Claim 23:
24. A method of estimating angle of arrival (AoA) for a target drone, the method comprising:
receiving an estimated AoA and position from the target drone;
receiving an estimated AoA and position from each neighboring drone of the target drone, the AoA based on observed signals from the target drone, the observed signals having at least one of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) greater than a predetermined threshold;
collecting AoA estimates from multiple base stations with respect to the target drone; and
estimating a target drone position based on the positions and the AoA estimates of the multiple base stations and neighboring drones;
comparing the target drone position and the position from the target drone; and
taking a network action based on a comparison between the target drone position and the position from the target drone.
