摘要：A cellular wireless in-flight entertainment (IFE) system is used in an aircraft fordelivering programming to passengers. A head end server provides data and

programming to cells. Each cell comprises a wireless access point/configurable antenna

to receive the data and the programming. The wireless access point/configurableantenna is disposed at an optimum location in a passenger cabin and operates with apredetermined frequency, radiation pattern, and polarization to provide the

programming at optimum coverage. Wireless seat displays receive the programmingfrom the wireless access point/configurable antenna and have a seat display antenna withselectable polarization. The cellular wireless IFE system provides for frequency reusewithin the cells, registration of passengers upon log in to identify placement of thewireless seat displays, load balancing to prevent exceeding a capacity of a wireless accesspoint/configurable antenna, and a scalable architecture where data and video each utilizea different band and wireless access point/configurable antenna.
