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.

The same systems can be used for scientific and military purposes.

The same systems can be used for scientific and military purposes.

If we think the system, what uses artificial intelligence for detecting animals and sending that data to the command center to another side of the Earth, we are forgetting that to the same system can input the data of the enemy ground vehicles, and the artificial intelligence can separate single vehicles from each other is a similar process than separating rhinos from each other.

The system can use seismic, image-based or acoustic systems to detect the similarities of the voices or other marks of animals. Originally those programs were created for police and submarine use for separating person or submarine from others. And that system can also separate other sounds like voices of animals or engines.

The problem with scientific instruments is that those devices are sometimes double-use solutions, which can be used for animal calculations but as well as observing enemy movements in some areas. There are limitations to exporting those systems, and selling them in some conflict areas is strictly prohibited.

One of the key things sets some challenges to use those systems in scientific purposes like animal observation because those very advanced systems allow us to use them also for military actions, like locating the enemy troops. The modern systems would communicate with the operator through the Internet and the satellite data-transmitters could allow them to operate far away from civilizes world, and the solar panels or some other green energy source can give them very good independence in their operations.

The systems might be quadcopters, what are using lightweight solar panels and why not fuel cells, what can use propane for giving energy to their sensors. Those remote-operated systems can travel from a place to another by using GPS navigation. And the operator can just give two points, and those sensors will travel from point A to point B. Or when those sensors would not need anymore, they can fly in the hovering helicopter VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Land) aircraft.

When that kind of system would deliver to some Third World nation, that could allow third-party persons to research those systems and copy them to their use. The thing is that the systems would need only communication satellites, that they can be operated from another side of Earth. This kind of technology is giving very many opportunities for many kinds of operators from the scientific and military world.

The multipurpose systems would be operated by using virtual interfaces, which makes easy to hide their command systems. The virtual user interface is the homepage, where that system would share data from its cameras and other devices. These kinds of things are used in normal surveillance cameras, so they can be connected to the drones by using similar connections with data and interface, and the system can be operated on the Intranet, what is similar with some open-source educational platform, where can be shared images and control devices like surveillance cameras.

So those systems and user interfaces are platform free, and they can be used by every device, which has access to the internet. This thing would interest many kinds of users. And when we are thinking about the double usage, those systems can detect as well as animals and recognize them by sound or profile. The data of enemy terrain vehicles can input to the same system, which mission is to detect rhinos, as I have written at the beginning of the text. And that thing would operate at the same time for both purposes.
