  • On-demand aerial communication using directional antennas
    Patent number: 11658754
    Abstract: The present disclosure presents aerial communication systems and methods. One such system comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle platform and a communication component integrated with the unmanned aerial vehicle platform, wherein the communication component is configured to establish an Air to Air (A2A) communication channel with a remote directional antenna that is integrated with a remote unmanned aerial vehicle platform. The system further includes a computing component integrated with the unmanned aerial vehicle platform, wherein the computing component is configured to determine an optimal heading angle for transmission of communication signals from a directional antenna to the remote directional antenna in an unknown communication environment from received signal strength indicator (RSSI) information obtained from the remote directional antenna. Other systems and methods are also disclosed.
