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 13):
An aerial platform apparatus comprising:\n at least two main modules, a communications module and at least one remote antenna module; the communications module comprising at least one radio sub-system and an antenna sub-system comprising at least three antenna apertures, the radio sub-system comprising an RF transceiver, a beamformer, a baseband modem and a processor; a remote antenna module comprising an RF transceiver and an antenna sub-system comprising at least three antenna apertures; a communications interface transferring a digital IQ sample stream between the remote antenna module and the communications module; and the remote antenna module configured to:\n receive an RF signal from each antenna element of an antenna aperture; \n convert the RF signal to a digital IQ sample stream; and \n send the digital IQ sample stream to the communications module over the communications interface.
