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).
2 References p. 9
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 Terms p. 10
For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in TR 21.905 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.
Networked UAV Controller:
a UAV Controller connected to the 3GPP network and connected to the UAV via a 3GPP network.
Non Networked UAV Controller:
a UAV Controller not connected to the 3GPP network and connected to UAV via a transport outside the scope of 3GPP, e.g. internet connectivity or direct wireless communication over a technology outside the scope of 3GPP.
Third Party Authorized Entity:
is either a privileged Networked UAV Controller, or a privileged Non-Networked UAV Controller, or another entity which gets information on sets of UAV controllers and UAVs from the 3GPP network, and may be connected to the UAV via the Internet; it may be authorized by the UTM to interface with sets of UAV(s).
Command and Control (C2) Communication:
the user plane link to deliver messages with information of command and control for UAV operation from a UAV controller or a UTM to a UAV or to report telemetry data from a UAV to its UAV controller or a UTM.
CAA (Civil Aviation Administration)-level UAV Identity:
is assigned by USS/UTM, and uniquely identify a UAV at least within the scope of a USS/UTM.
Networked Remote ID:
The capability of providing Remote Identification and Tracking over 3GPP network.
Broadcast Remote ID:
The capability of providing Remote Identification and Tracking over broadcast radio links.
