Patents by Inventor Jay F. Dills

Jay F. Dills has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8583119
    Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate management of automatic neighbor relation functions in wireless networks. The system can include components and/or devices that ascertain whether or not to add or remove a neighbor relation based on information associated with an operations and management system, wherein the operations and management system dispatches add or remove requests to a base station that establishes, updates, and/or maintains a neighbor relations table and/or set of neighbor relations that includes neighbor relations between cells.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 12, 2013
    Assignee: QUALCOMM Incorporated
    Inventors: Amer Catovic, Christophe Chevallier, Francesco Pica, Jay F. Dills, Manish Tripathi, Mukesh K. Mittal, Mustafa Saglam, Sunil S. Patil
  • Patent number: 8098590
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating performance measurements for a wireless network is provided. The method may comprise: obtaining, at a base station, performance measurements and location data from a mobile device, storing, at the base station and based on the location data, at least a portion of the obtained measurements to at least one virtual geographic bin of a storage array, wherein each virtual geographic bin corresponds to a different geographic area within a cell serviced by the base station, aggregating, at the base station, at least a portion the measurements stored in each virtual geographic bin into one or more location-based performance measurements, and transmitting, from the base station, at least a portion of the location-based performance measurements to a network manager.

  • Patent number: 8045996
    Abstract: Techniques for using measurements made by UEs to improve network performance are described. In one aspect, RF parameters of cells may be determined by taking into account mobility of the UEs. Mobility information for the UEs may be determined based on measurement report messages (MRMs) sent by these UEs for handover. RF parameters such as antenna down-tilt, antenna orientation, antenna pattern, and/or pilot power of the cells may be determined based on the mobility information for the UEs. In another aspect, the RF parameters of cells may be dynamically adjusted based on loading conditions of cells. In yet another aspect, the location of a UE may be determined based on an MRM sent by the UE for handover. The MRM may include timing measurements for multiple cells. The location of the UE may be determined based on the timing measurements.
