Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to supplement network coverage with a fleet of autonomous drones are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include configuring a first drone with information specifying a size and a target location associated with the coverage area. Disclosed example methods also include, when the first drone reaches the target location, monitoring for communication signals to determine whether a first coverage zone provided by the first drone and a second coverage zone provided by a second drone in a fleet of drones overlap. Disclosed example methods further include autonomously adjusting a position of the first drone to maintain overlapping of the first coverage zone provided by the first drone with the coverage area, but to reduce an amount of overlap of the first coverage zone with the second coverage zone.

Claim (Index 14):
A system, comprising:\n a plurality of drones that are each configured to provide wireless network coverage for a respective coverage zone; and a command center that is configured to perform operations that include:\n generating target locations for deploying the plurality of drones so that the plurality of drones will provide the wireless network coverage for mobile devices in a geographic area; \n determining, after the plurality of drones has reached their respective target locations, that:\n a coverage overlap exists between the coverage zones provided by at least some of the plurality of drones; and \n one or more coverage holes exist within the geographic area; and \n \n causing one or more of the plurality of drones to adjust their respective locations so as to decrease the coverage overlap and the one or more coverage holes.
