Patent number: 12501368Abstract: An adaptive network operation (ANO) server configured to reduce unnecessary radio operation during lower and/or non-traffic times is described herein. The ANO server may receive raw data associated with one or more nodes within a telecommunications network. Responsive to receiving the raw data, the ANO server may determine, based at least in part on the raw data, a traffic level associated with the one or more nodes and/or a traffic capacity associated with the one or more nodes. The ANO server may determine one or more frequency bands and/or channels to activate and/or deactivate and may generate configuration settings to send to the one or more nodes.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2024Date of Patent: December 16, 2025Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Hongliang Zhang, Dennis Jarret Guill, Jr., Robert Frangooles

Publication number: 20240422592Abstract: Methods and systems for determining an outage of the wireless communication services in an area are discussed herein. The area may indicate a geographic area defined by at least one of a city boundary, a census tract, a county boundary, or a state boundary. A method includes monitoring signals from a plurality of nodes that provide services to an area; determining, based at least in part on the signals, that at least one of the plurality of nodes is out of service; determining, based at least in part on census data of the area, a coverage level of the area, the coverage level indicating the coverage of services provided by the plurality of nodes in service; determining that the coverage level is less than a coverage threshold; and transmitting an outage notification to an emergency service provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2024Publication date: December 19, 2024Inventors: Robert Frangooles, Christopher Chorney

Patent number: 11151590Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for a geographic boundary determination service. A geographic boundary may be associated with one of a plurality of geographic locations, and the area within the geographic boundary may be within a specified distance of the geographic location and closer to the geographic location than to any other geographic location in the plurality of geographic locations. The geographic boundary determination service may determine geographic boundaries for existing locations or may determine a set of locations whose geographic boundaries satisfy various criteria. The geographic boundary determination service may further display geographic maps that include the geographic boundaries, demographic indices and other demographic information relating to the geographic boundaries, network coverage information relating to the geographic boundaries, and a targeted geographic region or regions that the boundaries overlap.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Biju Thomas Zachariah, Dennis Jarret Guill, Jr., Robert Frangooles
