Patent ID: 10771993

Abstract:
The subject of the invention is a method for determining a quality of at least one mobile communications network in an air corridor (8), which method comprises:an unmanned aerial vehicle (1) comprising a mobile communications receiver (3) configured to determine the quality of the at least one mobile communications network, and comprising a positioning device (4) configured to determine a position of the unmanned aerial vehicle (1) in the air corridor (8), and comprises the steps:arranging a plurality of radio-based control devices (2) along a ground path (6) corresponding to a linear path (7) in the air corridor (8), each of said control devices (2) being configured to control the unmanned aerial vehicle (1) through the air corridor (8) and being spaced apart from one another on the ground (5), such that the unmanned aerial vehicle (1) when flying the linear path (7) at no position is farther than in visual contact range (9) from at least one of the control devices (2);flying the unmanned aerial vehicle (1) along the linear path (7) by controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle (1) by means of the plurality of control devices (2) in turn; andduring the flying of the linear path (7), determining the quality of the at least one mobile communications network at the given position in the air corridor (8).
