Abstract
Exchange of flight path information between a mobile network and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assumes a particular format for the flight path information, usually a waypoint format. However, there are many circumstances in which the mobile network may prefer flight path information in other formats, such as polygon formats (also referred to as 'flight volume formats'). Techniques and apparatuses described herein provide greater flexibility with respect to formatting requests for flight path information and encoding responses to such requests. For example, a base station may transmit a request for flight path information with a format indicator that informs a UAV of a desired format for the requested flight path information. The UAV may then provide the flight path information according to the format indicator.
