Abstract

A cellular communications network (200, FIG. 2) includes one or more aircraft (210), which provide communication channels to cellular communications units, and also communicate with one or more base transceiver stations (206) and a control center (214). The control center receives (502, 602) telemetry and flight parameter information from the aircraft, and calculates (510, 606) network parameters based on the information. The control center transmits (512, 608) messages to the cellular network, including the aircraft, based on the calculated network parameters, and the aircraft and cellular network controls (612) its operations according to information within these messages.
