Patent number: 11398954Abstract: Embodiments include devices and methods for managing network communication of an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV). A processor of the UAV may determine an altitude of the UAV. The processor may optionally also determine a speed or vector of the UAV. Based on the determined altitude and/or speed/vector of the UAV, the processor may adjust the communication parameter of the communication link between the UAV and a communication network. The processor may transmit signals based on the adjusted communication parameter, which may reduce radio frequency interference caused by the transmissions of the UAV with the communication network.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2021Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Charles Wheeler Sweet, III, Edward Harrison Teague, Michael Franco Taveira
