5G-UASP: 5G-based multi-provider UAV platform architecture

Abstract

The paper consists of a description of 5G-UASP, a multi-provider platform for drone services. It takes into account the involvement of air traffic management authority in all flight phases. We describe the core components of 5G-UASP and outline the procedures related to flight preparation, execution and termination phases. Instantiation of the concept is presented for 5G network. As it is shown, the usage of network slicing and MEC enables an immersive implementation of the architecture. Two options of instantiation of the reference architecture are included.
