Publication number: 20250294371Abstract: A method can include receiving atmospheric data comprising atmospheric parameters. A method can include receiving current cell site configuration data of one or more cell sites of a wireless telecommunications network. A method can include applying a machine learning model to the atmospheric data and the current cell site configuration data to predict a tropospheric ducting event, wherein the model is trained using supervised learning performed using historical atmospheric and cell site configuration data as inputs and historical tropospheric ducting events as outputs. A method can include determining a likelihood of a tropospheric ducting event affecting a cell site among the one or more cell sites in a geographic area. A method can include determining a mitigation action to perform at the cell site, wherein implementing the mitigation action at the cell site effectuates reduction in an impact of the predicted tropospheric ducting event at the cell site.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2024Publication date: September 18, 2025Inventors: Roopesh Kumar Polaganga, Robert Berrier, Baidar Yacoub Oweis, Maher Hasan, Justin Mueller, Kurt Landuyt, Gopal Sood, Muhammad Shakil, Moazzem Hossain

Patent number: 12177071Abstract: Techniques are described herein for providing hardware configuration updates relating to equipment nodes in a network using change messages. In embodiments, the techniques may comprise receiving a status update comprising status information for one or more equipment nodes, determining, based on the status information, one or more changes in status of the one or more equipment nodes since a prior status update, and generating a change message that includes the one or more changes. The techniques may further involve providing the change message to at least one second computing device, wherein the one or more changes is used to update aggregate data maintained by the second computing device.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2023Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Emile Minh Tran, Muhammad Shakil, Robert Berrier, Joshua Van de Walle, Benjamin Yuen, Danny Goswami, Murali Krishnan Govindan

Publication number: 20200336367Abstract: Processes and systems for automatically configuring small cells, microcells, picocells, and femtocells for deployment in a cellular network are described herein. The system uses an orchestrator in an Orchestration Platform to direct the generation of the configuration for network assets to be deployed. The Orchestration Platform interacts with components to generate the data and parameters necessary for the configuration. The Orchestration Platform directs system components to generate the configuration, validate the configuration, execute the configuration, and download the configuration. The processes and systems include a database to maintain the state of a system instance during the configuration process, allowing an orchestrator to start, suspend, abort, or restart its workflow process at any time without the loss of any work.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2019Publication date: October 22, 2020Inventors: Suchit Satpathy, Yun Lee, Florendo Atienza, Venu Mudunuri, Andrew Rogers, Senthil Ravindranath, Brian Barnhart, Jonathan Sarbillon Ramirez, Robert Berrier, Mohamed Youssef Mohamed Madian, Peter Bucko

Patent number: 10687230Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting cell site parameters are described. The systems and methods cause a map of a geographical area to be displayed, access known or stored location coordinates for antennas at a cell site that is located within the of the geographical area, and present display elements representing the antennas at first positions within the displayed map that correspond to the known location coordinates for the antennas at the cell site. In response to input received from a user, the systems and methods adjust the known location coordinates for the antennas at the cell sites to new location coordinates associated with second positions of the display elements within the displayed map. Further details are described herein.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2019Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Justin Mueller, Shilpa Bhanot, Robert Berrier

Patent number: 10499257Abstract: Traditional configuration of infrastructure equipment relates to the adjustment of horizontal tilt for antennas. Given the potential overlap of infrastructure equipment, varying tilt angles can result in either interference with nearby equipment (“over-tilt”) or reduced coverage areas within a specific infrastructure equipment (“under-tilt”). A tool for determining appropriate tilt angles for infrastructure antennas across a mobile network is provided. The tool automatically determines a range of tilt angles between a selected source antenna and adjacent antennas and optimizes based on a threshold intersecting point. Additionally, the tool can update calculated tilt angles based on network congestion information.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2018Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Nolan, Robert Berrier
