METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR USING AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) FLIGHT PATH TO COORDINATE AN ENHANCED HANDOVER IN 3RD GENERATION PARTNERSHIP PROJECT (3GPP) NETWORKS

摘要

A method for managing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is described. The method may include receiving flight plan information describing a flight path of the UAV; generating one or more cell lists based on the flight plan information; and transmitting the one or more cell lists to a source cell in a wireless network in which the UAV is currently operating, wherein the one or more cell lists are used in a handover procedure between the source cell that the UAV is currently connected to and a target cell that the UAV will connect to after completing the handover procedure.
