There are various unmanned aerial vehicle communication modes, including data link communication, mobile communication, satellite characteristics and the like. The data link is a main means for realizing data interaction between the ground control end and the unmanned aerial vehicle carrying end. However, data link communications are typically line-of-sight data links, subject to obstruction by obstructions, resulting in communication disruption.

In the step S3, when determining a communication base station that can be used for transmitting data and forwarding downlink data, the method includes:
when the unmanned aerial vehicle 4 is only in the communication range of the first communication base station 1, the first communication base station 1 is determined as a communication base station capable of transmitting data, and downlink data transmitted by the unmanned aerial vehicle 4 is forwarded to the ground station 3 through the first communication base station 1;

Specifically, the first communication base station 1 and the second communication base station 2 are connected through a wired connection mode, namely, the ground communication base station and the relay communication base station are directly connected through a wired connection mode, so that the problem that a plurality of relay communication base stations are required to be erected because of barrier blocking between the first communication base station 1 and the second communication base station 2 and direct communication cannot be realized is avoided; further, the problems of low communication connection efficiency caused by poor reliability of a wireless communication channel and high packet loss rate of multiple wireless forwarding are avoided. And if the first communication base station 1, the second communication base station 2 and the unmanned aerial vehicle 4 are all connected in a wireless manner, in order to avoid wireless signal interference, wireless channels need to be divided for uplink and downlink data of the first communication base station 1, the second communication base station 2 and the unmanned aerial vehicle 4, and bandwidth is occupied, so that information transmission efficiency is reduced.
In the step S4, when determining the communication base station that can be used to transmit data and forwarding downlink data, the method further includes:

the response rate and the receiving rate of the data packet are further obtained by recording the received reply times and response times by different communication base stations capable of transmitting data, and the transmitting rate of the data packet is obtained according to the response rate and the receiving rate of the data packet.
Further, when obtaining the response rate of the data packet, the method includes:
according to the response times and the transmitting number of the data packets, the response rate of the data packets is obtained, and the response rate is specifically shown as a formula 1:
YL＝YF(1)；
wherein YL is the response rate of the data packet, Y is the response times received by the data packet, and F is the transmitting number of the data packet;
when the receiving rate of the data packet is obtained, the method comprises the following steps:

SL＝YL*(1JS)(3)；
where SL is the packet's emissivity.

Compared with the evaluation of the bidirectional transmission quality of the link, the uplink unidirectional link selection method meets the requirement of uplink unidirectional link selection.

The following examples are further illustrative of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
Ground base station networking relay communication
Depending on local operators, the ground communication base station of the unmanned aerial vehicle is built, and a plurality of ground base stations are networked to form an empty low-altitude ATG (AirtoGround) network, which is shown in fig. 1. The unmanned aerial vehicle system combines background flight management and flyer roaming switching in a one-to-many mode with the ground base station, so that the working range of the unmanned aerial vehicle system is enlarged.
Cellular mobile radio networking relay communication
The unmanned aerial vehicle 4 deploys an onboard mobile cellular network access terminal system on the board, and a 4G/5G base station deployed on the ground is operated through the access network to form a low-altitude cellular mobile network, so that multi-scene application is realized.
With the increase of the coverage rate of the global 4G and 5G cellular mobile networks, the unmanned aerial vehicle 4 can support the online operation of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles 4 in a low-altitude environment in a low-cost, high-mobility and multi-scene mode, and also provides possibility for establishing a new special ground service network for the unmanned aerial vehicle 4.
Satellite communication
Satellite communication is characterized by a large communication range and is not easily affected by the terrain environment. In the range covered by the electric wave emitted by the communication satellite, any point on the earth can be communicated with the satellite, so that mobile internet service or private network service is obtained, and the influence of the curvature of the earth and the shielding of the terrain is not easy to cause.
The satellite communication system consists of an unmanned aerial vehicle satellite communication terminal, a communication satellite and an earth station. As shown in fig. 2, the unmanned aerial vehicle-mounted satellite communication terminal uses a communication satellite as a relay node for transmission, and transmits unmanned aerial vehicle data to an earth station. The satellite communication system is used as important relay communication, so that the transmission of the unmanned aerial vehicle task load acquisition video is realized, and the functions of remote operation and the like of a user on the unmanned aerial vehicle 4 and task equipment through the satellite communication system are ensured.
The innovation point of the invention is that: through a local operator, the ground communication base station of the unmanned aerial vehicle 4 is built, and the unmanned aerial vehicle 4 expands the flight range of the unmanned aerial vehicle 4 in a one-to-many mode; the ground base station can select the uplink node by judging the signal intensity of two ground communication base stations (the first communication base station 1 and the second communication base station 2) received by the unmanned aerial vehicle 4, and the whole flying process always keeps a one-to-one mode of the uplink node and the downlink node. As shown in fig. 3, the solid line is always transmitting data, and the two dotted lines are alternatively transmitting data. In order to prevent the bandwidth of the on-board end of the unmanned aerial vehicle 4 from becoming large, there is one and only one transmission path for uplink data. While downstream data is always transmitted.
As shown in fig. 4, the logic process: the unmanned aerial vehicle 4 on-board terminal updates the signal intensity value of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to the received ground nodes every second and then broadcasts the signal intensity value to each ground node through wireless; each ground node forwards the signal intensity value and the packet loss rate of the ground node relative to the onboard end to an application layer of the node 1, and the node 1 selects the node as the next second uplink node by judging the signal intensity value and the packet loss rate of each node in the application layer.
The effect is realized: the downlink data is received by two nodes at the same time, and then redundancy merging data is applied to the layer of node 1; the uplink data is transmitted by one node all the time, so that only the node with the best signal and the minimum packet loss rate is ensured to be used as the uplink node, the flight range is enlarged, the communication quality is improved, and the bandwidth occupancy rate is reduced.
The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, but any insubstantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
