ML-Based UAV Routing with Dynamic Geofencing Using 5G NEF and CAMARA APIs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In dense urban environments, traditional GNSS-based navigation for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) suffers from multipath interference and signal obstructions, compromising positioning accuracy and increasing risks of collisions and airspace violations. This paper proposes a novel machine learning-based system architecture for autonomous UAV parcel delivery, leveraging standardized 5G Network Exposure Function (NEF) and CAMARA Device Location API to achieve sub-meter location precision. Our approach integrates dynamic geofencing and predictive rerouting at the network edge, powered by a Random Forest-based collision prediction model that proactively adjusts UAV trajectories to avoid restricted zones in real time. Through simulations of six UAVs navigating dynamically updated no-fly zones, we demonstrate that our system significantly reduces time spent in restricted areas to near zero, compared to GNSS-only and rule-based methods, while limiting path-length inflation to approximately 30% for five of six flights. These results underscore the potential of combining 5G-enabled location services with edge intelligence to enhance safety and compliance in urban UAV operations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
