1. A system comprising:
- a server computing system comprising at least one hardware processor and configured to manage one or more mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems, the server computing system configured with computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the server computing system 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 independently provide communication links between one or more user equipment within the first coverage area without communication to another of the one or more MCN communication systems;
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 and independently provide communication links between one or more user equipment within the second coverage area without communication to another of the one or more MCN communication systems;
calculate a predicted coverage area based, at least in part, on updated data received from at least one of the first MCN communication system, the second MCN communication system, or from user input, wherein the updated data is indicative of a predicted change in location of the first MCN communication system or the second MCN communication system to at least one predicted location;
generate an updated coverage map corresponding to the predicted coverage area of at least one of the first MCN communication system or the second MCN communication system; and
provide instructions to display at least the updated coverage map.

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.

8. 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 server, 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 and independently provide communication links between one or more user equipment within the first coverage area without communication to another of the one or more MCN communication systems; 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, by a server, 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 and independently provide communication links between one or more user equipment within the second coverage area without communication to another of the one or more MCN communication systems; 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 at least one of the first MCN communication system, the second MCN communication system, or user input, wherein the updated data is indicative of a predicted change in location of the first MCN communication system or the second MCN communication system to at least one predicted location; calculating a predicted coverage area of the first MCN communication system or the second MCN communication system based, at least in part, on the updated data, wherein the predicted coverage area is indicative of the first MCN communication system or the second MCN communication system positioned at the at least one predicted location; generating an updated coverage map corresponding to the predicted coverage area of at least one of the first MCN communication system or the second MCN communication system; and providing instructions to display at least the updated coverage map. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
