  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING AND ADJUSTING ANTENNA PAIRS IN A MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE-OUTPUT ("MIMO") SYSTEM USING IMAGE SCORING TECHNIQUES
    Publication number: 20210337401
    Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the analysis of antennas in a wireless network, and the ensuing detection of misaligned antennas. Images reflecting measures of interference associated with different antennas may be analyzed based on structural similarity index (“SSIM”) or other similarity analysis techniques, and antennas may be paired according to this analysis. The paired antennas may be compared to a known configuration. Mismatches may indicate misalignment or other malfunctions, based on which automated remedial measures (e.g., antenna realignment) may be performed.
    Type: Application
