Emerging technology snapshot : beyond line-of-sight communications and applications.: D69-69/2023E-PDF

"Modern wireless communications systems normally require a transmitter and receiver to be within ‘line-of-sight’ of each other. For example, smartphones switch between base stations to stay connected and enable voice and data transmission while on the move. Beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) refers to technologies or systems that extend the range of wireless communications systems beyond this limit. Applications include BLOS control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), radars able to see targets over-the-horizon and ad-hoc communications networks used for natural disaster relief"--page [1].
