Claim 0:
1. A method for sharing user equipment state estimates between nodes within a wireless communication network, wherein a user equipment is included as part of an airborne drone, the method comprising:
initiating transmission of obtained user equipment kinematic state estimate information and obtained user equipment type state estimate information to a receiving network node as a response to an obtained indication of a need for sharing user equipment state estimates;
said obtained user equipment kinematic state estimate information comprising a latest kinematic state update time, mode state vector estimates, mode covariance matrices and mode probabilities valid for said latest kinematic state update time for at least one user equipment kinematic mode; and
said obtained user equipment type state estimate information comprising a latest type state update time and a type state probability estimate valid for said latest type state update time;
wherein the obtained user equipment kinematic state estimate information further comprises tracking coordinate system parameters or performing a user equipment kinematic state estimation, given said mode state vector estimates, said mode covariance matrices, and said mode probabilities, in which said user equipment kinematic state estimate information further comprises tracking coordinate system parameters.
