4 Overview p. 8
The present document focuses on the 3GPP support for a wide range of applications and scenarios by using low altitude UAVs in various commercial and government sectors. The present document presents use cases based on continuation/enhancement of TS 22.125, and defines potential new service level requirements and KPIs for supporting various UAV applications by the 3GPP system. The present documentconsiders service requirements and KPIs related to command and control (C2), payload (e.g. camera) and the operation of radio access nodes on-board UAVs.
