US 12,184,388 B2 · Abnormal offline state determining method and related apparatus

Abstract

This application discloses an abnormal offline state determining method and a related apparatus. The method includes: An access and mobility management function network element (AMF) obtains location information when an uncrewed aerial vehicle enters or leaves an offline state. If a location indicated by the location information is outside a target offline area, the AMF marks a state of the uncrewed aerial vehicle as an abnormal offline state. The AMF sends a state identifier of the abnormal offline state to an unmanned aircraft system traffic management network element (UTM). Therefore, the location information when the uncrewed aerial vehicle enters or leaves the offline state is used to determine whether the uncrewed aerial vehicle is in the abnormal offline state, so that accuracy of determining the abnormal offline state of the uncrewed aerial vehicle can be improved to some extent.

Dependent claims

An abnormal offline state determining method, wherein the method comprises:

a first determining, by an access and mobility management function network element (AMF), whether an uncrewed aerial vehicle enters or leaves an offline state;
obtaining, by the AMF, location information of the uncrewed aerial vehicle when the uncrewed aerial vehicle enters or leaves the offline state;
a second determining, by the AMF, whether a location of the uncrewed aerial vehicle indicated by the location information is outside a target offline area in which the uncrewed aerial vehicle is allowed to enter the offline state;
and
when the first determining indicates that the uncrewed aerial vehicle enters or leaves the offline state and the second determining indicates that the location of the uncrewed aerial vehicle indicated by the location information is outside the target offline area:
marking, by the AMF, a state of the uncrewed aerial vehicle as an abnormal offline state;
and
sending, by the AMF, a state identifier of the abnormal offline state to an unmanned aircraft system traffic management network element (UTM).

5 more elements

An abnormal offline state determining method, wherein the method comprises:

receiving, by an unmanned aircraft system traffic management network element (UTM), a state identifier that is of an abnormal offline state and that is sent by an access and mobility management function network element (AMF), wherein the state identifier of the abnormal offline state indicates that when an uncrewed aerial vehicle enters or leaves an offline state, a location of the uncrewed aerial vehicle indicated by location information of the uncrewed aerial vehicle is outside a target offline area in which the uncrewed aerial vehicle is allowed to enter the offline state;
and
storing, by the UTM, the state identifier of the abnormal offline state.

A network device comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store an executable instruction that, when the network device operates as an access and mobility management function network element (AMF), causes the processor to execute the executable instruction stored in the memory so that the network device performs operations comprising:

a first determining whether an uncrewed aerial vehicle enters or leaves an offline state;
obtaining location information of the uncrewed aerial vehicle when the uncrewed aerial vehicle enters or leaves the offline state;
a second determining whether a location of the uncrewed aerial vehicle indicated by the location information is outside a target offline area in which the uncrewed aerial vehicle is allowed to enter the offline state;
and
when the first determining indicates that the uncrewed aerial vehicle enters or leaves the offline state and the second determining indicates that the location of the uncrewed aerial vehicle indicated by the location information is outside the target offline area:
marking a state of the uncrewed aerial vehicle as an abnormal offline state;
and
sending a state identifier of the abnormal offline state to an unmanned aircraft system traffic management network element (UTM).
