularity to fine granularity, and then from fine granularity to coarse granularity, or the granularity first changes from fine granularity to coarse granularity, and then from coarse granularity to fine granularity. In other words, since the inspection methods of drones can be roughly divided into two types, one is the inspection mainly at lower altitudes and higher altitudes, then the granularity can first change from fine granularity to coarse granularity, and then from coarse granularity to fine granularity, that is, the grids at lower altitudes and higher altitudes are relatively fine, and the measurement of signal quality can be more accurate. The other is the inspection mainly at medium altitudes, then the granularity can first change from coarse granularity to fine granularity, and then from fine granularity to coarse granularity, that is, the grids at medium altitudes are relatively fine, and the measurement of signal quality can be more accurate.

[0062] Correspondingly, the access network device can traverse i from 1 to K according to the above information, and perform targeted signal measurements, such as indicating that the terminal located in the corresponding grid at the corresponding height feeds back the signal strength of its location, that is, the signal quality. The access network device can take the weighted average of the signal qualities returned by all terminals located in the same grid at the same height as the signal quality of the grid at the height. In this way, the access network device can measure the signal quality of the engineering area, such as the signal quality of the engineering area at each of the multiple heights. The signal quality of the engineering area at each of the multiple heights is specifically the signal quality of the engineering area at the i-th height during the open time period, i traverses 1 to K, more specifically the signal quality of each of the M*N grids at the i-th height of the engineering area during the open time period. The access network device can return the signal quality of the engineering area at each of the multiple heights to the NEF network element.

[0063] S302, the command and dispatch platform determines the low signal area on the inspection flight route of the UAV in the engineering area according to the inspection flight route of the UAV and the signal quality of the engineering area.

[0064] Among them, the drone's inspection flight route is a flight route set for the inspection project area.

[0065] The command and dispatch platform can determine the grid set #j where the inspection flight route of the drone passes through the jth height among the P heights, based on the P heights among the K heights passed by the inspection flight route of the drone and the signal quality of the engineering area, where P is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to K, and j traverses from 1 to P. The command and dispatch platform can determine the grid subset #j whose signal quality is less than the signal quality threshold from the grid set #j, and when j traverses from 1 to P, there are a total of P grid subsets, wherein the P grid subsets are the low signal areas on the inspection flight route of the drone in the engineering area, and each grid subset in the P grid subsets is the low signal area of ​​the inspection flight route of the drone at a height corresponding to the grid subset.

[0066] S303, the command and dispatch platform configures the drone to adopt a dual connection mode in the low signal area according to the location distribution of the low signal area.

[0067] Dual connection mode means that the drone acts as a terminal (or a user, a SIM card) and establishes connections (3GPP access connections) with at least two of the ground access network equipment, air access network equipment (such as high-altitude drones, high-altitude balloons, etc.), or satellite access network equipment (such as low-orbit / medium-orbit satellites). The service cells of the ground access network equipment, air access network equipment, and satellite access network equipment all cover low-signal areas.

[0068] Method 1:

[0069] For the jth height among P heights, j traverses from 1 to P, and the command and dispatch platform determines whether the position distribution of multiple grids in grid subset #j is discrete or concentrated. For example, the command and dispatch platform can cluster multiple grids according to the position distribution of multiple grids in grid subset #j (a conventional clustering algorithm can be used to cluster each grid as a point). If multiple grids are clustered to obtain multiple clusters, or multiple grids are clustered to obtain one cluster, and the number of isolated points is greater than or equal to the number threshold, the command and dispatch platform determines that the position distribution of multiple grids in grid subset #j is discrete. If multiple grids are clustered to obtain one cluster, or multiple grids are clustered to obtain one cluster, and the number of isolated points is less than the number threshold, the command and dispatch platform determines that the position distribution of multiple grids in grid subset #j is concentrated.

[0070] On this basis, if the positions of multiple grids in grid subset #j are distributed discretely, the drone is configured to establish connections with the ground access network device and the satellite access network device at the same time during the time period when it passes through grid subset #j (for example, the time period when the drone passes through grid subset #j can be calculated based on the time when the drone starts patrolling and the drone flies at a preset speed). The service cell of the satellite access network device is large, and one service cell can basically cover a discrete area. In this way, the drone does not need to switch cells to reduce overhead. If the positions of multiple grids in grid subset #j are distributed concentratedly, the drone is configured to establish connections with the ground access network device and the air access network device at the same time during the time period when it passes through grid subset #j, so as to obtain a higher communication rate through the air access network device. That is, method 1 is to determine the corresponding low signal area at each altitude, and then configure it to establish dual connections in a time-passing manner.

[0071] Method 2:

[0072] The command and dispatch platform can merge P grid subsets in the height direction to obtain a grid collection. For example, taking the case where the granularity of grids at different heights is the same, among the P grid subsets, grid subset #1 at height H1 includes grid #1, grid #2, and grid #3, and grid subset #2 at height H2 includes grid #3, grid #4, and grid #5. The numbers of the grids in different grid subsets, such as grid #X, are the same, such as grid #2 in grid subset #1 and grid #2 in grid subset #2, which means that they are grids at different heights above the same physical location. In this way, grids at different heights above the same physical position are fused, and grid #3 at height H1 and grid #3 at height H2 are regarded as one grid, that is, grid #3 at height H1 and height H2, and the grid collection is grid #1, grid #2, grid #3, grid #4, and grid #5. That is, the low-signal area is fused in the vertical direction of space, so that the low-signal area does not distinguish between heights, but is a low-signal area at the entire height. This can greatly improve the control redundancy and thus ensure the stability of flight control.

[0073] In this way, the command and dispatch platform can determine whether the position distribution of multiple grids in the grid collection is discrete or concentrated. Among them, the command and dispatch platform determines whether the position distribution of multiple grids in the grid collection is discrete or concentrated, including: the command and dispatch platform clusters multiple grids according to the position distribution of multiple grids in the grid collection; if multiple grids are clustered to obtain multiple clusters, or multiple grids are clustered to obtain one cluster, and the number of isolated points is greater than or equal to the number threshold, then the command and dispatch platform determines that the position distribution of multiple grids in the grid collection is discrete; if multiple grids are clustered to obtain one cluster, or multiple grids are clustered to obtain one cluster, and the number of isolated points is less than the number threshold, then the command and dispatch platform determines that the position distribution of multiple grids in the grid collection is concentrated. If the position distribution of multiple grids in the grid collection is discrete, the drone is configured to establish a connection with the ground access network device and the satellite access network device at the same time in the distribution area of ​​the grid collection, and the distribution area of ​​the grid collection is a complete area covering the grid collection; if the position distribution of multiple grids in the grid collection is concentrated, the drone is configured to establish a connection with the ground access network device and the air access network device at the same time in the distribution area of ​​the grid collection. In other words, unlike method 1, since method 2 performs vertical spatial fusion, it can be configured to establish dual connections in a position-based manner, that is, regardless of height, as long as the position mapped to the ground enters a low-signal area, a dual connection is established.

[0074] In summary, when the command and dispatch platform obtains the signal quality of the engineering area from the operator network, it can determine the low-signal area on the UAV's patrol flight route in the engineering area based on the UAV's patrol flight route and the signal quality of the engineering area. In this way, the UAV can be configured to adopt a dual connection mode in the low-signal area, such as the UAV simultaneously establishing connections with at least two of the ground access network equipment, the air access network equipment, or the satellite access network equipment, so as to improve the stability of data transmission through dual connections, thereby improving the stability of UAV control through more stable data transmission, thereby improving the flight control stability of the UAV when inspecting the construction site.
