Definitions
- the invention lies in the field of networks and services implemented from remotely controlled vehicles, also called drones.
- the invention aims more
- Remotely controlled vehicles that is to say remotely piloted and more commonly called drones are increasingly used for uses as diverse as the analysis of transport infrastructure (railways, electricity network, road infrastructure ), the creation of maps or the delivery of products to customers.
- These drones most often of the aerial type, can also be wheeled vehicles or used at sea. They are characterized by the fact that the pilot is not on board the vehicle but at a distance from the vehicle, the latter being managed. using a control device.
- the drone can in fact be moved remotely, using the device by the pilot, or the drone can move independently, for example with a programmed movement, but under the control of the pilot ensuring the movement of the drone.
- drones are highly regulated, in particular due to safety concerns and the pilot, providing remote guidance of the drone, must now have the drone in his field of vision.
- drones currently in use communicate very little when in action, such as in flight.
- some drone control data can be exchanged.
- Data relating to the drone's mission e.g. analysis of transport infrastructure
- the GSMA like the 3GPP (3GPP TR22.825: Remote identification of unmanned aerial Systems (Stage 1 - R 16) - September 2018) consider that the drone as the pilot must be authenticated, for example by using a SIM card (or eSIM) , ensuring that public or private space is not occupied by an unidentified remote-controlled vehicle.
- SIM or eSIM
- solutions are proposed for the identification and registration of drones, for drone access to the public domain or for the detection of corrupt drones.
- These solutions based on separate identification and authentication solutions for drones and pilots, prove to be rigid and not modifiable during the mission because, on the one hand, they are specific to a drone and a pilot in particular and they do not establish a link between a pilot and a drone.
- the object of the present invention is to provide improvements over the state of the art.
- the invention improves the situation with the aid of a method for assigning a control system of a remotely controlled vehicle, called a drone, said system being capable of transmitting data relating to at least one service. communication and comprising a drone and a control entity of said drone, the method comprising receiving a request for deployment of the service, obtaining identification information of the control entity and data of authentication of the drone, determining a system assignment record comprising an association between the identification information, the authentication data obtained and an identifier of the at least one service.
- the invention allows a drone is associated with a control entity of the drone, this entity being able to be a remote control or the operator in charge of the control of the drone and a service.
- Control can correspond to piloting or supervision.
- the advantage of such a solution is to be able to call on the system in a single step, associating a drone and a control entity, for the provision of a communication service, established from a drone connectivity or 'a device on board the drone.
- the presence of a service identifier at registration allows the operator of the system to be able to prioritize a system for certain missions, for example under a security service.
- the data relating to a type of service which can be a service identifier or a protocol port number, can also inform the system operator, as well as the service provider, about the occupancy or load of the system to at some point.
- Determining the registration of the system makes it possible to simplify the management of the services implemented from the drone since a service provider will have a registration, and possibly an identifier for this registration, therefore a duly drone. authenticated and for which a control entity is well identified and associated, from which it can deploy the service identified in
- the allocation method which can for example be implemented by an operator, further guarantees to the service provider that the association between a drone, a control entity and a service is valid, allowing the service provider to have a complete offer going beyond a separate authentication of a drone and identification of the control entity.
- This process also allows easier development of a database used for the management of services and the management of drone fleets, this base being able to rely directly on the various records, possibly certified by the entity in charge of the assignment, and making the link between a control entity and a drone.
- the recording further comprises data relating to a quality of service supported by the system.
- a system can include specifics in terms of throughput and / or latency or other quality of service parameters.
- the data relating to the quality of service can be advantageously used to authorize or not the provision of the system for services requiring a quality of service compatible with that supported by the system.
- a live television broadcasting service of images filmed by a drone could for example be offered if the system registration indicates that the drone has in fact subscribed to a broadband network connectivity offer.
- the recording further comprises at least one characteristic of the drone and / or of the control entity.
- Drones depending on the types of connection supported and / or the protocols supported, may not be suitable for certain services. The same is true for control devices that do not allow drones to be piloted under certain conditions or at a certain distance from the drone. It is therefore advantageous to be able to indicate this information in the records in order to select the system best suited to a given service.
- the authentication datum further comprises an identification datum for a device on board the drone.
- the communications service can be implemented by the drone or by a device, such as a camera, a detector, a transmitter installed on the drone.
- a device such as a camera, a detector, a transmitter installed on the drone.
- the communications service relates to a device on board the drone, it is advantageous to identify the device in addition to the drone so as to be able to possibly differentiate the services associated with the different devices in the recordings.
- the recording further comprises a drone connectivity parameter.
- Drones will increasingly be flown outside the pilot's field of vision and it may be important for use of the system to indicate, for example, the different access technologies supported by the drone, or even the versions of the software providing connectivity. of a system drone.
- the recording further comprises an accreditation data of the association of the identification information and the authentication data.
- This accreditation includes, for example, the authorization issued to the drone as well as the authorizations issued to the control entity, thus allowing a service provider to request the various bodies in charge of accreditations and authorizations.
- Accreditation can be granted by the operator in charge of implementing the assignment and association in the registration, thus giving the operator the role of a trusted entity for the implementation of communication systems based on drones.
- the record further comprises an identifier of a geographic space in which the system can be operated.
- the movement of a drone, especially in airspace, is highly regulated and authorizations are most often required to be able to operate a drone in a given space.
- the registration of the system can advantageously include an identifier of a geographical area, in which the drone is authorized to move. It could be a private space, such as a space around a factory or a strategic center, or a public space but with a limitation for example set by coordinates, for example of the GPS type (in English Global Positioning System).
- the space identifier can be used to authorize or not the implementation of certain applications from this system.
- obtaining identification information of the control entity further comprises the acquisition of authentication data of the control entity. control.
- a control entity can be a person, also called a pilot, in charge of controlling the drone or a control device, such as a remote control, to control the drone from a distance, or even the person and the remote control.
- the person or pilot can be uniquely identified, by a name or a telephone number or even by an approval number to pilot the drone, while the remote control, or control device, is authenticated, for example from 'a remote control SIM card, improving the security of the system.
- the assignment method further comprises determining a connection profile associated with the service.
- the allocation method further comprises associating the recording with one or more slot (s) of a communication network.
- Communications networks currently being specified and deployed are structured into network slices, also called slices, corresponding to particular routing, quality of service and security characteristics.
- a record of a drone system can advantageously be associated with a bay identifier so that the data sent to this system can benefit from processing corresponding to the data of the services offered from the system and to the characteristics of the bay.
- the allocation method comprises the reception of a registration modification message, comprising an update of the identification information of the control entity or of a new drone authentication data.
- identification of the control entity, or even the service identifier and other information also present in the recording can also be updated if the recording is valid for a limited period of time and must be renewed regularly in time.

- the drone 10 carries one or more terminals capable of recording, transmitting or receiving data from or to the entity 30, represented here by a mobile terminal.
- the drone 10 is attached to an AN1 access network.
- the control device 20 is attached to an access network AN2, which may be different or the same as the access network AN1, depending in particular on the geographical distance between the drone and its pilot (in direct line of sight or out of sight).
- the drone 10 and the device 20, as connected objects are authenticated on the respective access networks AN1 and AN2 and are possibly recorded in addition by a UTM type function (in particular for administrative services and flight monitoring).
- the drone 10 and the device 20 are implemented for the provision of an S3 service.
- the entity 30 requesting the S3 service, or intervening in the development of the S3 service may be separate from the US.
- the entity 30 is a customer of the S3 service and retrieves the data collected by the drone 10 attached to the AN3 access network.
- an S3 service may correspond to a service required by a service provider other than the entity in charge of the drone, and may correspond to a delivery service, a mapping service, a video service. transmission or even to a connectivity service.
- a service can also correspond to a service corresponding to a task or a characteristic of the drone, such as a movement service, a location service for example of the GPS type, a cellular or Wi-Fi access service, or a service. transmission on data over a communication infrastructure, for example based on network slices.

- FIG. 2 there is presented an assignment of a control system of a remotely piloted vehicle used for the transmission of data of a service, according to one aspect of the invention.
- a drone 10 is shown, a control entity 20 which is, according to this embodiment, a control device 20 and a control device. terminal 30 in accordance with the same entities presented in [FIG. 1]
- the drone 10 is authenticated (Authent) and the control device 20 is identified (Ident).
- Obtaining the identification information of the device 20 comprises the acquisition of an authentication data of this device 20, the obtaining and the acquisition can be simultaneous or successive. These entities are each authenticated, as connected objects, in particular to connect to the access networks to which they are respectively attached.
- the identification of the control device 20 comprises an authentication datum for the device 20.
- the drone 10 and the device 20 also have an authorization (author) allowing the drone to be able to move in a public and private space, this authorization that can be delivered for example by an airspace control authority and possibly acquired via a UTM type function.
- a UTM function can associate the drone 10 and the control entity 20 but according to a fixed implementation which does not allow for example the replacement of one piece of equipment by another without having to reset the entire connection procedure. between the different elements (drone 10, control and service device 20) which may lead to a discontinuity of service or of connection to the network.
- an Enrl record is created for this
- the recording consists of an authentication data (Authent) of the drone 10.
- This authentication data can be an IMSI information of the drone's SIM or e-SIM card or an authentication key determined during
- the record also includes information identifying the control entity 20 which can be an alphanumeric string of characters obtained during the validation of the device with an authority, from a configuration address to the access network to which he is connected. This identification information can also include authentication data of the control device, for example of the access network to which it is attached.
- the recording further comprises an identifier of the S3 service implemented for the drone 10 and the device 20. The association of these three data makes it possible to manage the complete system for providing the S3 service from a drone 10, facilitating the management for the drone operator, as well as its updating by adding services, replacing the drone by another or troubleshooting a service by direct identification of the entities in charge of providing the service.
- the recording further includes information (Space) corresponding to an identifier of the space in which the drone is authorized to move.
- Space information corresponding to an identifier of the space in which the drone is authorized to move.
- These may be alphanumeric characters identifying a space, for example "private” or “public”, or even GPS coordinates corresponding to the limits beyond which the drone must not move.
- the Enrl record includes data
- This accreditation data can be valid for a limited time or for an infinite period and can be updated according to the modification of the data or information.
- This data can also be used by a service provider to select an effectively accredited association, in particular useful when a service requiring a high level of security is supported by the system.
- the Enrl record includes data (QoS) relating to a quality of service supported by the system. This data is used in particular to determine a system adapted to the constraints of the service to be implemented.
- the Enrl record can thus include several sub-records relating to the various services supported by the system.
- the Enrl record includes three sub-records US (Unmanned Vehicle System), Service S3 and Mission.
- the recording thus comprises, according to an alternative, a Mission sub-recording comprising, for example, a “Mission” parameter, indicating for example whether the system has a commercial object, or if the system is implemented for a confidential objective, or the Mission information can include information relating to the type of clients for whom the system can be called upon during the assignment. Thus a confidential service will not be supported by a system intended to deliver commercial services and vice versa.
- a parameter on the status of the mission can, according to one example, provide information on the type of mission, such as its temporary or infinite nature, or on the entity in charge of the system.
- a remotely controlled vehicle also called a drone
- an access network which can be a cellular network or a Wi-Fi network.
- This authentication can be for example carried out using a SIM or e-SIM card installed in the drone.
- a control entity also connects to an access network, identifies itself and authenticates itself to that access network.
- the access networks to which the drone and the controlling entity attach can be private networks exclusively used for drones or public networks.
- This Authent phase relates to the access networks and the authorities in charge of drone movement legislation.
- the controlling entity and the drone are not associated.
- the authentication of the drone and the identification of the control entity are independent of each other. These steps allow the drone operator to retrieve identification information from control entities and authentication data from drones.
- the allocation method is initialized. This initialization is triggered by the reception of a request to deploy a service. In this embodiment, it is considered that this is a live retransmission service of an event from a camera on board the drone to a set of terminals.
- This service deployment request can be sent by a different service operator from the drone operator or by an entity belonging to the drone operator.
- the request can advantageously include a quality of service characteristic for the retransmission service.
- This step “Specifies UV service” allows to decide whether a system already assigned to a service can also be used for the implementation of the service for which an assignment process is instantiated.
- this step can be deleted and for each new service a new system is assigned.
- an assignment of a system materialized by a record comprising identification information of the control entity, authentication data of the drone and an identifier of the retransmission service is carried out during the Affect step.
- the recording can advantageously comprise a characteristic of the drone and of the camera and / or of the control entity, these
- the authentication datum of the drone advantageously comprises a datum for identifying the camera, this datum possibly being an IP address or a name for example used in a name server to associate the name of the camera with a network identifier, such as the one to which the drone is connected.
- Mission and Mission Analysis of the forwarding service and associated profile identification service are implemented.
- the drone operator evaluates during a Mission step whether a system assigned to a current mission can be assigned to the data retransmission service.
- a mission includes, for example, characteristics such as a geographical area, a flight time, specific regulations for the flight, in particular in terms of authorization to fly or the number of drones, or even in relation to a flight plan.
- a control system, a priori compatible for supporting a service may be incompatible because one or more characteristics of the mission are incompatible with the retransmission service to be implemented. This step is not mandatory.
- the Profile step consists in finding whether a profile corresponding to this mission exists. For example, if the retransmission service is requested by a public authority for a critical event, the drone operator analyzes whether a profile corresponding to this critical mission has already given rise to an assignment of a system.
- the determination of a connection profile associated with the requested retransmission service, during the Profile step can advantageously be used to ensure that a system is not shared between services, apparently compatible but ultimately corresponding to different connection profiles, due to differences in security, confidentiality or quality of service. If an existing profile, that is to say already in use, corresponds to the determined profile, is identified during the Profile Exist step, then the existing system is also assigned (Assign step) to the determined profile.
- the retransmission service is started, during the Start step once a drone system , comprising a drone and a control device, assigned to the retransmission service and a record corresponding to this assignment is determined.
- a drone battery problem is predictable, while a drone connectivity problem following a SIM card failure is ideally less so.
- a modification of the recording during the "Modify Record” step is carried out, for example by calling on another drone or another control device depending on the problem encountered.
- New drone authentication data and / or new control device identification information is used to update the record corresponding to the new assignment.
- it may be necessary to modify the system profile during the "Modify Profile” step because the new system may correspond to a separate profile.
- step N it may be necessary to restart an initialization process during step Init as defined in [Fig 3]. If the Init step is successful, the Modify Profile and Modify Record steps are continued as if the problem detected was predefined. If the Init step is not successful, during the Notif step, a notification is sent to the entity that sent a service deployment request to indicate that a modification of the assignment is not Not possible.
- This modification of the assignment and therefore of the recording makes it possible to continue the service by modifying the system and once modified, a notification of the modification to the entity that sent the service request is sent during step Notif.
- the notification may indicate a successful change or a failed change. If the notification indicates success, during step Cont, the service continues to be provided despite the change of assignment and
- the Cont step corresponds to an implementation of the retransmission service following the resolution of the incident that caused the alert or until the system is
- the assignment method in Figure 4 can also be used when the drone's mission changes. For example, a surveillance drone detects an anomaly on the infrastructure inspected and must adapt the service provided. In this case, the profile can be modified to meet a new need for retransmission.
- FIG 5 an overview is presented of the method of assigning a control system of a remotely controlled vehicle according to a third embodiment of the invention.
- the drone Drone and the control entity Pilot register and authenticate for example with a set of equipment such as eNodeB, HS S, MME for an LTE cellular network while the The Pilot control entity identifies itself and possibly authenticates itself to an access network. Identification consists in identifying the person in charge of controlling the drone, for example from his name and / or an approval number for the control of the drone and this identification can also include the authentication of the control device. as is done for the drone. In this mode, the Drone and the Pilot register and authenticate for example with a set of equipment such as eNodeB, HS S, MME for an LTE cellular network while the The Pilot control entity identifies itself and possibly authenticates itself to an access network. Identification consists in identifying the person in charge of controlling the drone, for example from his name and / or an approval number for the control of the drone and this identification can also include the authentication of the control device. as is done for the drone. In this mode, the Drone and the Pilot
- Authent System authenticate with the same devices (here called Authent System) but according to another example, the devices are distinct. These may be procedures such as those for attaching to a GPRS / LTE / 5G network from a SIM card. These steps correspond to the Authent step of [Fig 3].
- the Drone and the Pilot register with a UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) entity for managing drones, which may be a specific entity or a sub-entity of a communication operator.
- UTM Unmanned Traffic Management
- the UTM entity obtains an authentication data from the Drone as well as an identification information from the Pilot. This obtaining may also include the receipt of authentication data from a control device of the Pilot.
- the UTM entity requests an Autor entity in charge of authorizations for the deployment of drones and in response receives an authorization for the Drone and the Pilot.
- a Serv entity which is a service provider requests the NPS (Net-Pilot System) entity for the assignment of a drone system for a surveillance service.
- the Serv entity is the NPS entity, and requests the NPS entity for the provision of a specific service specific to the NPS entity.
- the entity Serv distinct from the entity NPS, transmits a request for the provision of a monitoring service.
- the entity Serv requests the entity NPS for a generic data transmission service, therefore not identified as a surveillance service, in order to reserve drone resources and to be assigned the Drone and the Pilot. .
- the service is a default service, or best effort, which will be indicated as such in the record resulting from the assignment.
- This record is possibly modified later, for example by using the steps described in [Fig. 4] when the supplier issues a deployment request for a more demanding service in terms of transmission time for example.
- the request sent to the NPS entity can be sent by the Drone, the Pilot or even the autor entity.
- the NPS entity is respectively hosted by the Drone, the Pilot or the entity Author.
- the service may relate to connectivity or to a network access service. If the request is sent by the Pilot, it can also be a network access service or a Drone control service.
- the request is issued by the Autor entity, it may be a monitoring service of the Drone for the needs of the autor entity or the establishment of a monitoring service for the autor entity account.
- the NPS entity requests the UTM entity to obtain the
- the UTM entity is the NPS entity and according to yet another alternative, the UTM entity has communicated the information of the drone systems registered with it to the NPS entity, making step E8 not essential .
- the UTM entity transmits the information on the Drone and the Pilot to the NPS entity. Only a Drone and a Pilot are shown, but alternatively information relating to several drones and pilots can be transmitted to the NPS entity.
- the UTM entity also communicates an accreditation datum for the association of the identification information and the authentication datum which can be added to the record when the system is assigned. drone.
- the NPS entity assigns a system for the provision of a service and records the following data corresponding to the assignment: data
- this recording comprises the IMSI code of a SIM card of the Drone, the IMSI code of a SIM card of the piloting device of the Pilot and a port number of the protocol used for the monitoring service.
- the recording further comprises one or more information presented in FIG. 2 and which will have been communicated by the UTM, Autor and Serv entities during the implementation of the method.
- the recording may further include a drone connectivity parameter, which may be the types of access networks to which the drone can attach and / or information about the technologies used to attach to the access networks ( 3G, 4G, 802.11 ).
- Profile information can also be also be the types of access networks to which the drone can attach and / or information about the technologies used to attach to the access networks ( 3G, 4G, 802.11 ).
- the NPS entity indicates to the Serv entity (or to the Drone, to the Pilot or to the autor entity according to the alternatives described above in step E7) the result of the assignment possibly indicating the record corresponding to this assignment. According to an alternative not shown in [Lig. 5], this result is also communicated to the UTM entity for monitoring the use of drone systems, as well as possibly to the autor entity for monitoring the operations of the drone systems.
- the data from the remote monitoring service can actually be transmitted by the Drone over the communication network to which it is attached.
- a network slice in English network slice selected as a function of the recording comprising the information of the drone system and the identifier of the surveillance service.
- the association of the recording with one (or more) network slice (s), for example by associating the recording with a network slice or service identifier associated with the network slice makes it possible to guarantee the security, mission and quality of service requirements that may be present in the recording.
- Drone and / or Pilot a modification of the assignment and therefore of the recording can be implemented in accordance with the steps described in [Fig 4]. This modification can also lead to a change of network section if security and quality of service parameters have for example changed during the modification.
- the assignment device 400 implements the assignment method, of which various embodiments have just been described.
- Such a device 400 can be implemented in an entity for managing a communication infrastructure, or in an entity for managing communication services.
- the device 400 comprises a processing unit 430, equipped for example with an mR microprocessor, and controlled by a computer program 410, stored in a memory 420 and implementing the determination method according to the invention.
- a computer program 410 stored in a memory 420 and implementing the determination method according to the invention.
- the code instructions of the computer program 410 are, for example, loaded into a RAM memory, before being executed by the processor of the processing unit 430.
- Such a device 400 comprises:
- an obtaining module 401 able to obtain Ident information
- a determination module 402 capable of determining a system assignment record comprising an association between the identification information, the authentication data obtained and an identifier of F at least one service.
- the allocation method and the corresponding allocation device and system can be implemented by a communications operator, such as a telecommunications operator, or else a specific entity in charge of managing drones and the flights of these. drones.
- the movement of the drone requires a control entity which can itself include a person in charge of control and / or correspond to a control or administration console of the drone.
- the drone can move by air, land or sea depending on the commands transmitted by the control entity or autonomously in accordance with a pre-established movement plan, the control entity ensuring that the operation of the drone is nominal and that it follows the displacement plan.
- the allocation method advantageously makes it possible to link the drones, control devices and services and to offer a complete system management then making it possible to be able to manage not the different entities or services individually but as a complete system then facilitating the reuse of a system for other services or for the substitution of a drone or a control entity by another drone or a control entity responding to the constraint of the service or services implemented on a given system.
- This method also makes it possible to be able to manage compatibilities or incompatibilities between services through system qualification parameters such as the profiles or missions of the systems which can be used to deliver services following a request from a service provider. services that may or may not be separate from the drone operator who can also be a communications operator.
- the assignment method therefore makes it possible to associate a set of services that the system supports with a system and thus to correlate quality of service or safety requirements with types of mission and drone profiles. It is then a question of going beyond DAAS (Drone As A Service) type architectures where the connectivity of the drone, in particular, is not taken into account to integrate characteristics relating to connectivity and quality of service of a service to be delivered.
- DAAS Drone As A Service
- the object is therefore to select drone systems offering connectivity to communications networks and suitable for the provision of data communication services and to identify them, together with their characteristics, for the deployment of new data services.
