Abstract

The present disclosure relates methods and apparatuses for transmitting information. The method is applicable to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The method includes: generating designated event information when the UAV has flight path information, where the designated event information indicates that the UAV has the flight path information; adding the designated event information to a first message; and sending the first message to a base station, such that the base station determines that the UAV has the flight path information according to the designated event information included in the first message.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of transmitting information, being applicable to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising:
generating designated event information when the UAV has flight path information, wherein the designated event information indicates that the UAV has the flight path information; adding the designated event information to a first message; and sending the first message to a base station such that the base station determines that the UAV has the flight path information according to the designated event information comprised in the first message.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the first message comprises first radio resource control (RRC) signaling, and the first RRC signaling comprises a first information element for carrying the designated event information.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein
the first information element comprises a flight path information available element; and the first RRC signaling comprises at least one of:
RRC connection reconfiguration complete signaling;
RRC connection reestablishment complete signaling;
RRC connection resume complete signaling; or
RRC connection setup complete signaling.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first message further comprises the flight path information.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a second message from the base station, wherein the second message comprises request information for obtaining the flight path information; generating a third message according to the second message, wherein the third message comprises the flight path information; and sending the third message to the base station such that the base station determines a flight path of the UAV according to the flight path information comprised in the third message.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein
the second message comprises second RRC signaling, and the second RRC signaling comprises a second information element for carrying the request information.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein
the second RRC signaling comprises terminal information request signaling, and the second information element comprises a flight path information request element.

8 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein
the third message comprises third RRC signaling, and the third RRC signaling comprises a third information element for carrying the flight path information.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein
the third RRC signaling comprises terminal information response signaling, and the third information element comprises a flight path information report element.

10 . A method of transmitting information, being applicable to a base station, comprising:
receiving a first message from a UAV, wherein the first message comprises designated event information, and the designated event information indicates that the UAV has flight path information; and determining that the UAV has the flight path information according to the designated event information.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein
the first message comprises first RRC signaling, and the first RRC signaling comprises a first information element for carrying the designated event information.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein
the first information element comprises a flight path information available element; and the first RRC signaling comprises at least one of:
RRC connection reconfiguration complete signaling;
RRC connection reestablishment complete signaling;
RRC connection resume complete signaling; or
RRC connection setup complete signaling.

13 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the first message further comprises the flight path information, and the method further comprises:
obtaining the flight path information from the first message; and determining a flight path of the UAV according to the flight path information.

14 . The method according to claim 10 , further comprising:
generating a second message when the flight path information is to be obtained, wherein the second message comprises request information for obtaining the flight path information; sending the second message to the UAV; receiving a third message from the UAV, wherein the third message comprises the flight path information; and determining a flight path of the UAV according to the flight path information.

15 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein
the second message comprises second RRC signaling, and the second RRC signaling comprises a second information element for carrying the request information.

16 . The method according to claim 15 , wherein
the second RRC signaling comprises terminal information request signaling, and the second information element comprises a flight path information request element.

17 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein
the third message comprises third RRC signaling, and the third RRC signaling comprises a third information element for carrying the flight path information.

18 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein the third RRC signaling comprises terminal information response signaling, and the third information element comprises a flight path information report element.

19 - 38 . (canceled)

39 . An apparatus for transmitting information, being applicable to a UAV, comprising:
a processor, and a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
generate designated event information when the UAV has flight path information, wherein the designated event information indicates that the UAV has the flight path information;
add the designated event information to a first message; and
send the first message to a base station, such that the base station determines that the UAV has the flight path information according to the designated event information comprised in the first message.

40 . An apparatus for transmitting information, being applicable to a base station, comprising:
a processor, and a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the method of transmitting information according to claim 10 .
