  • Patent number: 11956650
    Abstract: A device may receive network data from base stations associated with a network and may aggregate the network data to generate aggregated network data. The device may remove data that satisfies a threshold from the aggregated network data to generate a reduced set of the aggregated network data. The device may divide the reduced set of the aggregated network data into groups of network factors associated with determining network parameters for the base stations. The device may apply weights to the network factors in the groups of network factors to generate groups of weighted network factors and may generate baselines for the network parameters based on the groups of weighted network factors. The device may compare the network data and the baselines to identify one or more anomalies in the network parameters and may perform one or more actions based on the one or more anomalies.

  • Patent number: 11877335
    Abstract: In a dual network link scenario, a wireless network may provide a user equipment (UE) with a measurement configuration indicating multiple inter-frequency measurement objects during an off duration of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle configured on a first network link. The UE may assign the inter-frequency measurement objects to a second network link if the second network link has an always-on configuration. Alternatively, if the second network link has a DRX configuration, the UE may perform some inter-frequency measurement activities on the first network link and assign some inter-frequency measurement objects to unoccupied gap occasions in the off duration for the DRX cycle configured on the second network link. In this way, the UE may save power by spending more time in a low power state, and mobility performance for the UE may be improved by increasing the efficiency and reliability of inter-frequency measurement activities.
