Unmanned aerial vehicle control method and apparatus, base station and unmanned aerial vehicle

A method for controlling an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that is applicable to a UAV, the method comprising:

• sending an access message to a base station in a process of accessing the base station, wherein the access message includes a type identifier of the UAV, the type identifier indicates a type of the UAV, the access message is attach request signaling or a random access message, the type of the UAV comprises an unmanned fixed-wing aircraft, an unmanned vertical take-off and landing aircraft, an unmanned airship, an unmanned helicopter, an unmanned multi-rotor aircraft or an unmanned parawing aircraft, the access message is used to acquire target supervision strategy information matched with the type of the UAV based on which a control instruction is sent to the UAV, and the target supervision strategy information indicates a flight criterion of the UAV;
• receiving the control instruction from the base station;
• and
• controlling flight based on the control instruction,
• wherein the target supervision strategy information comprises reporting requirement information of the UAV and one or more of a maximum flight speed, a flight range, and a service expiration of the UAV, and the reporting requirement information indicates whether information reporting is required before the UAV is used;
• wherein the controlling flight based on the control instruction further comprises:
• executing a turning-off operation when receiving a flight ban instruction from the base station.

An apparatus for controlling an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that is applicable to a base station, the apparatus having a receiver, a transmitter, a memory, and a processor, the receiver, the transmitter, and the memory being connected with the processor respectively, and the memory is configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• controlling the receiver to receive an access message from a UAV, the access message including a type identifier of the UAV, the type identifier indicating a type of the UAV, the access message being attach request signaling or a random access message, and the type of the UAV comprising an unmanned fixed-wing aircraft, an unmanned vertical take-off and landing aircraft, an unmanned airship, an unmanned helicopter, an unmanned multi-rotor aircraft or an unmanned parawing aircraft;
• acquiring target supervision strategy information matched with the type of the UAV based on the access message, the target supervision strategy information indicating a flight criterion of the UAV;
• and
• controlling the transmitter to send a control instruction to the UAV based on the target supervision strategy information, the UAV being configured to control flight based on the control instruction,
• wherein the target supervision strategy information comprises reporting requirement information of the UAV and one or more of a maximum flight speed, a flight range, and a service expiration of the UAV, and the reporting requirement information indicates whether information reporting is required before the UAV is used;
• wherein the processor performs operations further comprising:
• determining whether the UAV has reported to a UAV supervision platform or not based on a unique identifier of the UAV when the reporting requirement information in the target supervision strategy information indicates that information reporting is required before the UAV is used;
• and
• controlling the transmitter to send a flight ban instruction to the UAV when the UAV has not reported to the UAV supervision platform.
