Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems, particularly in unmanned aerial systems (UAS), face challenges in stably providing reliable and low-latency communication services, especially in high-speed aerial environments where link disconnections can occur due to poor channel states.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced to configure a command and control (C2) communication service link in a mobile communication system cooperating with a UAS, by setting a quality level using sensing information from user equipment (UE) and/or external server information, allowing for efficient determination and reconfiguration of communication links to maintain service quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional communication links are used in high-speed aerial environments, then the system is simple to operate, but link disconnections occur due to poor channel states

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelink connection reliabilityVSAvoidcommunication link configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic quality level adjustment based on real-time sensing information from the UE and external server data. The C2 communication service link configuration is dynamically modified according to changing channel conditions and operational requirements, allowing the system to adapt to high-speed aerial environments while maintaining connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where sensing information from the UE and external server information are continuously monitored to determine and adjust the quality level of the C2 communication service link. This feedback loop enables the system to respond to poor channel states and prevent link disconnections through proactive reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If quality level is determined using sensing information and external server information, then communication service reliability is improved, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication service reliabilityVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the information processing into distinct components: sensing information acquisition from the UE, external server information retrieval, quality level determination based on both information sources, and C2 communication service link configuration. This segmentation allows each component to process specific information types independently, reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining comprehensive reliability assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
