7.8  Tracking dynamic UAVs in an application defined area relative to a host UAV |R18|p. 62

7.8.1  Generalp. 62

The UAE server can be responsible for tracking a host UAV's dynamic information (i.e., information of other dynamic UAVs in an application defined area relative to a host UAV). As per a proximity range set by the application layer (e.g. UAS Application Specific Server), the UAE layer supports providing the dynamic information (i.e. other UAVs' location information) to the UAS Application Specific Server (UTM/USS) and/or to the host UAV. This feature can be utilized by UAS applications (e.g. DAA, Dynamic maps).
This feature utilizes the following procedures:
  • UAS Application Specific Server or the host UAV subscription for host UAV's dynamic information with UAE server.
  • UAE server tracking host UAV's UE location with support from SEAL's location management server.
  • UAE server management of dynamic UE location based group.
  • UAE server obtaining dynamic information from the UAVs in application defined proximity range of the host UAV.
  • UAE server notification of host UAV's dynamic information to the UAS Application Specific Server and/or to the host UAV.

7.8.2.1  Subscription for host UAV dynamic informationp. 63

Figure 7.8.2.1-1 describes the procedure for subscription for host UAV's dynamic information.
Pre-condition:
  • UAS Application Specific Server has registered with UAE server 1 which is responsible for the host UAV.
  • The UAV ID and application defined proximity range information are configured on the host UAV.

Up
Step 1.
The UAS Application Specific Server or UAE client of host UAV sends a subscribe host UAV dynamic information request to the UAE server 1. The request includes the UAV ID of the host UAV, application defined proximity range information.
Step 2.
The UAE server 1 stores the subscription information.
Step 3.
The UAE server 1 sends subscription response to the UAS Application Specific Server.
Step 4.
The UAE server 1 obtains and initiates tracking the host UAV location from the location management server 1 as specified in TS 23.434.

7.8.2.2  Management of dynamic UE location based groupp. 63

Figure 7.8.2.2-1 describes the procedure for management of dynamic UE location based group.
Pre-condition:
  • UAE server 1 has received an updated location of the host UAV as per procedure specified in TS 23.434.
  • UAE server 1 is configured with UAE server 2..N information of other UAS operator and their supported region of operation.
Copy of original 3GPP image for 3GPP TS 23.255, Fig. 7.8.2.2-1: Management of dynamic UE location group
Up
Step 1.
Dynamic UE location based group creation or update is triggered (e.g. notified of the UE location of host UAV) via the step 4 in clause 7.8.2.1 for the UAV ID of the host UAV.
Step 2.
UAE server 1 uses its associated LMS 1 to obtain the dynamic UE list and the corresponding location information in the proximity area of the host UAV by providing the application defined proximity range and the UE location of the host UAV as specified in clause 9.3.10 of TS 23.434.
Step 3.
UAE server 1 determines the list of other UAE servers 2..N operating in the same location.
Step 4.
For each UAE server determined in step 3, UAE server 1 requests the dynamic UE list and its corresponding location information for the application defined proximity range by providing the UE location of the host UAV.
Step 5.
The UAE server(s) 2..N obtain UE information corresponding to the UE location and application defined proximity range from its corresponding LMS 2..N as specified in TS 23.434.
Step 6.
The UAE server(s) 2..N sends get response with UE list in the UE location and application defined proximity range to UAE server 1.
Step 7.
If UAE server 1 has no dynamic UE location group for the UAV ID, the UAE server 1 creates a dynamic UE location based group with the UE list received from its LMS and other UAE server(s) 2..N. Further UAE server 1 stores the dynamic UE location based group. Otherwise, the UAE server 1 updates the dynamic UE location group with the latest UE information. The UAVs whose locations are no more within the application defined proximity range are removed from the dynamic UE location group.

Up
Step 1.
The UAE server 1 managing the dynamic UE location group sends subscribe dynamic information request to the UAE clients who are part of the dynamic UE location group. These UAE clients (UAVs) belong to the same UAS operator as the host UAV. The request consists of reporting configuration (e.g. frequency of reporting, event based).
Step 2.
The UAE client(s) store the subscription information.
Step 3.
The UAE client(s) send a subscription response to the UAE server 1.
