Abstract: A method of controlling assignment and management of identities in ambient electromagnetic power harvesting (AEPH) chips. The method comprises allocating a plurality of unique AEPH identities by an AEPH management application executing on a computer system, receiving a plurality of requests by the AEPH management application to update a state associated in a blockchain with the unique AEPH identity identified in each request; determining by the AEPH management application that the blockchain is to be terminated; adding by the AEPH management application a terminal block to the blockchain; receiving a request by the AEPH management application to update a state associated with a unique AEPH identity in the blockchain; and sending a request rejection by the AEPH management application to the affiliated device that sent the request to update the state associated with the unique AEPH identity in the blockchain after the terminal block was added to the blockchain.

Abstract: A system for controlling assignment and management of identities in ambient electromagnetic power harvesting (AEPH) chips. The system comprises a processor; a non-transitory memory; and an application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the processor, allocates a plurality of unique AEPH identities, wherein each unique identity comprises an identity of a product item and an instance identity; stores the plurality of unique AEPH identities in a first immutable record in a datastore, wherein the unique AEPH identities are associated with an initial state; provides the plurality of unique AEPH identities to an original equipment manufacturer of AEPH chips; provides an application programming interface (API); authorizes a request to update a state associated with a first unique AEPH identity in the datastore; and adds a second immutable record to the database that associates the first unique AEPH identity with an updated state of the first unique AEPH identity.

Abstract: A wireless communication system beamforms an uplink from an airborne transceiver to a terrestrial transceiver. The airborne transceiver comprises antennas that have an antenna type an aperture beamwidth. The airborne transceiver transfers a transceiver ID to the terrestrial transceiver. The terrestrial transceiver initiates aerial uplink beamforming for the antenna type and the aperture beamwidth based on the airborne transceiver ID. The terrestrial transceiver determines uplink beamforming metrics and altitude for the airborne transmitter. The terrestrial transceiver generates an uplink beamforming instruction and an uplink power instruction for the antenna type and the aperture beamwidth of the airborne transceiver based on the uplink beamforming metrics and altitude. The terrestrial transceiver transfers the uplink beamforming instruction and the uplink power instruction to the airborne transceiver. The airborne transceiver beamforms, amplifies, and transmits an uplink wireless signal to the terrestrial transceiver per the uplink beamforming instruction and the uplink power instruction.

Abstract: A terrestrial transceiver beamforms an uplink signal from an airborne transceiver. In the terrestrial transceiver, a radio wireles sly receives an airborne transceiver Identifier (ID) and reference signals from the airborne transceiver. A Baseband Unit (BBU) determines a beamforming instruction based on the airborne transceiver ID and the reference signals. The radio wireles sly transfers the beamforming instruction to the airborne transceiver. The airborne transceiver beamforms the uplink signal based on the beamforming instruction. The radio wirelessly receives the beamformed uplink signal from the airborne transceiver. The BBU receives the beamformed uplink signal from the radio.
