Patent attributes
A method and devices are described for wirelessly uploading and downloading data to and from a mobile vehicular platform while within range of a coordinated network of base stations that monitor the location of the vehicle and optimize data throughput using any combination of diversity and beam forming adaptive antenna techniques while the vehicle is on the ground or additionally in the case of aircraft, not only on the ground, but also during take-off, climb, en-route, holding, on-approach, touchdown and rollout. Particularly, in describing this art, the intent is to address the aspects of a quantifiable vehicle environment, where the vehicle's behavior is predictable, such as in train routes, bus routes, ship dockings and aircraft flight plans.
