  • Patent number: 11523316
    Abstract: Distribution of traffic to cells in a communication network can be controlled. A distribution management component (DMC) can determine overall device traffic throughput for cells of a sector that satisfy a defined traffic throughput criterion relating to a harmonic mean of the device traffic throughput for the cells to desirably enhance or maximize the harmonic mean of the overall device traffic throughput. Based on the overall device traffic throughput for the cells, the DMC can determine whether to adjust a characteristic associated with a cell of the cells to facilitate adjusting distribution of device traffic among the cells of the sector to achieve desirable load balancing of traffic by the sector and in the network. Load balancing can be achieved by controlling respective parameters with regard to communication devices that are in idle mode or connected mode to facilitate directing communication devices and associated traffic to desired cells.

  • Publication number: 20220345940
    Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards load balancing in an adaptive and automated way for wireless mobility networks to improve the overall harmonic-average UE throughput within each controlled group of cells (e.g., different frequency carriers serving a sector of a base station). A load balancer (e.g., analytics component) obtains various device traffic data including throughput data for cells of a group. Pairs of cells in a group (sharing a site and face) can be selected based on satisfying various criteria, with estimated throughput gain achieved by changing the handoff rates between the cell pairs. The technology iteratively repeats the overall process, driving a system to an optimal equilibrium.

  • Patent number: 11064411
    Abstract: Distribution of traffic to cells in a communication network can be controlled. User equipment (UE) can perform measurements regarding signal quality with cells and communicate measurement information and a connection request to a source cell. The source cell can establish an initial connection with the UE. Meanwhile, the UE can perform additional measurements and communicate additional measurement information to the source cell. A distribution management component (DMC) can analyze the measurement information and cell-related information and determine whether to redirect the UE from the source cell to a target cell based on the analysis results. If the DMC determines that the UE is to be redirected to the target cell, the DMC can release the connection to the source cell and communicate a redirect message that includes target cell information to the UE, and the UE can send a connection request to the target cell.
