Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de communication permettant d'obtenir de manière stable un réseau tridimensionnel pour communication mobile de cinquième génération présentant un faible retard de propagation de communication sans fil. Une station relais sans fil est située au niveau de chaque corps flottant d'une pluralité de corps flottants commandés de manière autonome ou à partir d'une unité externe de façon à être positionnés dans un espace aérien flottant ne dépassant pas 100 km au-dessus de la surface du sol ou de la surface de la mer. La pluralité de corps flottants comprend : des corps flottants permettant de traiter des latitudes basses possédant des unités d'alimentation électrique permettant de fournir de l'énergie aux stations relais sans fil ; et des corps flottants permettant de traiter des latitudes hautes possédant des unités d'alimentation électrique permettant de fournir de l'énergie aux stations relais sans fil à une puissance fournie supérieure à celle des corps flottants permettant de traiter des latitudes basses. Lorsque les corps flottants sont positionnés dans l'espace aérien flottant, les stations relais sans fil forment des cellules tridimensionnelles dans des espaces aériens cibles formant des cellules prescrites par rapport à la surface du sol ou à la surface de la mer.
