1. A method for providing access for a drone to an area of restricted air space (“

  • restricted area”

    ) by a beacon device, comprising;

    transmitting, by the beacon device, beacon signals including access information associated with the drone accessing the restricted area;

    receiving, by the beacon device, one or more access parameters associated with the drone;

    determining, by the beacon device, a clearance for the drone to access the restricted area based on comparing the received one or more access parameters associated with the drone and the access information transmitted in the beacon signals; and

    transmitting a signal from the beacon device to the drone indicating the determined clearance for accessing the restricted area, comprises;

    transmitting an access approved notification from the beacon device to the drone when the determined clearance permits the drone access to the restricted area; and

    transmitting an access denied notification from the beacon device to the drone when the determined clearance does not permit the drone access to the restricted area, wherein the access denied notification includes information for the drone to take a corrective action.
