Abstract
Various embodiments include methods of managing network communication of a drone. The methods may include determining which type of at least two types of communications to classify a communication designated for transmission to or from the drone. The at least two types of communications may include operational safety communications and payload communications. A communication service configuration may be assigned based on the determined type of communications. The communications to or from the drone may be transmitted using the assigned communication service configuration.
Claims28
A method of managing network communication of a drone, comprising:
- determining a type of a communication designated for transmission to or from the drone, wherein the determined type of the communication is one of at least two types of communications including a first type of communications for operational safety communications and a second type of communications for payload communications;
- assigning a communication service configuration based on the determined type of the communication;
- and
- transmitting the communication designated for transmission to or from the drone using the assigned communication service configuration.
A computing device, comprising:
- means for determining a type of a communication designated for transmission to or from a drone, wherein the determined type of the communication is one of at least two types of communications including a first type of communications for operational safety communications and a second type of communications for payload communications;
- means for assigning a communication service configuration based on the determined type of the communication;
- and
- means for transmitting the communication designated for transmission to or from the drone using the assigned communication service configuration.
A computing device, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate with a drone;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured with processor-executable instructions to:
- determine a type of a communication designated for transmission to the drone, wherein the determined type of the communication is one of at least two types of communications including a first type of communications for operational safety communications and a second type of communications for payload communications;
- assign a communication service configuration based on the determined type of the communication;
- and
- transmit the communication designated for transmission via the transceiver to the drone using the assigned communication service configuration.
A drone, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate with a remote computing device;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured with processor-executable instructions to:
- determine a type of a communication designated for transmission from the drone, wherein the determined type of the communication is one of at least two types of communications including a first type of communications for operational safety communications and a second type of communications for payload communications;
- assign a communication service configuration based on the determined type of the communication;
- and
- transmit the communication designated for transmission via the transceiver to the remote computing device using the assigned communication service configuration.
