UAV Group Path Reporting Through Aggregated UE Reports
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In wireless communication systems involving swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), the duplication of flight path reports and high signaling overhead occur due to each UAV transmitting its path to a Base Station (BS), even when paths are similar, and some UAVs lack direct connections to the BS.
Innovation Solution
Implement a method where a primary UE in a group receives secondary path reports from secondary UEs, determines a group path report, and transmits it to the BS, optimizing path reporting by combining individual paths into a single report.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each UAV transmits its flight path to the BS, then mobility management is achieved, but signaling overhead increases and redundant reports occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges flight path reports from multiple UAVs into a single consolidated report. The BS receives one aggregated path report containing path information from multiple UAVs, rather than receiving separate reports from each UAV. This combining approach maintains mobility management capability while significantly reducing signaling overhead and eliminating redundant reports for UAVs following similar paths.
2Loss of information
If each UAV transmits its flight path to the BS, then path information is collected, but redundant reports occur when paths are similar
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines path information from multiple UAVs into a single consolidated report structure. The aggregated report includes path information from multiple UAVs in an organized manner, allowing the BS to collect comprehensive path data while avoiding redundant transmissions. This merging approach maintains complete path information collection while improving report efficiency by transmitting one consolidated report instead of multiple separate reports.

AI summary
The present application relates to a method and an apparatus for path reporting. One embodiment of the subject application provides a method performed by a primary user equipment (UE) in a UE group, comprising: receiving one or more secondary path reports, each including a secondary path of a corresponding secondary UE in the UE group; determining a group path report based on a primary path of the primary UE and/or the one or more secondary paths; and transmitting the group path report to a Base Station (BS).
