1. A system, comprising:
- a first mobile cellular network (MCN) communication system located within a first covered area, the first MCN communication system comprising;
a first radio access component configured to receive wireless communications from one or more first user equipment within the first covered area,a first control and data component in communication with the first radio access component and configured to provide first communication links between the one or more first user equipment within the first covered area, wherein the first MCN communication system independently provides the first communication links between the one or more first user equipment without communication to another MCN communication system, anda first data store comprising;
authentication data of the one or more first user equipment within the first covered area, andidentification data of one or more second user equipment within a second covered area associated with a second MCN communication system that independently provides second communication links between one or more second user equipment,wherein at least one of the first MCN communication system or the second MCN communication system is mobile during operation, and the first MCN communication system and the second MCN communication system communicate with each other to provide third communication links between the one or more first user equipment and the one or more second user equipment, andwherein the first MCN communication system is configured to communicate a location of the first MCN communication system to the second MCN communication system.

Abstract
Multiple mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems can be networked together to form a network of MCN communication systems (NOM). Each MCN communication system within the NOM can operate as an independent cellular network to provide communications between user equipment within a covered area. When a UE in one MCN of the NOM moves into a different MCN of the NOM, the corresponding MCN communication systems can handover the UE. The UE can also be handed over between MCN communication systems when the MCN communication systems move.
