Abstract: A method for regulating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes receiving a UAV identifier and one or more types of contextual information broadcasted by the UAV. The UAV identifier uniquely identifies the UAV from other UAVs. The one or more types of contextual information includes at least geographical information of the UAV. The method further includes authenticating, via an authentication device, an identity of the UAV based on the UAV identifier to determine whether the UAV is authorized for operation, and transmitting a signal to a remote device in response to determining whether the UAV is authorized for operation.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a processor obtaining a datagram based on monitoring data for a UAV-detector communication between the UAV and one or more detectors. The monitoring data indicates at least one of a location of the UAV or a location of a control station in communication with the UAV. The method further includes determining a risk level by retrieving pre-stored risk information associated with the UAV based on the datagram.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a processor generating a datagram based on monitoring data for a UAV-detector communication between the UAV and one or more detectors. The monitoring data indicates at least one of a location of the UAV or a location of a control station in communication with the UAV. The method further includes the processor encrypting working data for a UAV-control station communication between the UAV and the control station using an encryption key known to the control station but now known to the one or more detectors, and a transmitter transmitting the datagram along with encrypted working data. The datagram is to be received by the one or more detectors and the encrypted working data is to be received and deciphered by the control station using the encryption key.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a sensor configured to detect an indicator of a geo-fencing device; and a flight controller configured to generate one or more signals that cause the UAV to operate in accordance with a set of flight regulations that are generated based on the detected indicator of the geo-fencing device.

Abstract: A monitoring information broadcasting method includes determining a series of transmission sessions aligned to a system time of a mobile platform. Each transmission session includes a first time period and a second time period. The first time period includes a plurality of first time slices and the second time period includes a plurality of second time slices. The method further includes performing one of broadcasting a data packet of a first type during a first active slice among the first time slices in the first time period of one of the transmission sessions or broadcasting a data packet of a second type during a second active slice among the second time slices in the second time period of the one of the transmission sessions.
