  • Patent number: 10574339
    Abstract: A device can include control channel receiver circuitry to receive airborne vehicle control channel packets, decode circuitry to determine contents of the airborne vehicle control channel packets, transceiver circuitry to provide uplink to and receive downlink data from an airborne vehicle, processing circuitry, and a program for execution by the processing circuitry to perform operations comprising determining, based on data from the receiver circuitry, a received signal strength (RSS) of a signal from each of a plurality of airborne vehicles, determining, for each of the airborne vehicles and based on decoded data from the decode circuitry, a length of time the airborne vehicle will be within transmission range of the transceiver circuitry, determining, for each of the airborne vehicles and based on the determined RSS, determined length of time, and a determined bit-rate, an association metric, and causing association with the airborne vehicle associated with the greatest association metric.

  • Patent number: 9569539
    Abstract: Providing for dynamic auditing of components of a communication network is provided herein. By way of example, network components can be queried by way of dynamic and intelligent application programming interface (APIs) queries to extract data for the network components. Such data can then be compared with best practice rules to identify potential enhancements to efficiency or scalability of such components. In some aspects, an audit report can be output summarizing identified enhancements. In other aspects, data can be written to an updated component according to protocols suited to such component. Accordingly, an audit can provide feedback in light of best practices or can be utilized to dynamically upgrade a legacy system to newer system software and/or hardware components.
