摘要： An automated method of determining a location of an aerial platform is described. The method includes: transmitting, from the aerial platform, a first pilot signal; receiving, at a set of ground devices, the first pilot signal; determining a first set of values based on measurements associated with the first pilot signal; and calculating a position of the aerial platform based at least partly on the first set of values. An automated method adapted to determine a location of a ground device includes: transmitting, from the ground device, a first pilot signal; receiving, at each aerial platform in a set of aerial platforms, the first pilot signal; determining a first set of values based on measurements associated with the first pilot signal; and calculating a position of the ground device based at least partly on the first set of values. A system adapted to provide location information is described.

摘要： Systems and methods are described that use the downlink and uplink frequency bands of the fixed satellite service (FSS) and direct broadcast service (DBS) systems to provide broadband access to aerial platforms including aircraft, drones, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as balloons. The secondary service aerial platform transmitters are configured to avoid interference into the primary satellite service receivers. The aerial platform may be able to detect and connect to the cell site with the strongest signal. The aerial platform may be able to handoff from one cell site to another. Systems and methods are described that provide broadband access to ground terminal via aerial platforms such as drones and UAVs such as balloons.

摘要： An air to ground (ATG) broadband access system is described. The system includes: a plurality of cell sites that together form a service coverage area, each cell site adapted to generate a local coverage area, each sell site including: multiple antenna fixtures situated at a lower corner of the local coverage area, where the local coverage area includes multiple sectors and each antenna fixture is associated with a different sector than each other antenna fixture; and a radio sub-system connected to each antenna fixture, the radio sub-system including a transmitter capable of modulating and transmitting signals through the antenna fixture and a receiver capable of demodulating and decoding signals received through the antenna fixture; and at least one aerial platform including: at least one antenna fixture capable of forming beams toward the cell site; and a radio sub-system capable of modulating and transmitting signals and demodulating and decoding signals.
