Mobile cellular networks
Multiple mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems can be networked together to form a network of MCN communication systems (NOM). Each MCN communication system within the NOM can operate as an independent cellular network to provide communications between user equipment within a covered area. The MCN can be managed by a network management control center (NMCC). The NMCC can be configured generate coverage maps of the NOM and NMC system coverage areas.

one or more processors configured to:
determine satisfaction of a threshold associated with a moveable network communication system, wherein the moveable network communication system generates a cellular network for a coverage area and independently provides communication links between one or more user equipment within the coverage area;
generate a coverage map corresponding to the coverage area;
update the coverage area based at least in part on a determination that data from the moveable network communication system satisfies the threshold;
