When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with aspects of the disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

A drone is an unmanned aircraft that can be controlled by radio remote control equipment. A drone is the abbreviation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). From a technical perspective, UAVs can be divided into several types: unmanned fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned vertical take-off and landing aircraft, unmanned airships, unmanned helicopters, unmanned multi-rotor aircraft and unmanned paragliders. From the perspective of UAV size, UAVs can be divided into several types such as micro UAVs, light UAVs, small UAVs, medium UAVs and large UAVs.

With the rapid development of drone technology, the cost of drones is reduced and the functions of drones are becoming more and more perfect, the fields of drone applications are becoming wider and wider. UAV+industrial applications are the mainstream of inorganic applications. Drones are currently widely used in fields such as aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, micro-selfies, express transportation, news reporting, power inspections, and film and television shooting.

The use of drones is often controlled and/or managed. For example, for different types of drones and/or drones in different application fields, there may be restrictions on the flying height of the drone, the area where the drone is allowed to fly, and the permissions for the drone. Factors such as the time period during which the drone is flown and/or the weather conditions that allow the drone to fly are managed and/or controlled differently. In order to efficiently control and/or manage the drone, the drone can be connected to a cellular communication network. Due to the wide coverage of the cellular communication network, the cellular communication network can be used to control the drone efficiently and flexibly. and/or management.

For solutions that use point-to-point communication to configure UAV 101, the communication distance of point-to-point communication is often shorter. For example, a common point-to-point communication method is wifi communication, and the distance of wifi communication is often only tens of meters or hundreds of meters. Therefore, the UAV 101 can only be configured after approaching the UAV 101 at a close distance. The efficiency and flexibility of configuring the UAV 101 are far inferior to the solution of configuring the UAV 101 through the cellular communication network provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. .

For example, the drone 101 can obtain M types of identity information, where M is an integer greater than 0, and sends first information indicating the M types of identity information to the base station 102 . The base station 102 determines the M types of identity information based on the first information, and configures which identity information the drone 101 needs to send from the M types of identity information. For the identity information that needs to be sent, the base station 102 configures the sending method for the drone 101 to send the identity information and/or the sending conditions for sending the identity information, and/or the base station 102 can configure the take-off time for the drone 101 to take off. condition.

These situations include the following situations: after the drone accesses the base station, the drone sends the first information to the base station; optionally, during movement, the drone leaves the base station that the drone has accessed. When the coverage range is determined and a new base station is selected to be accessed, the first information is sent to the new base station. Alternatively, the drone periodically sends the first information to the base station. Alternatively, the drone sends the first information to the base station when triggered by the base station. For example, the base station sends a request to the drone to ask whether the drone has certain/specific identity information. In response to receiving the request sent by the base station, the drone can inform the base station of the identity information that can be sent to the base station. . Of course, there may be other situations that cause the drone to send the first information to the base station, which will not be listed one by one here.

In step 301, the drone determines M types of identity information that the drone can obtain and send, obtains first information indicating the M types of identity information, and sends the first information to the base station.

The corresponding identification information is used as the first identification information.

Optionally, the base station may also store a corresponding relationship between the identity information set and the identification information. In the corresponding relationship between the identity information set and the identification information stored in the base station, there is a record including the first identity information set and the first identification information.

For example, the UAV and the base station agree in advance on the corresponding relationship between the identity information set and the identification information, and respectively store the corresponding relationship between the agreed identity information set and the identification information. Alternatively, the third-party device configures the corresponding relationship between the identity information set and the identification information on the drone and the base station respectively.

For example, see the corresponding relationship between the identity information set and the identification information shown in Table 1 below. Both the drone and the base station store the corresponding relationship between the identity information set and the identification information as shown in Table 1. And, assuming that the drone determines 8 kinds of identity information, the 8 kinds of identity information are composed of the first identity information set.

After determining the M types of identity information, the drone determines the M bits corresponding to the M types of identity information in the first map, sets the values of the M bits to the first value, and sets the M bits to the first value. The value of each bit in the bitmap except the M bits is set to the second value, and the first information is obtained.

Optionally, the first value is a value of 1 and the second value is a value of 0; or, the first value is a value of 0 and the second value is a value of 1.

Referring to Figure 5, it is assumed that the values of the first bit, the second bit, the third bit, the fourth bit and the fifth bit in the second information are all the first value "1", and the value of the sixth bit is "1". The values of the first bit, the seventh bit and the eighth bit are all the second value "0". After receiving the second information as shown in Figure 5, the drone identifies the first bit, the second bit, the third bit, and the fourth bit whose value is the first value "1" from the second information. bit and the fifth bit, based on the five bits, the five identity information corresponding to the five bits are determined. The five identity information are the equipment identification of the drone, the location information of the drone, and the altitude of the drone.

The altitude information currently obtained by the drone is "100 meters", and the information content of the altitude information sent to the base station is "100 meters". For another example, assume that the N types of identity information include the movement speed of the drone. The current movement speed obtained by the drone is "50m/s", and the information content of the movement speed sent to the base station is "50m/s".

In this way, when the drone obtains the information content of the first identity information, it broadcasts the information content of the first identity information to the base station based on the broadcast method of the first identity information.

Optionally, the broadcast method may be periodic broadcast or real-time broadcast. For example, when the first identity information is the equipment identification of the drone, the first identity information may be sent by periodically broadcasting the equipment identification of the drone. For another example, the first identity information is the location information of the drone, and the first identity information may be sent by broadcasting the location information of the drone in real time.

Optionally, regarding the sending condition of the first identity information, when the drone obtains the information content of the first identity information and meets the sending condition, it broadcasts the information content of the first identity information to the base station.

For example, assume that the first identity information is the movement speed of the drone, and the sending condition of the first identity information is to send it when the movement speed exceeds a specified threshold. In this way, when the drone obtains its own movement speed, if the movement speed exceeds the specified threshold, the drone's movement speed will be broadcast to the base station.
