Abstract:
A Modal antenna system, control system, and algorithm is described which provides for improved connectivity in a communication system where statistics of previous antenna modes or beam positions for a mobile device operating in conjunction with specific base stations, access points, or other communication terminals are used to make intelligent decisions for current antenna beam state for optimal connectivity. A modal antenna is implemented to provide a variable radiation pattern for improved connectivity and an algorithm is provided that controls current beam position as the mobile device moves through a communication network.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for controlling a modal antenna, the modal antenna operable in a plurality of antenna modes, each mode associated with a different radiation pattern characteristic, the method comprising:\n identifying a first terminal at a first waypoint; accessing a record associated with the first waypoint in memory; determining a first antenna mode of the plurality of antenna modes for communicating with the first terminal at the first waypoint based on the record associated with the first waypoint; identifying a second terminal at a second waypoint; accessing a record associated with the second waypoint in memory; determining a second antenna mode of the plurality of antenna modes for communicating with the second terminal at the second waypoint based on the record associated with the second waypoint; wherein the record associated with the first waypoint and the record associated with the second waypoint are generated in a learning mode.
