  • Publication number: 20250086335
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and utilizing digital twins for three-dimensional building visualization and simulations. A method includes parsing tabular data associated with a building. Units represented in the tabular data may be assigned unit class data structures, where each unit class data structure stores data for its respective assigned unit. Data for each unit identified via the parsing may be stored in the respective unit class data structure for that unit. A digital twin is linked to the tabular data with respect to the unit class data structures. Building data for the building is analyzed to identify polylines in the building. Each polyline is extruded to create a 3D model of each unit. In the 3D model, each unit is converted into a mesh. A digital twin of the building is created and linked to at least a portion of the tabular data.

  • Patent number: 12009896
    Abstract: Techniques for optimizing connection stability via communications with base stations in wireless communication networks. A current actual signal-to-distortion measurement value is determined for signals received by a device from a base station in a wireless communication network. A target base station configuration is determined based on the actual signal-to-distortion measurement value and known relationships between signal-to-distortion measurements and reliability metrics corresponding to different base station configurations. Deceptive signal quality transmissions are sent to the base station until the base station selects the target base station configuration. The deceptive signal quality transmissions may include deceptive signal-to-distortion measurements or deceptive binary values indicating poor signal quality.

  • Publication number: 20230370998
    Abstract: Systems and methods for building digital twins and navigating using digital twins. Reference signal and identifier data sent via antennas is obtained. Timing advance parameters for signals sent to the antennas are received. One or more machine learning models are applied to the reference signal data and timing advance parameters. Each machine learning model is trained to output antenna positions, antenna configurations, or both, and may be trained using training antenna configurations in the form of reference models representing different potential antenna configurations. Based on the outputs of the machine learning models, potential interference for devices occupying various locations within the network are determined. Navigation decisions, gaps in network coverage, or both, are determined based on the potential interference. As a result, interference by one or more devices moving within the network is reduced, thereby improving signal quality.

  • Publication number: 20230239783
    Abstract: A system and method for improving connection reliability while navigating in cellular networks. Historical received by vehicles navigating within a cellular network are analyzed in order to create a signal propagation model. The cellular network is distributed across a geographic area including multiple cells, where each cell is a subdivision of the geographic area. The historical signals are received from transceivers deployed the cellular network. Based on the signal propagation model and an expected navigation path of the vehicle, a subset of transceivers within the cellular network is determined. The subset of transceivers is used for making selections about which transceivers the vehicle should communicate with, for example by transmitting the subset of transceivers to a system responsible for selecting which transceiver communicates with a given vehicle such that the system selects which transceiver to use from among the subset of transceivers.
