Maintaining network connectivity of aerial devices during unmanned flight

This invention describes a system for keeping drones connected to a wireless network throughout their flight. It does this by planning flight routes through specific air corridors, each pre-identified with an expected level of radio interference. As the drone flies, the system monitors for actual interference and dynamically adjusts the drone's network connection settings to maintain a stable link.

Why it matters: Filed before 5G and early 6G standards fully matured for drone integration. The claims address dynamic connectivity management, which is increasingly critical as drone traffic grows and cellular networks become the primary communication backbone for unmanned aerial vehicles.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware algorithms, network protocols, radio hardware.
