Location-Aware Profiles in an Aerial Network

摘要

Disclosed embodiments may help an aerial vehicle network to provide substantially continuous service in a given geographic area. An example method may be carried out at an aerial vehicle that is at a location associated with the first geographic area in an aerial network that includes a plurality of geographic areas. The balloon may determine that it should update its vehicle-state in accordance with a vehicle-state profile for the first geographic area. Then, in response, the balloon may determine the vehicle-state profile for the first geographic area, which may include one or more state parameters for balloons operating in the first geographic area. The balloon may then operate according to the vehicle-state profile for the first geographic area.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining, by a computing system of an aerial vehicle that is at a location associated with the first geographic area in an aerial network, wherein the aerial network comprises a plurality of geographic areas, that a vehicle-state of the aerial vehicle should be updated in accordance with a vehicle-state profile for the first geographic area; and in response to determining that the vehicle-state should be updated:
determining the vehicle-state profile for the first geographic area, wherein the vehicle-state profile comprises one or more state parameters for aerial vehicles operating in the first geographic area; andcausing the aerial vehicle to operate according to the vehicle-state profile for the first geographic area.
