Benefits: - Improved communication reliability - Enhanced coverage in remote locations - Increased flexibility in communication networks
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Satellite Communication System with UAV Relay Commercial uses: Telecommunications companies, government agencies, emergency response teams Market implications: Increased efficiency in communication operations, expanded coverage capabilities
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the UAV relay signals between the satellite and ground vehicle? 2. What are the specific control instructions used to orient the UAV towards the satellite?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing developments in UAV technology for communication relay purposes - Advances in satellite communication systems for improved coverage and reliability
Original Abstract Submitted
a system for enhanced satellite communication coverage via an unmanned aerial vehicle (uav). the system may include a satellite configured for orbiting earth, a vehicle configured for ground transportation on earth, and an unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) operable for relaying communication signals between the vehicle and the satellite. the system may be configured for transmitting control instructions to the uav for controlling aerial positioning of the uav relative to the vehicle and the satellite. the control instructions may specifying a roll, a pitch, and a yaw for orientating the uav to point towards the satellite.
