Abstract

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to support UAV authentication and/or authorization. A WTRU may obtain a UAV profile (e.g., UAV id) via registration with a network. UAV authentication and authorization may be performed with a UAS server/UTM based on the UAV profile. UAV authentication and authorization procedures may be UAS-based (e.g., via a UTM over a user plane) and/or EAP-based (e.g., via a UTM with an AMF or SMF authenticator). A WTRU may setup a PDU session, for example, for UAV authentication with a UAS server/UTM over a user plane. A WTRU may perform UAV authentication with a UAS server/UTM via AMF (e.g., EAP over NAS/MM) or via SMF (e.g., EAP over NAS/MM during PDU session establishment). A UAS id and/or UAV-C id may be received, for example, via a UCU procedure or a PDU session establishment accept message.

Claims (27)

1 - 32 . (canceled)

33 . A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), comprising:

a processor configured to:

send a first message to a base station, wherein the first message indicates a vehicle identifier;

receive a second message from the base station, wherein the second message indicates that the vehicle identifier has been authenticated and indicates vehicle profile information; and

send a third message to the base station responsive to the received second message, wherein the third message indicates a request to establish a communication session based on the vehicle profile information.

34 . The WTRU of claim 33 , wherein the vehicle profile information comprises at least an allowed mission type, an allowed communication type, or a vehicle controller identifier.

35 . The WTRU of claim 33 , wherein the first message is a protocol data unit session (PDU) establishment request message.

36 . The WTRU of claim 33 , wherein the second message is associated with a protocol data unit (PDU) session authentication procedure.

37 . The WTRU of claim 33 , wherein the second message is a protocol data unit (PDU) session accept message.

38 . A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit for requesting a communication session, the method comprising:

sending a first message to a base station, wherein the first message that indicates a vehicle identifier;

receiving a second message from the base station, wherein the second message indicates that the vehicle identifier has been authenticated and indicates vehicle profile information; and

sending a third message to the base station responsive to the received second message, wherein the third message indicates a request to establish a communication session based on the vehicle profile information.

39 . The method of claim 38 , wherein the vehicle profile information comprises at least an allowed mission type, an allowed communication type, or a vehicle controller identifier.

40 . The method of claim 38 , wherein the first message is a protocol data unit session (PDU) establishment request message.

41 . The method of claim 38 , wherein the second message is associated with a protocol data unit (PDU) session authentication procedure.

42 . The method of claim 38 , wherein the second message is a protocol data unit (PDU) session accept message.

43 . A base station, the base station comprising:

a processor configured to:

receive a first message from a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), wherein the first message indicates a vehicle identifier;

send a second message to the WTRU, wherein the second message indicates that the vehicle identifier has been authenticated and indicates vehicle profile information; and

receive a third message from the WTRU responsive to sending the second message, wherein the third message indicates a request to establish a communication session based on the vehicle profile information.

44 . The base station of claim 43 , wherein the vehicle profile information comprises at least an allowed mission type, an allowed communication type, or a vehicle controller identifier.

45 . The base station of claim 43 , wherein the first message is a protocol data unit session (PDU) establishment request message.

46 . The base station of claim 43 , wherein the second message is associated with a protocol data unit (PDU) session authentication procedure.

47 . The base station of claim 43 , wherein the second message is a protocol data unit (PDU) session accept message.
