System and method for dynamic wireless aerial mesh network
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a wireless communication from a ground base station associated with a first agency;
transmitting the wireless communication to an end unit radio transceiver associated with the first agency,wherein the transmitting is via a first aerial node (AN) of two or more ANs of a first dynamic wireless aerial mesh network that provides persistent wide area communications service; and
adjusting a flight pattern of the first AN based on changes to the first dynamic wireless aerial mesh network.

Abstract
Embodiments include a dynamic wireless aerial mesh network having aerial nodes that provides real-time persistent wide area communications service to provide communications in response to an incident. Typically, the area services is a wide area that is physically inaccessible via ground transportation. In addition, embodiments include the formation of a decentralized mesh supernetwork comprising two or more dynamic wireless aerial mesh networks where each dynamic wireless aerial mesh network is owned by a different agency (e.g., a secure community). A member of a first dynamic wireless aerial mesh network may send a request to a member of a second dynamic wireless aerial mesh network for the first dynamic wireless aerial mesh network to join the second dynamic wireless aerial mesh network to form a mesh supernetwork, and receive an acceptance from the member of the second dynamic wireless aerial mesh network.
