Abstract
A drone capable of bidirectional communication and control over a cellular network is provided with a signal interference minimization controller configured to periodically scan for neighboring serving cells and determine if beamforming adjustments and/or gain adjustments can be made to an antenna assembly to minimize interference experienced by the drone, in particular interference experienced during travel above the sightlines of base stations defining the network.
