Abstract
A method of providing communication coverage includes collecting a location of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) while the UAV is in flight, determining a communication signal distribution in a proximity of the UAV, and determining one or more locations for arranging one or more relays based on the communication signal distribution to improve communication signal coverage along a flight path of the UAV.
