Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to a network for providing air-to-ground wireless communication in various cells. The network includes a first base station array, each base station of which includes a respective first antenna array defining a directional radiation pattern that is oriented in a first direction, wherein each base station of the first base station array is disposed spaced apart from another base station of the first base station array along the first direction by a first distance. The network also includes a similar second base station array where the second base station array extends substantially parallel to the first base station array and is spaced apart from the first base station array by a second distance to form continuous and at least partially overlapping cell coverage areas between respective base stations of the first and second base station arrays.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating a network design based on existing network assets. One or more parameters regarding a plurality of existing wireless network assets used to provide support for a wireless communication technology can be determined. The plurality of existing wireless network assets are automatically analyzed for supporting equipment of a new wireless communication technology at least in part by comparing a set of specified criteria to the one or more parameters to determine a subset of the plurality of existing wireless network assets. An indication of the subset of the plurality of existing wireless network assets for supporting the equipment of the new wireless communication technology can accordingly be generated.

Abstract: One example embodiment includes a computing environment that includes an application for connecting a remote user to a client. The application performs a method of providing functional advertisements to the user. The method includes providing a functional advertisement, where the functional advertisement includes an advertisement that the user can interact with. The method also includes connecting a user to the client over a network and transmitting the functional advertisement from the client to a user over the network.

Abstract: One example embodiment includes a computing environment that includes an application for connecting a remote user to a client. The applications performs a method of providing a social media experience for the user. The method includes connecting a first user to a first client over a network and connecting a second user to a second client over the network. The method also includes identifying the second user as a friend of the first user and notifying the first user that the second user is connected over the network. The method further includes allowing the first user to communicate with the second user over the network.

Abstract: One example embodiment includes a computing environment that includes an application for connecting a remote user to an event host. The application performs a method of providing interactivity between the host and the user. The method includes providing a host for an event and connecting a user to the host over a network. The method also includes transmitting real-time content over the network to the user and transmitting interactive content from the host to the user. The interactive content is related to the real-time content and can be manipulated by the user.
