Abstract

An autonomous vehicle having wireless access communications access point equipment is arranged to set up a base station in a coverage 'hole' by scanning to detect transmissions from another wireless communications access point, and determines a direction in which quality of coverage from the other wireless communications access point decreases, and directs the autonomous vehicle to move in the direction of decreasing coverage until it reaches a limit of coverage, at which point it hands over to another base station or, if no further base station is available, sets up as a wireless communications point connecting through the last base station to a backhaul connection.
