Abstract

Systems and associated methods for adaptive beam aggregation in wireless communications between unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ground-based stations are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method for transmitting wireless data between an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a customer premise equipment (CPE) station includes transmitting a first wireless data between a first antenna array and a first CPE station and transmitting a second wireless data between a second antenna array and a second CPE station. The first and second antenna arrays can include one or more individual antennas of the UAV.
