Patent number: 11721221Abstract: Flight plan implementation, generation, and management are facilitated. An example method includes receiving flight plan information including a flight route and a listing of base stations, connecting to a first base station on the listing, determining a first transition point between the first base station and a second base station on the listing based on the flight route, determining whether the first transition point has been reached, maintaining the connection with the first base station when the first transition point has not been reached, transitioning the connection from the first base station to the second base station when the first transition point has been reached, and/or dropping signals received from base stations not on the listing.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignees: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY, KIA CORPORATIONInventors: Damir Mustafic, Haywood S. Peitzer, James A. Wolters, II, Matthew Walsh, Thomas Becker

Patent number: 10637559Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to facilitate maintaining of antenna connectivity based on communicated geographic information are disclosed. An example method may include receiving, by a device, position information from a base station. The position information may include an altitude associated with the base station. The method may further include determining a positional difference between the device and the base station based at least on the position information. The method may further include configuring an antenna of the device based at least on the positional difference.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Haywood S. Peitzer, Damir Mustafic, James A. Wolters, II, Matthew Walsh, Thomas Becker
