    Abstract: Methods and systems for sharing aerial assets amongst terrestrial network operators. Embodiments enable sharing of aerial assets amongst the terrestrial network operators and facilitate on-demand deployment of the aerial cells to improve coverage and capacity of the terrestrial network operators. Embodiments allow sharing of aerial assets such as aerial cell mount, backhaul, an aerial RAN, and aerial spectrum using sharing architectures. Embodiments provide a managing entity for forecasting data traffic pertaining to the terrestrial network operators and optimizing the deployment of the aerial cells, based on the forecasted data traffic, for enabling strategic deployment of the aerial cells. Embodiments ensure that the resources of the aerial cells are effectively utilized and the number of aerial cells required for enhancing the capacity of the terrestrial network operators is minimized.

    Abstract: A method of replacing a source aerial cell with a target aerial cell includes receiving a transfer request from the target aerial cell to transfer link related parameters between the source aerial cell and UE and link related parameters between the source aerial cell and a core network. The method further includes transmitting each of the link related parameters to the target aerial cell in response to the received transfer request and further notifying, via a notification message, a change in PCID of the source aerial cell to the UE. The method furthermore includes transmitting a cell switching request to the target aerial cell along with positioning information of the source aerial cell for a switchover of a communication operation with the UE and terrestrial cells served by the source aerial cell, and thereafter the target aerial cell moves to a hovering position indicated by the transmitted positioning information.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for positioning a Low Altitude Platform Station (LAPS) based drone cells for supporting communication in a 3GPP network. The methods may include receiving at least one feedback parameter from a UE pertaining to a current network traffic flow and mobility with respect of the UE. The UE is selected for an aerial network through a drone base station (DBS) cell based on service requirement determined from the feedback parameter. Further, a position for at least one DBS-cell is determined with respect to the at least one selected UE based on the at least one parameter to serve the selected UE. An aerial-communication link is established between the selected UE and the DBS cell by deploying one or more LAPS as a drone base station (DBS) in accordance with the determined position of DBS-cell to thereby augment a network connectivity of the selected UE.
