Abstract
Some methods enable a computer to receive location information from a device and determine a coverage region for the device. The device's coverage region is the area within range of a wireless signal coming from the device. The computer can determine that part of the device's coverage region covers part of a specified region and instruct the device to provide wireless access to a network associated with the first region.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a first radio system and a second radio system;
- the first radio system configured to:
- determine a first location of a connected device in a first coverage area, where the location of the connected device is associated with a route in a topology of routes within at least a total coverage area of the system;
- configure a first antenna serving the first coverage area, connected to the radio, to send and receive data over a first wireless link to the connected device;
- the second radio system configured to:
- identify a second coverage area, in response to detecting movement by the connected device along the route towards a second location in at least the second coverage area, wherein the connected device at least remains the first coverage area;
- configure a second antenna serving the second coverage area to send and receive data over a second wireless link to the connected device at the second location;
- and
- send data over the second wireless link to the connected device, wherein the connected device receives data from both the first antenna and the second antenna.

A method comprising:
- Determine, by a first radio system, a first location of a connected device in a first coverage area, where the location of the connected device is associated with a route in a topology of routes within at least a total coverage area of the system;
- configure, by the first radio system a first antenna serving the first coverage area, connected to the radio, to send and receive data over a first wireless link to the connected device;
- identify, by a second radio system, a second coverage area, in response to detecting movement by the connected device along the route towards a second location in at least the second coverage area, wherein the connected device at least remains the first coverage area;
- configure, by the second radio system, a second antenna serving the second coverage area to send and receive data over a second wireless link to the connected device at the second location;
- and
- send, by the second radio system, data over the second wireless link to the connected device, wherein the connected device receives data from both the first antenna and the second antenna.
