Abstract
A system for providing temporary, transportable cellular communications networks is disclosed. The system includes at least one mobile base station and a control system. The mobile base station can include an aerial vehicular base station with a frame and propellers mounted on the frame that enable flight of the aerial vehicular base station while the control system is configured to control the flight path and functioning of the aerial vehicular base station. The aerial vehicular base station includes hardware and software components for providing cellular network coverage for short ranges. The control system determines the safe flight path for the aerial vehicular base station to reach a service location to provide cellular network coverage. The aerial vehicular base station identifies the closest base stations and available spectrum at the service location to provide communication services for the user equipment at the service location.
