Abstract
A method for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV, for generating a temporary flight-plan for a region is provided. The method includes determining whether any air traffic control station is emitting a flight-plan for the region. If it is determined that no air traffic control station is emitting a flight-plan for the region, the method further includes determining a score for the UAV based on properties of the UAV and receiving scores from other UAVs within the region. Additionally, the method includes determining whether the UAV is a master UAV or a slave UAV for generating the temporary flight-plan based on the calculated score for the UAV and the received scores from the other UAVs. If it is determined that the UAV is a master UAV, the method includes performing a first task in generating the temporary flight-plan.
