Abstract: A method of generating a flight path for an aircraft is provided. The method includes modeling geographic space and time that includes a plurality of mobile communication nodes. The model includes locations of each of the plurality of mobile communication nodes as those nodes move over time. The model also provides an indication of wireless connectivity between a radio on each of the plurality of communication nodes and a radio of the aircraft at their respective location. The method further includes running a plurality of flight paths through the model in order to identify a selected flight path that provides a desired level of connectivity between the aircraft and the plurality of communication nodes.

Abstract: A method of generating a path for a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes receiving information indicating a location of each of a plurality of communication nodes. The vehicle is configured to send wireless signals to and receive wireless signals from the plurality of communication nodes. A path of motion for the vehicle is determined based on coverage of the plurality of communication nodes along the path. Coverage corresponds to connectivity between the vehicle and the plurality of communication nodes.

Abstract: A method of generating a plan for a vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving information indicating a location of each of a plurality of communication nodes and the vehicle during a first time period and a second time period. The vehicle is configured to send wireless signals to and receive wireless signals with the plurality of communication nodes. The method includes developing a plan that defines a path of motion for the vehicle and a configuration for an antenna on the vehicle during the first time period and the second time period based on connectivity between the vehicle and the plurality of communication nodes.
