METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LEVERAGING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION USING AN AERIAL VEHICLE

摘要

An approach is provided for providing wireless communication in a remote area by using an aerial vehicle. Signal strength information received at a plurality of antennas mounted over the aerial vehicles is monitored. The antennas are associated with a plurality of stabilizing control mechanisms of the aerial vehicle. The signal strength information is processed to determine control adjustment information, which is then transferred to the stabilizing control mechanisms for orienting the aerial vehicle such that maximum signal is reflected and/or repeated from the aerial vehicle.
