  • Patent number: 11843955
    Abstract: Mobile communications base stations, such as 5G wireless communications base stations operating at millimeter wave (mmW) frequencies, may have limited spatial coverage due to issues such as limited line of sight or attenuation from foliage or structures. Line of sight and attenuation can be modeled to recommend placement of repeaters for expanded spatial coverage. The repeaters can include open-air repeaters and window repeaters.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 12, 2023
    Assignee: Pivotal Commware, Inc.

  • Patent number: 11233668
    Abstract: A meeting insight computing system includes a meeting evaluation machine configured to collect quality parameters from meeting quality monitoring devices. The quality parameters each quantify meeting conditions during one or more previously-elapsed meetings and are usable to determine an overall quality score for each of the one or more previously-elapsed meetings. A graphical scheduling interface is configured to facilitate scheduling of an upcoming meeting at a designated meeting time, in a meeting location, and with one or more meeting participants. An insight generation machine is configured to report a meeting insight via the graphical scheduling interface. The meeting insight is based on the meeting time, the meeting location, the one or more meeting participants, and the quality parameters, and includes a recommendation to change one or more of the meeting time, meeting location, and meeting participants to improve a quality score of the upcoming meeting.
