Solution Overview

Problem

Current interference measurement methods for unmanned aerial vehicle systems are inefficient, requiring long times to measure all frequency points and resulting in low accuracy and efficiency in determining the frequency point with minimal interference.

Innovation Solution

A method that synchronizes the unmanned aerial vehicle and remote control, divides each measurement period into scheduling slices to measure multiple frequency points, and uses RSSI values to determine the working frequency point by switching between frequency points and performing AGC recovery and smoothing filtering to identify the frequency point with minimal interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If one frequency point is measured per measurement period, then measurement accuracy is improved, but measurement time is excessively long and efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference measurement accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The measurement period is segmented into multiple scheduling slices, with each slice dedicated to measuring a specific frequency point. This allows multiple frequency points to be measured within a single measurement period, significantly reducing total measurement time while maintaining measurement accuracy through structured segmentation of the measurement process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously measures multiple frequency points by dividing the measurement period into scheduling slices, eliminating idle time between measurements. The unmanned aerial vehicle and remote control synchronize their measurement activities across frequency points, ensuring continuous useful action rather than sequential single-point measurement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

2Productivity

If multiple frequency points are measured simultaneously, then measurement efficiency is improved, but synchronization complexity between unmanned aerial vehicle and remote control increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference measurement efficiencyVSAvoidsynchronization complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs periodic measurement actions where the unmanned aerial vehicle and remote control synchronize their measurement activities at regular intervals. Each measurement period is divided into scheduling slices that occur periodically, allowing multiple frequency points to be measured in a coordinated manner while maintaining manageable synchronization through rhythmic, predictable measurement cycles

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The measurement periods and scheduling slices are pre-configured and synchronized between the unmanned aerial vehicle and remote control before actual measurement begins. This preliminary synchronization setup establishes the measurement framework in advance, reducing real-time coordination complexity while enabling efficient multi-frequency-point measurement execution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
