Abstract:
A method and one or more network nodes for use in a wireless communication network to determine whether a wireless device is aerial. The one or more one or more network nodes communicate with the wireless device to instruct to report one or more metrics of wireless device parameters. The one or more network nodes receives from the wireless device a report of the metrics and then compares the reported metrics to terrestrial metrics to determine whether the wireless device is aerial.
