  • Intelligent communication mobile transponder
    Patent number: 9179393
    Abstract: An intelligent mobile transponder determines an optimal position to relay signals with respect to multiple users based on a comparison of the signal characteristics of all the users. An intelligent transponder communication system includes a first communication module to transmit a first communication signal at a first direction. The first communication signal has at least one first signal characteristic. A second communication module is configured to transmit a second communication signal at a second direction. The second communication signal has at least one second signal characteristic different from the at least one first signal characteristic. The intelligent mobile transponder is further configured to automatically self-locate to the optimal position to relay the communication signals between the multiple users.
