Abstract

A method of providing communication coverage includes collecting a location of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) while the UAV is flying along a flight path, determining a communication signal distribution in a proximity of the location, determining one or more locations for arranging one or more relays based on the communication signal distribution to improve communication coverage along the flight path, and instructing the UAV to communicate with a user terminal via at least one of the one or more relays when the UAV is determined, based on the communication signal distribution, to be incapable of directly communicating with the user terminal at a predetermined minimum quality level.
