Abstract: A flight path configuration method includes: acquiring flight path information of an unmanned aerial vehicle, wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle is in an idle state; determining a tracking area where the unmanned aerial vehicle is located, wherein at least one base station is located in the tracking area; and sending first paging signaling to the base station, wherein the first paging signaling includes the flight path information, and the first paging signaling is used to instruct the base station to send the flight path information to the unmanned aerial vehicle by means of preset signaling. The configuration of a flight path can be completed on the basis of an operator's network without establishing a proprietary link, thereby simplifying the configuration process.
