A method for managing connections between an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and one or more associated UAV devices, the method comprising: determining, by a radio control management service, that one or more associated UAV devices are attached to a wireless network; determining, by the radio control management service, that one or more UAVs are attached to the wireless network; determining, by the radio control management service, an association between a first associated UAV device (106 2), of the one or more associated UAV devices, and a first UAV (102 2) of the one or more UAVs; and routing, by the radio control management service, in response to determining that the one or more associated UAV devices and one or more UAVs are attached to the wireless network and in response to determining the association between the first associated UAV device and the first UAV, at least one of communications from at least one of the one or more UAVs to at least one of the one or more associated UAV devices, and communications from at least one of the one or more associated UAV devices to at least one of the one or more UAVs; characterised in that the routing communications comprises: transmitting a first set of setup packets to the first associated UAV device in response to determining the association between the first associated UAV device and the first UAV; and transmitting a second set of setup packets to the first UAV in response to determining the association between the first associated UAV device and the first UAV, wherein the first set of setup packets includes bearer information of the first UAV, and wherein the second set of setup packets include bearer information of the first associated UAV device. determining, by a radio control management service, that one or more associated UAV devices are attached to a wireless network; determining, by the radio control management service, that one or more UAVs are attached to the wireless network; determining, by the radio control management service, an association between a first associated UAV device (106 2), of the one or more associated UAV devices, and a first UAV (102 2) of the one or more UAVs; and routing, by the radio control management service, in response to determining that the one or more associated UAV devices and one or more UAVs are attached to the wireless network and in response to determining the association between the first associated UAV device and the first UAV, at least one of communications from at least one of the one or more UAVs to at least one of the one or more associated UAV devices, and communications from at least one of the one or more associated UAV devices to at least one of the one or more UAVs; characterised in that the routing communications comprises: transmitting a first set of setup packets to the first associated UAV device in response to determining the association between the first associated UAV device and the first UAV; and transmitting a second set of setup packets to the first UAV in response to determining the association between the first associated UAV device and the first UAV, wherein the first set of setup packets includes bearer information of the first UAV, and wherein the second set of setup packets include bearer information of the first associated UAV device. transmitting a first set of setup packets to the first associated UAV device in response to determining the association between the first associated UAV device and the first UAV; and transmitting a second set of setup packets to the first UAV in response to determining the association between the first associated UAV device and the first UAV, wherein the first set of setup packets includes bearer information of the first UAV, and wherein the second set of setup packets include bearer information of the first associated UAV device.
