Abstract: A method for managing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is described. The method may include receiving flight information describing a flight plan for the UAV; determining, based on the flight information, quality-of-service requirements for accomplishing the flight plan; transmitting, toward a policy and charging control system that manages a wireless network, a reservation request for reserving resources in the wireless network to achieve the quality-of-service requirements; receiving, from the policy and charging control system, a response to the reservation request; and determining a status of the flight plan based on the response from the policy and charging control system.
