  • Patent number: 11336318
    Abstract: A transceiver device port configuration and monitoring system includes a networking device having a networking device wireless communication system, a port, and a wireless identification system associated with the port. A transceiver device is connected to the port and includes a wireless reader system that retrieves a port identifier for the port from the wireless identification system, and a transceiver device wireless communication system that the transceiver device uses to wirelessly advertise the connection of the transceiver device to the port. In response to receiving the wireless advertisement of the connection of the transceiver device to the port, the networking device uses the networking device wireless communication system to establish a wireless session with the transceiver device, retrieves configuration information from the transceiver device via the wireless session, uses the configuration information to configure the port for operation with the transceiver device, and monitors the port.

  • Patent number: 11329737
    Abstract: A system described herein may provide for the use of artificial intelligence/machine learning (“AI/ML”) techniques to generate models for various locations or regions (e.g., sectors) associated with one or more radio access networks (“RANs”) of a wireless network. The system may further use AI/ML techniques to generate interference models to reflect types and/or amounts of channel propagation metrics measured within the RAN. The system may further determine, based on attributes of a given sector, a sector model and/or a channel propagation model associated with the sector. Based on the sector model and/or the determined channel propagation model, one or more actions may be determined in order to enhance channel propagation metrics within the sector, such as at portions of the sector at which increased demand for wireless service is detected.

  • Patent number: 11323840
    Abstract: In some implementations, methods for selecting a set of beacons that are to be monitored by a mobile device may be employed. Specifically, an optimal set of beacons to monitor may be provided to a mobile device depending on particular groups of beacons that are in proximity to the mobile device, the distance from the mobile device to each of the particular groups of beacons, and the mobile device's position/movements as provided by a tracking service such as GPS. These techniques may ensure that the mobile device is not blind to the closest and/or most relevant beacons.

  • Patent number: 11290172
    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to an improved coordinated multipoint (CoMP) network operating in a millimeter wave frequency band in which user equipment (UEs) combine signals received across multiple spatial beams from multiple base stations. The improved CoMP network can achieve high throughput, low latency, and/or high reliability at millimeter wave frequencies while maintaining a reasonable network complexity (e.g., lower network overhead than CoMP networks implemented with coherent combining). For example, the improved CoMP network can include one or more base stations and one or more UEs. Multiple base stations can transmit the same data across multiple spatial beams to a UE at the same time. The base stations may use information provided by a UE to identify an active set of base stations and/or spatial beams to serve the UE.
