MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641001385 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 6, for 'system and method for deploying an aerial communication network.'

Inventor(s) include Saurav Gupta; Sumathi S; Harsh Yadav; Avishkar Jaiswal; Reeshav Raj; and Ramanuj Agarwal.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system (100) and a method (800) of deploying an aerial communication network. The system (100) distributes operational tasks to a plurality of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle UAV nodes (104) which maintains accurate positional awareness and steady flight orientation. Communication among the plurality of UAV nodes (104) occurs through a Radio Frequency (RF) communication transceiver (110), enabling decentralized mesh networking and continuous data exchange. The system (100) directs each node's movement toward assigned waypoints and maintains formation stability during mission execution. One or more environmental sensors (116) of the system (100) capture ambient data, including wind, temperature, or pressure variations, and forward these readings to a processor (102-2) for adaptive decision-making. Through coordinated interactions among these components, the system (100) delivers autonomous, self-adjusting aerial operations across diverse mission environments."
