Abstract: The aspects described herein enable an apparatus (e.g., an autonomous user equipment (UE), such as an unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), an autonomous vehicle (AV), and an autonomous consumer Internet of things (CIoT) device, for example) to receive a notification message indicating a transmission of a high-priority message for one or more autonomous UEs, receive the high-priority message, wherein the high-priority message indicates at least one command associated with the one or more autonomous UEs, and perform the at least one command based on the high-priority message. In some examples, the high-priority message may be a new system information block (SIB) for autonomous UEs.

Abstract: The described techniques provide for a wireless base station to receive emergency instructions for aerial UEs from a third party system. The base station may generate a broadcast message including the emergency instructions, associated parameters, and an indication that the broadcast message is for aerial UEs. The base station may transmit a short message indicating aerial UEs to monitor for the broadcast message and may transmit the broadcast message accordingly. An aerial UE may receive the short message and the broadcast message and, based on the indication that the broadcast message is for aerial UEs, may decode emergency information of the broadcast message to obtain the emergency instructions and associated parameters. The aerial UE may perform one or more actions based on the decoded emergency instructions.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for one or more aerial user equipments (UEs) to receive a broadcast message indicating emergency information via a cellular radio access network (RAN). A base station may receive an indication of emergency information from a third party. The base station may configure a broadcast message including the emergency information. In some examples, the base station may set an emergency protocol notification bit in the broadcast message. The base station may transmit the broadcast message to one or more aerial UEs via a RAN. An aerial UE may receive and decode the broadcast message to obtain emergency instructions. In some examples, the aerial UE may monitor for a system information block (SIB) that may include the emergency instructions. The aerial UE may perform one or more aerial operations based on the emergency instructions.
