Abstract
A device may receive a request to establish a session for a wireless communication device over a wireless network; identify the wireless communication device as an unmanned aerial vehicle; modify operating parameters of a radio access network (RAN), with which the wireless communication device has a radio resource control (RRC) link, to optimize communication between the access network and the unmanned aerial vehicle. The wireless network includes the RAN.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a processor to execute instructions to:
- receive a request to establish a session for a wireless communication device over a wireless network;
- identify the wireless communication device as an unmanned aerial vehicle;
- modify operating parameters of a radio access network (RAN), with which the wireless communication device has a radio resource control (RRC) link, to optimize communication between the access network and the unmanned aerial vehicle,
- wherein the wireless network includes the RAN.
A method comprising:
- receiving a request to establish a session for a wireless communication device over a wireless network;
- identifying the wireless communication device as an unmanned aerial vehicle;
- modifying operating parameters of a radio access network (RAN), with which the wireless communication device has a radio resource control (RRC) link, to optimize communication between the access network and the unmanned aerial vehicle,
