Patent number: 11533084Abstract: Automatic adjustment of the transmission power, of 5G and 6G wireless messages, is necessary for efficient energy utilization and minimizing background generation, especially in high-density communication environments. However, the power level needed for adequate reception is a complex compromise among competing factors related to network performance, message features, and constantly changing noise/interference backgrounds. Disclosed are artificial intelligence systems and methods configured to determine an appropriate power level for communications. The AI model is trained to account for a wide range of conditions in real-time. For field use, an algorithm derived from the AI model, may be simplified and reduced in size to be appropriate for mobile user devices. The base station may prepare a map of signal attenuation factors, noting especially the “dead zones” of poor reception, and increase the transmission power whenever a mobile user device enters such a location. Many other aspects are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2022Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: ULTRALOGIC 6G, LLCInventors: David E. Newman, R. Kemp Massengill
