Telemetry messaging service for drone management applications
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003903B2) discloses a network device designed to manage telemetry messaging services for drones. The device includes a processor that receives requests from drone management applications to subscribe to the telemetry service, grants subscriptions based on the requests, processes telemetry messages received from drones over a radio access network (RAN), and provides the processed data back to the applications over the RAN. The processor can also send Universal Resource Identifiers (URIs) and queue names to applications upon subscription approval, allowing them to receive telemetry messages efficiently.
Moreover, the network device can handle requests that include bounding box information to specify geographical areas where drones are located, enabling precise telemetry data collection. Additionally, the device can register drones and associated flights, generating unique identifiers for database entries and transmitting access tokens to devices for secure communication. The patent also covers the creation of temporary queues in memory for applications to collect processed telemetry messages. This innovative system is integrated into hardware providing the telemetry service, including a network slice, ensuring efficient and secure data transmission between drones and applications.
