Abstract

Disclosed are methods for communication channel setting and connection establishment in a new UAS CNPC system which can dynamically allocate a UA controlling a communication frequency resource to efficiently operate multiple UAs to channels in a limited UA control dedicated frequency band in a national airspace and be applied even to a next-generation P2MP type CNPC system, in order to stably operate the UA and extend the demand of the UA. That is, the present invention has been made in an effort to provide a method for setting a UA controlling communication channel between a ground radio station (GRS) and an unmanned aircraft (UA), which is used for supporting dynamic allocation and management of a UA controlling communication channel and a procedure for establishing connection of a UA controlling communication channel among a ground control system (GCS), the ground radio station (GRS), and the unmanned aircraft (UA).
