Techniques, apparatuses, and systems for improving communications involving unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs. An example method, in a user equipment, UE, in a UE-equipped unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, comprises the steps of determining (710) that flight information for UAVs in the vicinity of the UE-equipped UAV is needed and sending (720), to a wireless communication system, a request for flight information, in response to said determining. The step of determining that flight information is needed might be based on any of the following, in various examples: the flight path of the UE-equipped UAV has changed; a configured timer has expired; a discovery signal sent by a neighbor drone is received; the UE has been handed over; interference measured by the UE has gone above a configured threshold; and a channel quality measured by the UE has gone below a configured threshold.
