Abstract: A data communication system for unmanned aerial vehicles includes communication links comprising a low-throughput capacity communication link and a high-throughput capacity communication link. The data communication system can also include a base station, to which the unmanned aerial vehicles send aerial data, and from which the unmanned aerial vehicles receive command signals. As the unmanned aerial vehicles perform missions in an open, distant airspace, the unmanned aerial vehicles can gather large volume data such as aerial images or videos. The data communication system allows opportunistic transfer of the gathered aerial data from the unmanned aerial vehicles to the base station when a high-throughput communication link is established. The data communication system allows constant communication between the base station and the unmanned aerial vehicles to send and receive low volume, operation-critical data, such as commands or on-going flight path changes, using a low-throughput communication link.

Abstract translation: 用于无人机的数据通信系统包括包括低吞吐量容量通信链路和高吞吐量容量通信链路的通信链路。 数据通信系统还可以包括无人驾驶飞行器发送空中数据的基站，并且无人驾驶飞行器从该基站接收命令信号。 由于无人驾驶飞行器在开放，遥远的空域进行任务，无人机可以收集大量数据，如航空图像或视频。 当建立高吞吐量通信链路时，数据通信系统允许将收集的天线数据从无人驾驶飞行器机会传输到基站。 数据通信系统允许基站和无人驾驶飞行器之间的恒定通信，使用低吞吐量通信链路发送和接收低体积，操作关键数据，例如命令或正在进行的飞行路径改变。
