Abstract

Solutions for low latency edge processing for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, 'drone') wireless links (e.g., air interfaces) include: receiving, by a first base station of a cellular network, from a UAV controller, over a first air interface, a first signal; routing the first signal from the first base station to the UAV, over a second air interface, without routing the first signal through a virtual private network (VPN); and controlling a flight parameter of the UAV based on at least the first signal. Further examples include: registering, by a UAV controller, with a cellular network; registering, by a UAV, with the cellular network; transmitting, by the UAV controller, to a first base station of the cellular network, over a first air interface, a first signal; and receiving, by the UAV, from the cellular network, over a second air interface, the first signal, without routing the first signal through a VPN.
