Deployment criteria for unmanned aerial vehicles to improve cellular phone communications
Abstract:
System, method and computer program product for extending mobile device cellular carrier network coverage using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with telecommunications devices to act as temporary mobile device cellular network towers. The system and method extends cellular phone coverage of a land-based cellular phone network by: receiving information for determining a predicted or actual increase in aggregate cellular phone usage demand in an area at a determined time; identifying, based on an the predicted or actual increased aggregate cellular phone usage demand for the area, whether there exists a mismatch of existing usage coverage compared with the determined increased aggregate demand for that area; determining, based on an identified mismatch, a plan for sending signals to and deploying one or more mobile cellular unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) having telecommunications equipment configured to extend cellular phone network coverage of an existing land-based cellular phone network at the mismatched area.
