  • Publication number: 20230379856
    Abstract: A method can include transmitting, by a wireless device to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a registration request message for the wireless device. The method can also include transmitting, by the wireless device to the AMF, a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request to establish a PDU session associated with an aerial service, wherein the transmitting is after an authentication and/or authorization procedure for the aerial service of the wireless device is confirmed. The method can further include receiving, by the wireless device from by the AMF, an indication of acceptance or rejection of the PDU session establishment request, wherein the rejection or acceptance of the PDU session establishment request is based on an indication of whether the aerial service of the wireless device has been authenticated and/or authorized by an uncrewed aerial system service supplier (USS).
