  • UE MODEM FOR DRONES WITH FLIGHT PATH AND 3D WIRELESS ENVIRONMENT SIGNAL QUALITY INFORMATION
    Publication number: 20200413267
    Abstract: Systems and methods of controlling drones are disclosed. Computation and control of beam direction and frequency is dependent on drone characteristics including three-dimensional location, orientation, and flight plan, with messages exchanged between the drone processor and modem dependent on which entity is performing the computation and control. Communications with the serving cell use a directional antenna and cell selection using an omni-directional antenna. MDT measurement and reporting and IDC measurement uses the drone characteristics and battery life.
