摘要: A technique for verifying a geographical position of an unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, is disclosed. A computing unit for executing a UAV application server residing in a cellular network and configured to verify a geographical position of a UAV connected to the cellular network comprises at least one processor and at least one memory, wherein the at least one memory contains instructions executable by the at least one processor such that the UAV application server is operable to receive (S202) UAV-based position information indicative of a current geographical position of the UAV determined by the UAV, trigger (S204) obtaining, from at least one entity of the cellular network and based on information associated with the UAV available in the cellular network, network-based position information indicative of a current geographical position of the UAV, and trigger (S206) verifying the UAV-based position information based on the network-based position information.

摘要: A system, method, node, apparatus, and computer program for allocating a flight corridor for use by an UAV (10) for traveling from a starting point to a destination point is presented. The UAV (10) is connected to a cellular network and associated with an Application Server, UAV-AS, (100) being responsible for an own geographical service area (150) where the UAV (10) is located. The UAV-AS (100) is maintaining a set of predetermined flight corridor segments in the geographical service area (150). The method is performed by the UAV-AS (100) and comprises receiving a request for allocation of a flight corridor for use by the UAV (10), the request comprising a starting point and a destination point. The method further comprises allocating a flight corridor being seamlessly covered by the cellular network and allowing a seamless control of the UAV (10) by the UAV-AS (100), the flight corridor comprising a concatenation of flight corridor segments and bridging the starting point and the destination point. The method also comprises sending a response comprising an identifier of the allocated flight corridor.

摘要: A system, method, node, and computer program for determining a flight start policy to be applied to an unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, (10) is described. The UAV (10) is associated with a first UAV-Application Server, UAV-AS (100) maintaining a flight policy applicable for the geographical service area (150) where the UAV (10) is located. The method comprising the first UAV-AS (100) determining whether the UAV (10) is going to leave the geographical service area (150) towards a second geographical service area (150), wherein the second geographical service area (150) is associated with a second UAV-AS (130). If so querying by the first UAV-AS (100) a flight policy applicable for the second geographical service area (150) from the second UAV-AS (130), and instructing a received flight policy applicable for the second geographical service to the UAV (10), before the UAV (10) has entered the second geographical service area (150).

摘要: A method of adaptively allocating, by a network control function, NWCF, radio resources provided by an advanced antenna system, AAS, of a radio access network, RAN. The AAS has an adaptive radio antenna arrangement configured for serving terrestrial radio user equipments, UEs. The NWCF, upon receiving information of an upcoming demand for radio resources of the RAN for serving aerial vehicle radio user equipments, UEs, maps the demand to radio resources to be allocated by the AAS for serving the aerial vehicle UEs, and instructs the AAS to allocate the radio resources for serving the aerial vehicle UEs by adapting the radio antenna arrangement of the AAS. A network control function, an advanced antenna system, and radio cell site equipment are provided.
