Boeing had one patent in mobile during Q1 2024. The patent filed by The Boeing Co in Q1 2024 describes a communication system and method involving multiple communication devices with isotropic antenna elements. One device acts as the master, determining the locations of follower devices and assigning phase delay values based on these locations. The master device then communicates message information to the follower devices, allowing them to collectively form an antenna array that transmits a message payload towards a target with a defined phase taper.

Application: System and method for coordinated beamforming among discrete communication devices (Patent ID: US20240056769A1)
The patent filed by The Boeing Co. describes a communication system and method that involve multiple communication devices with isotropic antenna elements forming an antenna array to transmit messages towards a target. The system includes a master device and follower devices, where the master device determines relative locations of the followers, assigns phase delay values based on these locations, and communicates message information to the followers for coordinated transmission. The system allows for the formation of a beam with a phase taper towards a target, enabling long-distance communication and scanning of target areas.
The communication system and method outlined in the patent involve portable communication devices, such as cellular phones or aerial vehicles, with 5G network capability. The master device assigns phase delay values to followers, allowing for the transmission of message payloads with specific phase tapers to form beams towards targets. The system includes a mechanism for reassigning the master device role if followers fail to receive updates, ensuring continuous operation. Additionally, the method involves determining relative locations of devices through trilateration and communicating on specific frequency bands for coordination and transmission, highlighting the innovative approach to forming antenna arrays for effective communication over long distances.
