A method for controlling the operation of an aerial user equipment, UE, in a wireless network, the method being performed by the aerial UE, the method comprising: determining whether the aerial user equipment UE is in an autonomous mode or in a non-autonomous mode; determining the flight path information of the aerial UE; reporting to the network side the flight path information of the aerial UE, wherein when the aerial UE is in the autonomous mode, reporting to the network side the flight path information of the aerial UE in one of the case that a first reporting period expires and the case that a path deviation of the aerial UE is larger than a deviation threshold; and when the aerial UE is in the non-autonomous mode, reporting to the network side the flight path information of the aerial UE in one of the case that a second reporting period less than the first reporting period expires and the case that at least one of the flight direction and flight speed of the aerial UE changes; further comprising when the aerial UE is in the non-autonomous mode, reporting intended flight path information of the aerial UE with a time tag; wherein the intended flight path information includes at least one of the following: a starting time tag, an ending time tag, and the relevant location information of the aerial UE; a starting position, a flight direction, and velocity information of the aerial UE until receiving a command for changing at least one of the starting position, flight direction, and velocity information; and series of discrete positions with time tags. determining whether the aerial user equipment UE is in an autonomous mode or in a non-autonomous mode; determining the flight path information of the aerial UE; reporting to the network side the flight path information of the aerial UE, wherein when the aerial UE is in the autonomous mode, reporting to the network side the flight path information of the aerial UE in one of the case that a first reporting period expires and the case that a path deviation of the aerial UE is larger than a deviation threshold; and when the aerial UE is in the non-autonomous mode, reporting to the network side the flight path information of the aerial UE in one of the case that a second reporting period less than the first reporting period expires and the case that at least one of the flight direction and flight speed of the aerial UE changes; further comprising when the aerial UE is in the non-autonomous mode, reporting intended flight path information of the aerial UE with a time tag; wherein the intended flight path information includes at least one of the following: a starting time tag, an ending time tag, and the relevant location information of the aerial UE; a starting position, a flight direction, and velocity information of the aerial UE until receiving a command for changing at least one of the starting position, flight direction, and velocity information; and series of discrete positions with time tags. a starting time tag, an ending time tag, and the relevant location information of the aerial UE; a starting position, a flight direction, and velocity information of the aerial UE until receiving a command for changing at least one of the starting position, flight direction, and velocity information; and series of discrete positions with time tags.
