The invention provides an unmanned plane control apparatus and method based on 4G communication. A central processor distributes
identity recognition identifiers (such as IP addresses) and
radio frequency communication frequencies to each unmanned plane, and the central processor parses a preset
airplane control program, obtains flight parameters, sends the flight parameters through a 4
G network to the unmanned planes corresponding to the
identity recognition identifiers, at the same time, senses manual operation of users, generates operation instructions, and sends the operation instructions through
radio frequency communication to the unmanned planes matching the
radio frequency communication frequencies. The 4G communication distance is long, the execution cost is low, the bandwidth capacity is large, and the message
transmission rate is high. By using the 4G communication to undertake major communication tasks, the control cost of the unmanned planes can be remarkably reduced. Besides, the 4G communication is employed for long-distance transmission, the defect that conventional
radio frequency communication cannot realize long-distance accurate communication can be overcome, and the unmanned planes can be stably controlled.
