WIRELESS COVERAGE TESTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES
First Claim
1. An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based method of wireless coverage testing, the UAV-based method comprising:
- with a UAV comprising a wireless coverage testing configuration, flying the UAV in a route in a wireless coverage area associated with a cell tower;
collecting measurement data via the wireless coverage testing configuration during the flying and associating the collected measurement data with location identifiers; and
subsequent to the flying, processing the collected measurement data with the location identifiers to provide an output detailing wireless coverage in the wireless coverage area including wireless coverage at ground level and above ground level to a set elevation.

12. An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) adapted for wireless coverage testing, the UAV comprising:
-
one or more rotors disposed to a body; wireless interfaces; a wireless coverage testing configuration; a processor coupled to the wireless interfaces, the one or more rotors, and the wireless coverage testing configuration; and memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to; cause the UAV to fly in a route in a wireless coverage area associated with a cell tower; collect measurement data via the wireless coverage testing configuration during the flight and associate the collected measurement data with location identifiers; and subsequent to the flight, provide the collected measurement data with the location identifiers for processing to provide an output detailing wireless coverage in the wireless coverage area including wireless coverage at ground level and above ground level to a set elevation. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
