1  Scopep. 7

This study item shall address the following system enablers for 5GS and EPS to support additional scenarios and requirements for UAV (Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles) and UAM (Urban Air Mobility) by identifying how and whether existing mechanisms can be re-used, and identifying architectural and functional modifications required:
  • a mechanism to transport Broadcast Remote Identification and C2 communications via the 3GPP system;
  • a mechanism to support aviation applications such as Detect And Avoid (DAA).

2  Referencesp. 7

The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
  • References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non-specific.
  • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
  • For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.

3.1  Termsp. 8

For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in TR 21.905, TS 23.256 and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905 or TS 23.256.
U2X communication:
A communication to support UAV-to-Everything (U2X) services leveraging Uu and / or PC5 reference points. U2X services are realized by various types of U2X applications, i.e. UAV-to-UAV (U2U) and UAV-to-Network (U2N).
U2X message
A dedicated messaging type of U2X service, for example Broadcast Remote ID messages.
U2X service type:
A type of U2X service, which is identified by e.g. ITS-AID (ITS Application Identifier), PSID (Provider Service Identifier) or AID (Application Identifier).

4  Architectural Assumptions and Principlesp. 8

4.1  Architectural Requirementsp. 8

  • When applicable, existing UAV authentication and authorization procedures specified in TS 23.256 should be reused as much as possible for solutions.
  • When applicable, solutions that involve UAV to UAV communications should apply to UAVs of different PLMNs.
  • Solutions should consider both UAVs in coverage and UAVs out of coverage, though different solutions may apply to the two cases.
  • When applicable, solutions should be backward compatible with mechanisms specified in TS 23.256.
Up

4.2  Architectural Assumptionsp. 9

The following architectural assumptions apply:
  • Solutions for transport of broadcast remote identification shall support existing regulations for remote identification, including FAA regulations [6] and U-Space regulations EASA NPA 2021-14 [7].
  • For solutions using PC5, the use of relay communications is not considered in this study.
  • A UAV shall obtain authorization from 3GPP system and USS to perform direct C2 communication as defined in TS 22.125.
