  • Patent number: 11445516
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may partition a coverage area associated with a network to form one or more geographic sectors, and may determine a pathloss value for each frequency band of multiple frequency bands and a spatial distribution between cells, within the geographic sector, for each frequency band. The device may determine a degree of contiguous coverage for each frequency band within the geographic sector based on the pathloss value and the spatial distribution between cells for that frequency band, and may determine, based on the degree of contiguous coverage for each frequency band, a specific frequency band, of the multiple frequency bands, to be used as a primary carrier for carrier aggregation in the geographic sector. The device may output information that identifies a carrier aggregation profile that indicates the specific frequency band to be used as the primary carrier for carrier aggregation in the geographic sector.

  • Patent number: 11246137
    Abstract: A device may determine a coverage area associated with a base station. The device may determine a handover weight associated with one or more user equipments (UEs) connected to the base station in the coverage area, wherein the handover weight indicates a degree of mobility of the one or more UEs. The device may identify a geographic region associated with the coverage area and may determine information concerning the geographic region that includes information concerning one or more roads in the geographic region. The device may determine a mobility rating associated with the coverage area based on the handover weight or the information concerning the geographic region. The device may select a beam management profile based on the mobility rating and may send the beam management profile to a different device to allow the different device to control the base station according to the beam management profile.

  • Publication number: 20210258990
    Abstract: A middle-tier self-organizing network (mSON) may obtain configuration parameters concerning a cluster, one or more operating profiles, and one or more usage schedules respectively associated with the one or more operating profiles, from a centralized self-organizing network (cSON). The mSON may identify a distributed self-organizing network (dSON) of one or more dSONs associated with the cluster and may select, based on identifying the dSON, an operating profile, of the one or more operating profiles, and a respective usage schedule of the one or more usage schedules. The mSON may generate, based on the configuration parameters, monitoring information, and may send the operating profile, the usage schedule, and the monitoring information to the dSON.
