Publication number: 20260292595Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards load balancing baseband units in a communications network. A baseband physical layer 1 unit’s functions are disaggregated into Layer 1 (L1) distributed units and radio units, instead of deploying full-fledged baseband units at a service’ provider’s service areas (cells). A load balancer scales up the number of active distributed units based on increased actual demand, and scales down the active distributed units based on decreased demand. The L1 distributed units and radio units can be software-defined network functions, and need not be collocated, whereby the distributed units can be in the cloud or hub remotely located relative to the radio units deployed at the service areas. Examples of load balancing can be load balancing of transmitted data per carrier, per subcarrier, per user equipment, per transmission time interval (TTI / slot), per bearer, or per channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2026Publication date: September 24, 2026Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Minsung Jang, Aleksandr Zelezniak, Kaustubh Joshi

Patent number: 12745159Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards disabling mobile device communications when such communications can possibly interfere with aircraft equipment. Examples include disabling the C-Band communications of devices when proximate an aircraft and/or airport. A signal beacon can be sent to devices, and as one example, devices capable of C-Band communications can be configured to automatically disable this frequency band. Devices that cannot react to this signal can disable frequency band(s)/switch to airplane mode in other ways, including based on received notifications, or based on sensed condition data. For example, motion detection, possibly combined with location data and/or elevation data, can determine whether a device is aboard an aircraft that is taxiing, preparing for takeoff, taking off, preparing for landing or landing. Elevation data can detect when a device is below some defined ceiling elevation, to take action with respect to disabling one or more predetermined frequency bands.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2022Date of Patent: September 22, 2026Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Yupeng Jia, Michael Prise

Publication number: 20260268226Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards data clustering for network traffic modeling. Cellular network measurement data from different geographic areas can be separated into clusters based on similarities in network performance indicators, cell traffic load data, their changing pattern over time, and/or other metrics. A machine learning model can then be assigned to each cluster, and the machine learning models can be trained to make network traffic control decisions under conditions exhibited in their respective clusters. If the error rate of the trained machine learning models is acceptable, then the machine learning models can be deployed for use at network equipment. If the overall error rate is not acceptable, then the cellular network measurement data can be re-separated into a larger number of clusters, and machine learning models can again be trained for each cluster.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2026Publication date: September 10, 2026Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: Gueyoung Jung

Patent number: 12732896Abstract: System information status is dynamically adjusted at a base station (e.g., a 5G gNB) from not broadcasting other system information block(s) to broadcasting, and vice versa, based on network condition data to improve network performance. When a sufficient number of user equipment devices are expected to transition from idle to connected mode, the base station broadcasts additional system information beyond minimum system information (e.g., SIB1) previously transmitted on-demand. A core network component can initiate the change, with the updated SIB1 data periodically broadcast to user equipment. A paging message is transmitted to instruct user equipment to process the updated SIB1 data. The system can revert to not broadcasting other system information when the network determines that broadcasting is unnecessary.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2022Date of Patent: September 8, 2026Assignee: AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc.Inventor: Daniel Vivanco
