Abstract
A communications system including: first and second communications devices, each communications device including an antenna, a location system that determines a location of at least one of the first and second communications devices, a control system that receives a location indication indicative of the location from the location system, determines a relative location of the first and second communications devices and selectively controls a transmitting antenna of at least one of the first and second communications devices in accordance with the relative position to thereby optimise communication between the first and second communications devices.
Claims51
1) A communications system including:
- a) first and second communications devices, each communications device including an antenna;
- b) a location system including a sensor that determines a location of at least one of the first and second communications devices using signals from the sensor;
- and,
- c) a control system that:
- i) receives a location indication indicative of the location from the location system;
- ii) determines a relative location of the first and second communications devices;
- and,
- iii) selectively controls a transmitting antenna of at least one of the first and second communications devices in accordance with the relative position so that transmissions from the first antenna or the second antenna are aimed towards the second antenna or the first antenna.

26) A communications method for first and second communications devices, each communications device including an antenna, the method including:
- a) using a location system including a sensor to determine a location of at least one of the first and second communications devices using signals from the sensor;
- and,
- b) using a control system to:
- i) receive a location indication indicative of the location from the location system;
- ii) determine a relative location of the first and second communications devices;
- and,
- iii) selectively control a transmitting antenna of at least one of the first and second communications devices in accordance with the relative position so that transmissions from the first antenna or the second antenna are aimed towards the second antenna or the first antenna.

29) An antenna control system for communications between first and second communications devices, each communications device including an antenna, the antenna control system being configured to:
- a) receive a location indication from a location system, the location indication being indicative of a location of at least one of the first and second communications devices;
- b) determine a relative location of the first and second communications devices;
- and,
- c) selectively control at least one transmitting antenna in accordance with the relative location to thereby optimise communication between the communications devices.
