The 4G and 5G network co-operation with aerial vehicles

The 4G and 5G network co-operation with aerial vehicles

The ground-based data networks are not always suitable to cooperate with aerial vehicles. The problem with compatible is causing, because of the land-based data networks need different kind of roaming protocol than land-based communication equipment. The roaming means the ability to change the relay station automatically, and the system works that the network is locating the mobile device, and when the other support station turns to dominant, the station would be changed.

And the aerial vehicle has problems that the roaming must happen faster than with the ground vehicles, and the direction or angle of the vehicle is different. The normal data network is created for supporting the ground-based system, and the aerial vehicles can be in the shadow if they are flying over some areas.

The supporting- or relay stations of the network are normally in the places, where is straight visibility to the ground. But to the air is limits. If the station is below the eaves, the metal structure can cover the drone, which flies in the line where is a metal structure in the straight line between the support station and drone. When we are thinking about the possibility to control drones from another side of Earth by using civilian internet that is possible.

But in this case, the drone must equip with the program, which allows it to look for the signals independently if the network signal is gone. Or the drones can work in pairs or groups, where one drone is always keeping contact with the network, and then that drone would deliver the control signals from the internet to other drones.

There are many problems with that kind of thing. But if the quadcopters would be equipped with TERCOM and DSMAC-type systems, they could operate independently in the city areas. In this case, the aircraft or satellite can create the 3D-map image and the drones can use Lidars or other types of systems to observe the area.

Drone swarms and intelligent inertial systems

Some of those drones might be equipped with gyroscopes or inertial navigation systems. That system would record the track, and then it would fly back to the position, where it had last time the control signal. when we are thinking about the intelligent inertial system, the system needs only the gyroscope. And the other data that the system needs would get from propellers.

The system simply calculates how many times the propellers have been rotated during the time unit, and then the system would just fly back the movements, what it has taken. And then the computer just rotates the propellers as many times as it has been rotated during that distance.

So there is not necessarily needed the acceleration sensors at all. The acceleration sensor would be ineffective if it is used in the low-speed flight. But if we are using a laser-based system, what meters the range to the walls and other barriers, that kind of system can calculate the acceleration very effectively even in the low-speed flying.

Lidar is a very good tool for that purpose because it can use as the altimeter. But also normal, small size radar or sonar, what is similar, what is used in the mobile telephones for focusing cameras can be used for that thing. That system can also scan the ground and buildings.

Multiple sensors guarantee the success of the mission, but every drone must not have the same kind of sensor pack. And artificial intelligence makes those swarms very flexible.

The CCD-cameras can look at the environment by using the normal, and infrared frequencies. And those drones can also connect their computers to one bigger entirety, which makes it possible to connect their capacities to run those programs. The drones can also communicate with the satellite by using the GPS and satellite communication sets.

The thing is that only one drone must have the satellite communication set with a high-speed modem. That is so-called "master drone", what would deliver missions to the other and simpler drones. The thing is that the master drones would observe simpler drones, and if some of those "slave drones" would be lost contact, the master sends the relay drone to see, what is happening.

So, in this case, the drone swarm might have many types of members. Only a couple of members have all systems, and the others, what is operating in the "danger zone", where they can be damaged might be simpler. And those simpler drones might be located by using RFID-based triangular metering systems. That helps to keep the price of those systems lower.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som...

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t...

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between  USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull.  The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting ...
