Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2023011709A1] A technique of controlling a plurality of frequency bands of a multi-sector antenna system of a radio access network, RAN, is provided. The multi-sector antenna system is mounted on a first aerial vehicle (100) and comprises one antenna per sector. The first aerial vehicle (100) moves within a swarm of aerial vehicles (100). As to a method aspect, a trajectory (1402) of the first aerial vehicle (100) relative to other aerial vehicles (100) within the swarm is determined. An indication of the trajectory (1402) is transmitted to another aerial vehicle (100) within the swarm. An assignment of frequency bands to the antennas of the multi-sector antenna system mounted on the first aerial vehicle (100) is substituted depending on the trajectory (1402) while the first aerial vehicle (100) moves on the trajectory (1402). Each antenna of the multi-sector antenna system is assigned at least one frequency band.
