  • Patent number: 12250561
    Abstract: A spectrum refarm system facilitates visual refarming of spectrum blocks. The system retrieves data defining a set of telecommunications spectrum blocks that are licensed by a telecommunications network within a selected geographic region, where each spectrum block is allocated to one or more technologies to facilitate communications transmitted according to a protocol defined within each technology. The system generates an interactive diagram representing the set of telecommunications spectrum blocks and identifying a first technology deployed on each of the telecommunications spectrum blocks at a first time. In response to at least one user input directed to the interactive diagram, the system defines a second technology to be deployed on at least one of the telecommunications spectrum blocks during a second time. The system then causes the at least one telecommunications spectrum block to transition from the first technology to the second technology at a time corresponding to the second time.

  • Patent number: 12244497
    Abstract: A dynamic SRMS (DSRMS) in a MPLS network generates unique segment identifiers for nodes of the network lacking segment identifiers (SIDs). The DSRMS receives network information from other nodes of the network that may include, for example, Internal Gateway Protocol (IGP) routing information, advertised prefix values for the nodes, and label values used in MPLS routing. The DSRMS analyzes the information and identifies nodes of the network that are not associated with a SID. For each identified node, the DSRMS generates a unique SID and then announces the SID to other nodes within the network. Generating the unique SID may include executing a hashing function using the IP address of the identified node as an input.

  • Patent number: 12237874
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides example line order detection methods and multi-antenna network devices. One example method includes obtaining preset antenna numbers of a target antenna group. A first uplink received signal strength sequence of each antenna channel is determined based on a first uplink reference signal sequence from a terminal. After an antenna downtilt angle of the target antenna group is adjusted from a first downtilt angle to a second downtilt angle, a second uplink received signal strength sequence of each antenna channel is determined based on a second uplink reference signal sequence from the terminal. Actual antenna numbers of the target antenna group are determined based on the first uplink received signal strength sequence and the second uplink received signal strength sequence of each antenna channel. When the preset antenna numbers are different than the actual antenna numbers, a line order is determined to be incorrect.
