  • Publication number: 20220097845
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle is an unmanned aerial vehicle configured to fly in a closed space, which includes an airframe, a thrust generating means configured to generate a thrust for the airframe to fly in air, and a length measuring means mounted on the airframe. The length measuring means includes a transmission unit configured to transmit a measurement wave, a reception unit configured to receive reflected waves of the measurement wave, and a distance calculation unit configured to calculate a distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and a stationary object present in the closed space based on the reflected waves of the measurement wave transmitted from the transmission unit which are received a plurality of times by the reception unit.

  • Patent number: 11116029
    Abstract: A network entity (5) sends, to a mobility management entity (6) or a subscriber server (9), a request message in order to configure the mobility management entity (6) to report a second identifier to be used by a radio access network node (2) for identifying a radio terminal (1). Further, the network entity (5) receives the second identifier from the mobility management entity (6) directly or through the subscriber server (9) and communicates with the radio access network node (2) by using the second identifier. It is thus, for example, possible to allow an MEC server (or an MEC application hosted on the MEC server) and the radio access network (RAN) node to directly exchange therebetween control messages regarding a specific radio terminal.
