  • Publication number: 20210273718
    Abstract: A location of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is collected while the UAV is flying along a flight path. A communication signal distribution in a proximity of the location is determined. One or more relay locations for arranging one or more relays are determined based on the communication signal distribution to improve communication coverage along the flight path. An identification of the UAV is transmitted to an authentication center for authentication, without using the one or more relays, in response to determining, based on the communication signal distribution, that the UAV is capable of directly communicating with the authentication center or a communication network associated with the authentication center above a quality threshold.
