1. A management system for a plurality of mobile cellular networks comprising:
- a network management control center (NMCC) configured to manage one or more mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems, the NMCC comprising;
a mapping module configured to;
generate a first coverage map corresponding to a first coverage area of a first MCN communication system of the one or more MCN communication systems based, at least in part, on data received from the first MCN communication system, wherein the first MCN communication system is configured to generate a cellular network for the first coverage area; and
generate a second coverage map corresponding to a second coverage area of a second MCN communication system of the one or more MCN communication systems based, at least in part, on data received from the second MCN communication system, wherein the second MCN communication system is configured to generate a cellular network for the second coverage area;
generate an updated coverage map corresponding to a third coverage area based, at least in part, on updated data received from the first MCN communication system, wherein the updated data is indicative of a change in location of the first MCN communication system, anda user interface module configured to provide instructions to display at least the updated coverage map generated by the mapping module.

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. The MCN can be managed by a network management control center (NMCC). The NMCC can be configured generate coverage maps of the NOM and NMC system coverage areas.

5. A method for generating and updating a coverage map for one or more mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a network management control center (NMCC), data from a first MCN communication system, wherein the first MCN communication system is located at a first location and is configured to generate a cellular network for a first coverage area; generating a first coverage map corresponding to the first coverage area based, at least in part, on the data received from the first MCN communication system; receiving data from a second MCN communication system, wherein the second MCN communication system is located at a second location and is configured to generate a cellular network for a second coverage area; generating a second coverage map corresponding to the second coverage area based, at least in part, on the data received from the second MCN communication system; receiving updated data from the first MCN communication system; generating an updated coverage map corresponding to a third coverage area based, at least in part, on the updated data received from the first MCN communication system, wherein the updated data is indicative of the first MCN communication system being located at a third location; and providing instructions to display at least the updated coverage map. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
-
receive data from a first MCN communication system, wherein the first MCN communication system is located at a first location and is configured to generate a cellular network for a first coverage area; generate a first coverage map corresponding to the first coverage area based, at least in part, on the data received from the first MCN communication system; receive data from a second MCN communication system, wherein the second MCN communication system is located at a first location and is configured to generate a cellular network for a second coverage area; generate a second coverage map corresponding to the second coverage area based, at least in part, on the data received from the second MCN communication system; receive updated data from the first MCN communication system; generate an updated coverage map corresponding to a second coverage area based, at least in part, on the updated data received from the first MCN communication system, wherein the updated data is indicative of the first MCN communication system being located at a third location; and provide instructions to display at least the updated coverage map. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
