Publication number: 20200213900Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for identifying areas of maximum congestion so that small cells can be deployed at those specific sites to obviate network congestion problems. The systems and methods identify several input sources (e.g., call data records, passively collected data using Mobile app, etc.) that can be used to identify data congestion. The systems and methods divide a particular geographic area into smaller tiles of a certain shape (e.g., hexagon, square, etc.). For each of the geographic tiles, the systems and methods sort and group the input data samples based on their associated congestion discriminating characteristics (e.g., timestamps, type of input data, etc.). The systems and methods then compute a congestion index for each geographic tile area based on the grouped data samples. In this manner, the systems and methods identify geographic tile areas and time periods of high congestion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2020Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventor: Hongliang Zhang

Patent number: 10498377Abstract: A computing system may utilize interfering signals of two or more wireless devices for improving communications involving the two or more wireless devices. These techniques and architectures may allow for improved spectral efficiency that enables a relatively large number of wireless devices to communicate among one another via receivers that share overlapping or adjacent frequencies. Such utilization of interfering signals may help solve a general problem involving, for example, co-channel interference (CCI) arising from densely deployed relatively small wireless communication cells for increasing communication throughput.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2019Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Hongliang Zhang, Jeff Ahmet, Dinesh Arcot Kumar, Egil Gronstad, Brian Allan Olsen, Mark McDiarmid

Patent number: 10499263Abstract: A communication cell may receive a request to establish a communication session for delivery to a core network of carrier network, the request originating from a user device connected to the communication cell. A lookup table stored in the communication cell is populated with an association of a session identifier assigned to the communication session and a caller identifier of the user device. The request is placed into an uplink buffer portion of the communication cell that is set aside for the user device. The request is encoded into one or more physical resource blocks reserved for the communication cell by a macrocell, the physical resource blocks being a part of a wireless in-band backhaul between the communication cell and the macrocell. The one or more physical resource blocks that include the request from the communication cell are then transmitted to the macrocell for delivery to the core network.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Pablo Tapia, Brian Allan Olsen, Hongliang Zhang
