AI Technical Summary
Current cellular network technologies face challenges in predicting and preparing for handovers of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight paths, as existing methods do not effectively determine the necessary flight-related information for seamless handover processes.
A method and apparatus for receiving and determining flight path information from UAVs, which includes reporting flight path details such as position, altitude, speed, and reporting time to cellular network base stations via RRC signaling, allowing the base stations to anticipate and prepare for handovers by identifying the serving base station and handover duration.
Enables efficient handover preparation by determining flight-related information, reducing system energy consumption and improving the reliability of UAV communication within cellular networks.
