Abstract

A method can include transmitting, by a wireless device to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a registration request message for the wireless device. The method can also include transmitting, by the wireless device to the AMF, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request to establish a PDU session associated with an aerial service, wherein the transmitting is after an authentication and/or authorization procedure for the aerial service of the wireless device is confirmed. The method can further include receiving, by the wireless device from by the AMF, an indication of acceptance or rejection of the PDU session establishment request, wherein the rejection or acceptance of the PDU session establishment request is based on an indication of whether the aerial service of the wireless device has been authenticated and/or authorized by an uncrewed aerial system service supplier (USS).

Claims (34)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a wireless device to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a registration request message for the wireless device;

transmitting, by the wireless device to the AMF, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request to establish a PDU session associated with an aerial service, wherein the transmitting is after an authentication and/or authorization procedure for the aerial service of the wireless device is confirmed; and

receiving, by the wireless device from by the AMF, an indication of acceptance or rejection of the PDU session establishment request, wherein the rejection or acceptance of the PDU session establishment request is based on an indication of whether the aerial service of the wireless device has been authenticated and/or authorized by an uncrewed aerial system service supplier (USS).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication is received in a PDU session reject message.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

marking, based on the indication, an uncrewed aerial system (UAS) authentication and/or authorization (AA) status as revoked or failed, when the indication of rejection is received.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDU session is for communicating with a service supplier of the aerial service or wherein the PDU session is for command and control (C2) communication of the aerial service.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the aerial service of the wireless device has been authenticated and/or authorized using a procedure comprising sending, by the AMF to the USS, an authentication and/or authorization request.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the authentication and/or authorization request comprises an aerial vehicle identifier of the wireless device.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the authentication and/or authorization request comprises a generic public subscription identifier (GPSI) of the wireless device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication is received in a PDU session release message.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

sending a PDU session release complete message to the AMF and/or SMF in response to the indication.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

marking, based on the indication, an uncrewed aerial system (UAS) authentication and/or authorization (AA) status as revoked or failed, when the indication of rejection is received.

11. A wireless device comprising one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

transmit, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a registration request message for the wireless device;

transmit, to the AMF, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request to establish a PDU session associated with an aerial service, wherein the transmitting is after an authentication and/or authorization procedure for the aerial service of the wireless device is confirmed; and

receive, from by the AMF, an indication of acceptance of the PDU session establishment request, wherein the acceptance of the PDU session establishment request is based on an indication of whether the aerial service of the wireless device has been authenticated and/or authorized by an uncrewed aerial system service supplier (USS).

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the indication is received in a PDU session reject message.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

mark, based on the indication, an uncrewed aerial system (UAS) authentication and/or authorization (AA) status as revoked or failed, when the indication of rejection is received.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the PDU session is for communicating with a service supplier of the aerial service or wherein the PDU session is for command and control (C2) communication of the aerial service.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the aerial service of the wireless device has been authenticated and/or authorized using a procedure comprising sending, by the AMF to the USS, an authentication and/or authorization request.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the authentication and/or authorization request comprises an aerial vehicle identifier of the wireless device.

17. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the authentication and/or authorization request comprises a generic public subscription identifier (GPSI) of the wireless device.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the indication is received in a PDU session release message.

19. The wireless device of claim 18 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

mark, based on the indication, an uncrewed aerial system (UAS) authentication and/or authorization (AA) status as revoked or failed, when the indication of rejection is received.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

transmit, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a registration request message for the wireless device;

transmit, to the AMF, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request to establish a PDU session associated with an aerial service, wherein the transmitting is after an authentication and/or authorization procedure for the aerial service of the wireless device is confirmed; and

receive, from by the AMF, an indication of acceptance of the PDU session establishment request, wherein the acceptance of the PDU session establishment request is based on an indication of whether the aerial service of the wireless device has been authenticated and/or authorized by an uncrewed aerial system service supplier (USS).
