## Abstract

Provided are a wireless communication method and corresponding communication devices. The wireless communication method includes: transmitting, by a first communication device, first information to a second communication device, where the first information includes identification information of an aerial user terminal. The first communication device includes a transmitting unit, which is configured to transmit first information to a second communication device, where the first information includes identification information of an aerial user terminal. The second communication device includes a receiving unit, which is configured to receive first information from a first communication device, where the first information includes identification information of an aerial user terminal.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A wireless communication method, comprising:
transmitting, by a first communication device, first information to a second communication device, wherein the first information includes identification information of an aerial user terminal,
wherein the first information further includes at least one piece of mobility status information of the aerial user terminal, radio resource measurement information of the aerial user terminal, configuration information of the aerial user terminal, and scheduling information of the aerial user terminal.

### Claim 2

A first communication device for wireless communication, comprising:
a transmitting unit configured to transmit first information to a second communication device, wherein the first information includes identification information of an aerial user terminal,
wherein the first information further includes at least one piece of mobility status information of the aerial user terminal, radio resource measurement information of the aerial user terminal, configuration information of the aerial user terminal, and scheduling information of the aerial user terminal.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The first communication device of claim 2, wherein the transmitting unit is further configured to transmit second information to the second communication device, wherein the second information includes information on forwarding the first information.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The first communication device of claim 3, wherein the information on forwarding the first information includes a number of times to forward the first information.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The first communication device of claim 3, wherein the information on forwarding the first information includes set information of base stations to which the first information is forwarded.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The first communication device of claim 2, wherein the first information further includes location status information of the aerial user terminal.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The first communication device of claim 2,
the first communication device further comprising a receiving unit configured to receive a first request for the first information transmitted by the second communication device;
wherein the transmitting unit is configured to transmit the first information to the second communication device in response to the first request.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The first communication device of claim 7,
the receiving unit further configured to receive a second request transmitted by the second communication device,
wherein the second request includes request information for at least one piece of mobility status information of the aerial user terminal, location status information of the aerial user terminal, radio resource measurement information of the aerial user terminal, configuration information of the aerial user terminal, and scheduling information of the aerial user terminal; and
wherein the transmitting unit is configured to transmit information requested by the second communication device to the second communication device in response to the second request.

### Claim 9

A second communication device for wireless communication, comprising:
a receiving unit configured to receive first information from a first communication device, wherein the first information includes identification information of an aerial user terminal,
wherein the receiving unit is further configured to receive second information from the first communication device, wherein the second information includes information on forwarding the first information, and
wherein the first communication device serves as a serving base station for the aerial user terminal.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The second communication device of claim 9,
the second communication device further comprising:
a transmitting unit configured to determine whether a forwarding condition is satisfied or not according to the second information, and forward the first information if the forwarding condition is satisfied.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The second communication device of claim 10, wherein the information on forwarding the first information includes a number of times to forward the first information.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The second communication device of claim 10, wherein the information on forwarding the first information includes set information of base stations to which the first information is forwarded.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The first communication device of claim 9, wherein the first information further includes at least one piece of mobility status information of the aerial user terminal, location status information of the aerial user terminal, radio resource measurement information of the aerial user terminal, configuration information of the aerial user terminal, and scheduling information of the aerial user terminal.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The second communication device of claim 9, further comprising a transmitting unit configured to transmit a first request for the first information to the first communication device before the receiving unit receives the first information from the first communication device.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The second communication device of claim 14, wherein the transmitting unit is further configured to transmit a second request to the first communication device before the receiving unit receives second information from the first communication device, wherein the second request includes request information for at least one piece of mobility status information of the aerial user terminal, location status information of the aerial user terminal, radio resource measurement information of the aerial user terminal, configuration information of the aerial user terminal, and scheduling information of the aerial user terminal.
