Systems and methods for a mobile access point wireless network system

A wireless network system for a method of improving a line of sight condition between a wireless device and a mobile access point, the method comprising receiving a request to connect to a mobile access point from a wireless device, receiving location data from the wireless device corresponding to a location of the wireless device, determining a beneficial location of the mobile access point, the beneficial location of the mobile access point being a location of the mobile access point with line of sight conditions between the mobile access point and the wireless device and moving the mobile access point to the beneficial location, the system comprising:

• the mobile access point;
• the wireless device;
• an actuator configured to move the mobile access point to the beneficial location, being a position having an improved line of sight condition between the wireless device and the mobile access point;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• receive the request to connect to the mobile access point from the wireless device;
• and
• until the mobile access point is moved into the beneficial location, the controller is further configured to repeatedly:
• receive the location data from the wireless device corresponding to the location of the wireless device;
• receive connectivity data between the wireless device and the mobile access point, the mobile access point being located at a point location;
• determine if there is an obstacle in the line of sight between the wireless device and the mobile access point at the point location based at least in part on the connectivity data between the wireless device and the mobile access point;
• and
• output a control signal to an actuator to move the mobile access point to a different point location;
• wherein, once the mobile access point is moved into the beneficial location, the controller determined there is a clear line of sight between the wireless device and the mobile access point at the point location based at least in part on the connectivity data between the wireless device and the mobile access point.

A wireless network system comprising:

• an actuator;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• receive a request to connect to a mobile access point from a wireless device;
• receiving location data from the wireless device corresponding to the location of the wireless device;
• and
• until a line of sight condition is determined to be one of a clear line of sight condition or an improved line of sight condition, to repeat a cycle of:
• receiving connectivity data between the wireless device and the mobile access point;
• determining the line of sight condition based at least in part on the connectivity data;
• and
• outputting a control signal to the actuator.

A controller in wired or wireless communication with an actuator, the controller configured to move a mobile access point by outputting one or more control signals to the actuator, the controller comprising:

• a processing platform comprising one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing platform, are configured to cause the controller to:
• receive requests from wireless devices to connect to the mobile access point;
• receive location data from at least a portion of the wireless devices;
• and
• until a set of line of sight conditions is determined to be an optimal set of line of sight conditions, repeat a cycle of:
• receiving connectivity data between the mobile access point and the wireless devices;
• determining the set of line of sight conditions based at least in part on the connectivity data between the mobile access point and at least a portion of the wireless devices;
• and
• outputting a control signal to the actuator.
