AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in accurately positioning unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) due to limitations in providing precise flying status and waypoint information, which hinders efficient navigation and control.

Method used

UAV user equipment (UE) and network entities communicate to obtain and transmit reference signal measurements and flight status, as well as request and receive waypoint information, enabling improved positioning through enhanced communication protocols.

🎯Benefits of technology

This approach enhances the accuracy and efficiency of UAV positioning by providing real-time flying status and waypoint information to location servers, improving navigation and control capabilities.

Abstract

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) user equipment (UE) may obtain one or more first measurements of one or more first reference signals. The UAV UE may transmit, to a network entity, a measurement report including the one or more first measurements and a first flight status of the UAV UE at a time the one or more first measurements were obtained.
