Publication number: 20230379225Abstract: A method and apparatus extend existing cell parameter optimization techniques so that they can be used in cases where different cells are controlled by the same control element. Particularly, a coordination agent (46) receives an intermediate control decision for controlling a control element (48) shared by the plurality of cells (14). The coordination agent consolidates each of the received intermediate decisions into a single consolidated control decision, and sends the consolidated control decision to the shared control element. The control element then controls a network element (26) in each of the cells using the same consolidated control decision.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2021Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Adriano Mendo Mateo, Jose Outes Carnero, Juan Ramiro Moreno, Yak Ng Molina, Paulo Antonio Moreira Mijares, José María Ruiz Avilés

Patent number: 9179386Abstract: Technologies are described herein for parameter optimization of at least one interlayer handover in a multilayer wireless cellular communication network. Performance information for the communication network is retrieved. The retrieved performance information for the communication network is then averaged over a predetermined period of time. A determination is made based on the performance information as to whether optimization of the communication network is required. If so, the interlayer handover is optimized by capturing a current set of configuration parameters for the interlayer handover, generating a new set of configuration parameters for the interlayer handover based on the retrieved performance information and the current set of configuration parameters, and applying the new set of configuration parameters to the communication network.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: Ericsson Inc.Inventors: Salvador Pedraza Moreno, Juan Ramiro Moreno, Angel Luis Rivada Antich

Patent number: 9066294Abstract: Technologies are described herein for real time event-driven automation of energy management features within a wireless communications network. Resources within a wireless communications network, such as entire base stations or equipment within a base station supporting specific cells, sectors, frequency bands, or services, may be switched on or off in response to events occurring within the communications network. A central controller receives a network interface message corresponding to an event occurring within the communications network. The central controller analyzes the network interface message and, based upon the analysis of the network interface message, generates an action message that includes instructions to take an action on an affected network resource within the communications network. The action message is then transmitted to the appropriate network resource.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2011Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Salvador Pedraza Moreno, Juan Ramiro Moreno

Patent number: 8301149Abstract: Technologies are described herein for improving call quality and coverage of cells within a mobile wireless communication network. Such improvements can be accomplished by adjusting various radio access network parameters. The adjustments may be made at the cell level or at the neighbor level. An iterative process can periodically collect key performance indicator (KPI) statistics from the mobile wireless network. System improvements may derive from one or more rules applied in parallel. Each rule can have a unique combination of minimum or maximum KPI thresholds. System issues may be identified when a cell correlates with one or more of the rules which may then suggest one or more parameter changes to reduce the identified system issue. System capacity policies may be provided as limits to the coverage and call quality triggers.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2009Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Optimi CorporationInventors: Juan Carlos del Rio Romero, Juan Jose Guerrero Garcia, Juan Ramiro Moreno

Patent number: 8301156Abstract: Technologies for load balancing among neighboring cells of a mobile wireless communication network can reduce traffic congestion and improve network system capacity. Load balancing can be accomplished by adjusting various radio access network parameters. Such adjustments may be made at the cell level or at the neighboring cell level. The adjustments can be applied iteratively in response to various collected operational statistics. The adjustments can adapt cell size and cell shape as well as adapt handover to maximize system resource and hardware utilization. An iterative process of optimization can periodically collect performance statistics and network configuration from a mobile wireless network. The collected information can be periodically analyzed to determine parameter adjustments. Configuring additional capacity from the communication network can prevent or substantially delay the acquisition of additional hardware resources to mitigate system capacity issues.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2008Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Optimi CorporationInventors: Juan Carlos del Rio-Romero, Juan Jose Guerrero-Garcia, Salvador Pedraza-Moreno, Juan Ramiro-Moreno, Angel Luis Rivada-Antich
