Abstract: A wireless communications system infrastructure includes an integrated unit of RF and switch components mounted on a transportable platform for providing a communications link to a public switched telephone network (20). An airplane (35) for executing a predetermined flight pattern includes a repeater for communicating with the integrated unit of RF and switch components and provides a link between the integrated RF and switch components and operational handsets within a repeater geographic area of coverage corresponding to the flight pattern. The wireless communications system infrastructure is therefore capable of being positioned strategically with respect to terrestrial cell stations and with respect to a flight pattern of the plane carrying the repeater to provide coverage to areas that otherwise may be out of range of an airborne repeater and conventional wireless system infrastructure components.

Abstract: An aircraft based communication system (10) defining a wireless service area (20) is disclosed. The communication system (10) includes a communication gateway (30) connected to a terrestrial based communication network. A first aircraft (12) is located in proximity to the wireless service area (20). The first aircraft (12) communicates with the gateway (30) and communicates with at least one subscriber (24) located within the wireless service area (20). The first aircraft (12) transmits a first control signal (16) within the wireless service area (20). A second aircraft (14) is located in proximity to the wireless service area (20). The second aircraft (14) being operable for communicating with the gateway (30) and being operable for communicating with the subscriber (24) located within the wireless service area (20). The second aircraft (14) flies in proximity to the first aircraft (12) for transferring communication sessions (56, 58) from the first aircraft (12) to the second aircraft (14) and maintaining a constant communication link between the subscriber (24) and the terrestrial based communication network.
