Title: Apparatus and method for communications management
Inventor: PETER NOBLE HUDSON
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2016-08-10
Abstract: There is a need to maintain a communication link with a moving platform, for example aerial vehicles and, in particular, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A UAV may need to operate according to emissions control (EMCON) restrictions to avoid being detected or intercepted. To maintain a communications link between a moving platform and a recipient node, an optimal transmission power is determined which is high enough to ensure an adequate communication link but low enough to adhere to prevailing EMCON restrictions. To achieve this, the moving platform determines a distance and direction to a recipient node and uses the distance measurement to determine a best achievable transmission power of the communication link. Other considerations include reducing interference with co-located sensors or navigation equipment, prevailing network performance, weather conditions and dynamic EMCON restrictions. The moving platform may comprise several communications modules capable of transmitting over different wireless protocols as required.
