NETWORK COVERAGE AND POLICY INFORMATION GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION FOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE FLIGHT PLANNING

Abstract:

A method for managing an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is described. The method includes determining, by a Network Coverage and Policy Server (NCPS), an airspace; determining, by the NCPS, a granularity that indicates sizes for volume elements in a set of volume elements that logically divide the airspace; determining, by the NCPS, network policy information for volume elements in the set of volume elements to produce one or more maps; and transferring, by the NCPS, the one or more maps to a UAV Traffic Management (UTM) system.
