Abstract:
A terrestrial communications network for providing broadband internet access to aerial platforms is described. In some embodiments, the cell site sector communications equipment comprises of at least two radio modules and two antenna apertures, the cell site transmits data to an aerial platform on only one antenna aperture, but receives from the aerial platform on all antenna apertures. In some embodiments, the cell site communications equipment divides each of the N data packet streams destined to N aerial platforms into multiple data packet sub-streams and sends each data packet sub-stream of an aerial platform on a different antenna aperture using a different frequency channel or antenna polarization, forming N beams from each antenna aperture, one beam toward each aerial platform.

Claim (Index 1):
A system to provide broadband access to aerial platforms, comprising:\n a network of cell sites, each cell site composed of at least one sector, each sector equipped with a sector communications equipment comprising a processor, L radio modules and L sector antenna apertures, L an integer greater than 1; each sector antenna aperture configured to form at least one steerable beam per sector; each radio module transmits on only one antenna aperture and receives from all L sector antenna apertures; a plurality of aerial platforms that each comprise an aerial platform communications equipment comprising a radio sub-system and an antenna sub-system, the antenna sub-system comprising at least one antenna aperture forming at least one steerable beam; and\n each sector communications equipment configured to: \n divide each of N, an integer, data packet streams destined to N different aerial platforms into L data packet sub-streams; and \n transmit each of the L data packet sub-streams corresponding to an aerial platform on a different antenna aperture using a different polarization or frequency channel on each antenna aperture.
