    • The overall architecture of the low-altitude economy encompasses three major sectors: the supply side, the demand side, and the regulatory side which are interrelated and pursue common development. The supply side exhibits new characteristics across production factors, technology, and industry; the demand side shows the core value of the low-altitude economy through diversified application scenarios; and the regulatory side provides support and assurance for the healthy development of the low-altitude economy. To propel the high-quality development of the low-altitude economy, the supply side should strengthen technology research and development and build infrastructure; the demand side should promote scenario opening and expand market demand; and the regulatory side should improve policy rules and enhance safety precautions. In this way, the low-altitude economy will emerge as a new engine driving future socio-economic progress.

    • The low-altitude economy is an emerging comprehensive economic form driven by low-altitude flight activities. Firstly, the industry driving forces of the low-altitude economy are studied, including four aspects: market, technology, policy, and regulation. Secondly, the research progress in the low-altitude field by standardization organizations such as ITU, 3GPP, IEEE, and CCSA is examined. Finally, in response to the technical challenges faced in air-ground networking, three commercial air-ground integrated communication networking solutions are proposed: single-carrier air-ground frequency-different scheme, dual-carrier air-ground frequency-different scheme, and dual-carrier air-ground frequency-same scheme, providing multiple options and possibilities for the development of low-altitude communication networks.

    • ZHANG Yang
    • Information and Communications Technology and Policy. 2024, 50(11): 18-22. DOI:10.12267/j.issn.2096-5931.2024.11.003
    • Abstract ( 716 ) HTML( 496 )   
    • As an emerging economic model, the low-altitude economy demonstrates extensive application potential in various fields such as agriculture, logistics, transportation, emergency rescue, and cultural tourism. Its development relies on core technologies such as flight control systems, communication technology, perception and navigation technology, information technology, and data processing technology. However, with further development of the low-altitude economy, risks in network security and data security are becoming increasingly prominent, involving problems such as imperfect security supervision, high sensitivity of data, widespread networking of equipment, and high dependence on digital technology. To effectively address these risks, strategies such as improving top-level design, building a security protection system, promoting multi-party cooperation, innovating security services, building a technical system, and cultivating security professionals should be adopted, in order to promote the healthy, orderly, and sustainable development of the low-altitude economy.
