Abstract

A computer implemented method in a communications network for determining location information about an actual location of a drone comprises obtaining a reported location of the drone at a first time point and obtaining a measurement of radio conditions between the drone and a node in the telecommunications network, at the first time point. The method then comprises predicting radio conditions at one or more locations related to the reported location of the drone, and determining the location information about the actual location of the drone based on the measured radio conditions and the predicted radio conditions.
