Uncrewed aerial vehicle flight path optimization

A method performed by an apparatus configured for wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving input information regarding a radio access network (RAN) that provides coverage for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) user equipment (UE), wherein the input information includes at least one of minimization of drive test (MDT) reporting, self-organizing network (SON) reporting, or information regarding a radio condition of the RAN;
• obtaining output information using an artificial intelligence or machine learning (AI/ML) model and the input information, wherein the output information indicates a reconfiguration of at least one of:
• a network node of the RAN, or
• the UAV UE;
• and
• configuring at least one of the network node or the UAV UE in accordance with the output information.

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon configured to cause one or more processors of an apparatus to:

• receive input information regarding a radio access network (RAN) that provides coverage for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) user equipment (UE), wherein the input information includes at least one of minimization of drive test (MDT) reporting, self-organizing network (SON) reporting, or information regarding a radio condition of the RAN;
• obtain output information using an artificial intelligence or machine learning (AI/ML) model and the input information, wherein the output information indicates a reconfiguration of at least one of:
• a network node of the RAN, or
• the UAV UE;
• and
• configure at least one of the network node or the UAV UE in accordance with the output information.
