  • Patent number: 11678205
    Abstract: Optimal determination of wireless antenna configurations may be provided. A computing device may direct an antenna array of an Access Point (AP) to generate a wide beamwidth, to locate a cluster of two or more stations. Upon locating the cluster, the AP can narrow the beamwidth, and, with the narrower beamwidth, receive a key performance indicator (KPI) from at least one of the two or more stations in the cluster. The computing device may then generate a statistical model, based on the KPI and an antenna vector of the antenna array. Based on the statistical model, the computing device can determine a second antenna vector to optimize the KPI for one or more of the client stations. The computing device can then modify the antenna state of the AP to generate the determined antenna vector.

  • Patent number: 11671901
    Abstract: Some of the present implementations provide a method for assembling a target SIB for a target service. The method receives, from a first cell on a first frequency carrier, a plurality of SIB segments of the target SIB, each of the plurality of SIB segments associated with a corresponding value tag. The method stores a first SIB segment in the plurality of SIB segments in a memory of the UE. For each subsequent SIB segment in the plurality of SIB segments, the method determines whether a corresponding value tag of the subsequent SIB segment is the same as the corresponding value tag of the first SIB segment and if they are the same, stores the subsequent SIB segment in the memory of the UE. The method then assembles the target SIB using the stored plurality of SIB segments.
