  • Patent number: 12213214
    Abstract: A method for dynamic and extensible creation of an extensible wireless network, using a set of drones that individually support server processes. The drones interact with one another, exchanging information, type of coverage, type and amount of throughput, location, etc. A control node connects to a wired network. The node operates a leader election protocol, captures state information from the drones, and positions/re-positions the drones as necessary. Drones are flown in to position and then engaged as necessary to stretch/adapt the coverage as necessary. The drone's power utilization is monitored and its coverage area modified as necessary to optimize power utilization. The control node performs drone-based coverage/power utilization computations, and attempts to apply the appropriate location assignments to provide maximum network coverage (extensibility) while also preserving drone-specific power (battery) utilization.

A reset command is generated based on the output signal being greater than the analog input signal. The encoder splits a ripple associated with the reference voltage into multiple pulses in response to a reset command. The compensation circuit generates, responsive to the reset command, compensation pulses to compensate the multiple pulses.
