Study on supporting Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) connectivity, Identification and tracking
This study item shall address the following system enablers for supporting Unmanned Aerial Systems Connectivity, Identification, and Tracking:
- a mechanism for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) controller and UAV(s) identification and tracking in the 3GPP system;
- this includes how the 3GPP system can provide support for UAV to ground identification (e.g. to authorized third parties such as police devices);
- a mechanism to support UAV controller and UAV(s) authorization and authentication by UTM;
- a mechanism to handle unauthorized UAVs and revocation of authorization (e.g. lack of connectivity to carry the UAV command and control messages, denied registration, etc.) that enables the system to keep track of and control UAV(s).
