Patent ID: 11997588

Abstract:
Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for facilitating Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) services over evolved packet systems. Some embodiments are directed to a method, the method including receiving a registration request from each of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a UAV controller to establish an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). Additionally, the method includes initiating a UAS Operation Service Request Procedure via a network exposure function (NEF) and associating the UAV and the UAV controller to operate as the UAS in response to obtaining the results of the UAS operation service authorization from each of the UAV and the UAV controller. Moreover, the method also includes transmitting a UAS operation status update procedure to the UAV and the UAV controller, the update procedure including UAS association information, a UAS policy update, and initiation of a UAS operation.
