UAV over-the-horizon video backhaul self-organizing solution
overview
Background description
China is a large border and coastal defense country, the mainland coastline is more than 18,000 kilometers long, there are many points, long lines, and wide areas, except for key areas, it is difficult to comprehensively carry out real-time network monitoring and coverage. In areas covered by unmonitored networks, border and coastal defense units need to rapidly deploy communication systems to enable seamless connection between various combat units, and to carry out efficient, rapid, and safe execution of border and coastal defense tasks by carrying out battlefield information transmission of various services such as video, command, voice intercom, and telecommunications transmission.
solution
The video acquisition equipment is installed on the unmanned ship, and the AnyMESH ad hoc network equipment of Wanlan Communication (the AnyMESH equipment and battery are fixed at the bottom of the drone or in the unmanned cabin), and the transmitting antenna is vertically installed in the tail or stern of the aircraft (it can also be installed according to user needs). The video sources of drones and unmanned ships are connected to AnyMESH to form a complete wireless video transmission system for drones and unmanned ships. The signal transmitted by the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned ship wireless MESH image transmission equipment is received through the ground wireless image receiving platform, which can clearly display the image collected by the UAV on the display screen, and can also transmit the video signal to other display/storage devices through the interface outside the platform. At the same time, the ground receiving platform can embed the network transmission module to transmit the video signal to the back-end central station by network transmission.
The scheme design is as follows:
As shown in the figure above, the design of the entire emergency rescue command and communication scheme is divided into three parts from left to right.
Ad hoc network airborne node part: the ad hoc network airborne node equipment carried by the UAV in the air and the self-organizing network individual soldier carrying node equipment can also be interconnected through mesh networking, and the communication distance from the general UAV to the ground detection personnel can reach more than 10-20KM;
Emergency communication command vehicle node part: install an ANYMESH ad hoc network vehicle node equipment on the emergency communication command vehicle 20 kilometers away from the front-end detection personnel at a distance, and the ad hoc network vehicle node equipment builds a wireless communication network with the ad hoc network airborne node equipment on the UAV through a wireless MESH link
General command center part: The emergency communication center can build a communication link with the command center through 4G/5G and nearby communication base stations or through satellite signals.

Summary of the program
The image, video and voice data captured by the intelligent terminal equipment can be transmitted to the ad hoc network airborne node through WiFi, and then the video is transmitted back to the front-end command center through the communication network built by the ad hoc network airborne node and the ad hoc network on-board equipment。 At the same time, the emergency communication center can also transmit data to the nearby tower through 4G/5G, and the video is transmitted to the back-end command center through the operator's network in the tower. When there is no 4G/5G signal in the vicinity of the vehicle, the data can also be transmitted back via satellite.
