Abstract

Systems and methods for providing unlicensed drone User Equipment (UE) detection in a cellular communications network are disclosed. In this regard, embodiments of a method of operation of a server for providing unlicensed drone UE detection in a cellular communications network are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, from a network node, a measurement report for a UE and predicting that the UE is an unlicensed drone UE based on the measurement report for the UE. The method further includes taking one or more actions upon predicting that the UE is an unlicensed drone UE. In this manner, an efficient unlicensed drone detection mechanism is provided.
