Abstract: A vehicular high-speed network system having a vehicle, a terminal associated with the vehicle and having a radio rate transformer, and stations each having a radio rate transformer which are connected to a network gateway. The radio rate transformers having a GPS device for providing GPS location data of the first radio rate transformer, an embedded computer system, a VHF/UHF radio connected to the GPS device for transmitting the GPS location data to the embedded computer system, a first sector antenna, a compass for providing a heading angle of the first sector antenna to the embedded computer system, and a broadband radio for establishing high-speed data connection. The stations are connected to the internet and adapted to enable the high-speed data connection to the terminal once the sector antennas have a line of sight connection.

Abstract: The invention being patented pertains to providing long-range high-speed broadband communication between two common vehicles at pairwise distance possibly as distant as 3 to 30 kilometers in the presence of vehicle mobility. Unlike some existing systems using illegally large transmission power settings, the invention is fully-compliant to FCC regulations. Unlike some existing systems which lack viable means to implement precise alignment for FCC-compliant directional gigahertz digital radios, we use FCC-compliant VHF/UHF radios to acquire critical geo-location information of the mobile targets, then the directional antenna of the gigahertz radio can be precisely aligned to achieve high-speed broadband data communication at long-range LoS distance.

Abstract: The invention being patented pertains to providing long-range high-speed broadband communication between two common vehicles at pairwise distance longer than 7 kilometers in the presence of vehicle mobility and rotation. We observe that, since common vehicles are driven by steering wheels or equivalence, the motion pattern of these common vehicles typically features gradual yaw-rotations within an angular speed limit defined by their steering mechanism, as well as unpredictable pitch-rotations due to lack of effective steering control along the pitch-axis. We take advantage of this observation, which has been ignored by the existing commercial communication systems so far, to invent a new communication system designed specifically for such mobile vehicular scenarios. As the result, the invention is able to instantly cope with up to ±D degrees abrupt pitch-rotations while all of the existing commercial communication systems must experience non-trivial mechanical delay.
