  • Patent number: 12133154
    Abstract: A communication system includes a central cloud server that decreases a gain of a currently active path, which corresponds to a primary communication path between a radio access network (RAN) node and one or more user equipment (UEs) via a first set of edge devices, until the currently active path becomes dormant. A gain of a dormant path, corresponding to a secondary communication path is increased until the dormant path becomes a new active path. Further, at least one edge device of the second set of edge devices is caused to transmit one or more beams of radio frequency (RF) signals in one or more specific directions towards one or more new neighboring nodes to establish the secondary communication path that is used as a backup communication path between the RAN node and the one or more UEs via a second set of edge devices different from the first set of edge devices.
