Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for mitigation and detection of drone-based interference are disclosed. An apparatus for a base station can include processing circuitry to encode a message to control a user equipment (UE) to measure received power received from a set of observed cells in a wireless communication network. Processing circuitry can further be configured to receive a report from the UE that includes received power for the set of observed cells. The processing circuitry can further determine interference power from the UE to a specified cell of the set of observed cells based on the report and further based on reported antenna gain. The processing circuitry can further determine whether to support communication of the UE within the wireless communication network based on the determined interference power from the UE. Other systems, methods and apparatuses are described.
