  • Network connection outage prediction due to antenna failure using machine learning
    Patent number: 11455839
    Abstract: A system for predicting an outage for a commercial passenger vehicle is described. The system includes a storage configured to store flight information of the commercial passenger vehicle that includes an antenna configured to assist a network connectivity for devices in the commercial passenger vehicle to remote devices, the flight information including travel information of the commercial passenger vehicle and antenna-related information of the antenna; and a server configured to apply a machine learning algorithm that (1) processes the flight information and (2) generate an output indicative of a probability of an antenna-related outage of the network connectivity that is caused due to a failure of the antenna based on processed flight information.

  • Systems and methods for dimensioning a wireless communication system
    Patent number: 6801776
    Abstract: A method of dimensioning a wireless communication system configured to support a plurality of applications. The method includes, for each application, estimating a percentage of subscribers of the wireless communication system that will use the application. Then a subscriber profile is determined for the application based at least in part on the estimated percentage of subscribers that will use the application. Then a busy hour traffic per subscriber ratio is determined for the application based at least in part on the subscriber profile for the application.
