Abstract

Example methods and systems for adjusting the beam width of radio frequency (RF) signals for purposes of balloon-to- ground communication are described. One example method includes determining, basedon respective locations of a plurality of balloons and areas covered by respective ground-facing communication beams of the balloons, a contiguous ground coverage area served by the plurality of balloons, where the communication beam of a balloon defines a corresponding individual coverage area within the ground coverage area, determining a change in position of at least one of the balloons, basedon the change in position of the at least one balloon, determining an adjustment to a first of the individual coverage areas in an effort to maintain the contiguous ground coverage area after the change in position of at least one of the balloons, and adjusting a width of the ground-facing communication beam of the balloon corresponding to the first individual coverage area in order to make the determined adjustment to the first individual coverage area.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional case of an invention patent application with an application date of November 17, 2014, an application number of "201480073477.0", and an invention title of "Adjusting the Beamwidth of Air-to-Ground Communications Based on the Distance from Nearby Balloons to Maintain Contiguous Services" Application. Background technique [0002] Unless otherwise indicated herein, the materials described in this section are not prior art to the claims in this application and are not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section. [0003] Computing devices, such as personal computers, laptops, tablet computers, cellular telephones, and countless types of networking-capable devices, are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in many aspects of modern life. As such, the demand for data connectivity via the Internet, cellular data networks, and other such networks is increasing. However, in many parts of the world, data connectivity is still not available...
