  • Patent number: 10382077
    Abstract: A system for selecting a number of transmitting ports in an antenna at an access node includes an access node configured to deploy a first radio air interface to provide wireless services to wireless devices. The access node includes an antenna having ports and configured to communicate data with wireless devices through the ports and the first radio air interface. The access node also includes a processor configured to determine a trigger for dynamically selecting a number of transmitting ports in the antenna based on data received from the wireless devices relating to changes in levels of signals received at the wireless devices. The processor is also configured to estimate an amount of change based on the data relating to the changes. The processor is further configured to select a number of transmitting ports in the antenna based on the estimated amount of change.

  • Publication number: 20190199005
    Abstract: A battery-powered wireless communication device has internal antennas. In the wireless communication device, transceiver circuitry wirelessly receives external antenna data that indicates on/off status, reserve battery power, and geometric earth-orientation for the individual antennas in a different wireless communication device. Baseband circuitry determines internal antenna data that indicates the on/off status, reserve battery power, and geometric earth-orientation for the internal antennas. The baseband circuitry executes a user application that generates and consumes user data. The baseband circuitry selects a set of the internal antennas to serve the user application based on the internal antenna data and the external antenna data. The transceiver circuitry wirelessly exchanges the user data over the selected set of the internal antennas.

  • Patent number: 10091701
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes a plurality of Content Aware Routers (CARs) to facilitate a User Equipment (UE) handover. A source CAR exchanges communication data with a UE over a source wireless access point using Information Centric Network (ICN) routing. A target CAR receives a notification of the UE handover, requests the communication data for the UE, and receives subsequent data communication for the UE. The target CAR exchanges communication data with the UE over a target wireless access point using ICN routing.
