Study on application layer support for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)
The present document is a technical report which identifies the application architecture aspects to support UAS, and corresponding architectural solutions. The study includes identifying architecture requirements that are necessary to ensure efficient use and deployment of UAS services and applications over 3GPP systems.
The study takes into consideration the existing stage 1 work within 3GPP related to UAS in 3GPP TS 22.125 [3], 3GPP TS 22.281 [5] and 3GPP TS 22.282 [6]. The study also takes into consideration the related system architecture developed by SA2 in 3GPP TR 23.754 [16]. The recommendations from the study include architecture solutions that may be considered for normative work.
