Self-organizing communications network nodes and systems

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV). In one embodiment, the AAV may include a communications device, antenna element, and battery. A control circuit can be coupled to the communications device and battery. The control circuit can establish a self-organizing LAN with computing devices that each connect directly, dynamically, and non-hierarchically to the LAN. The antenna element can include a polymer and graphene sheets that forms a three-dimensional percolated network within the polymer. The graphene sheets can be separated on a nanoscale within the polymer. The AAV can fly autonomously or via a remote control. At least one of the computing devices can be a wearable communications node or handheld radio. The control circuit can be configured to identify a RF signal associated with a user and position the AAV relative to the user to maintain a predetermined SNR and/or Fresnel zone.
