  • Patent number: 11490348
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a self-calibrating and self-adjusting network are disclosed. A method is disclosed, comprising: receiving mobile device measurement reports from a mobile device at a gateway situated between a radio access network (RAN) and a core network via a base station in the RAN; determining a location of the mobile device at a measurement time of the mobile device measurement reports; associating the location with the mobile device measurement reports into a measurement record; storing a plurality of measurement records obtained over a time period and over multiple mobile devices; and providing query access to the plurality of measurement records by retrieving results corresponding to a plurality of search parameters transmitted to the gateway.

  • Patent number: 11160034
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a self-calibrating and self-adjusting network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: obtaining a signal strength parameter for a mobile device at a base station; obtaining a position of the mobile device at the base station; and associating the position and the signal strength parameter in a database. The method may further comprise one or more of: adjusting transmission power for the mobile device at the base station based on the associated position and signal strength parameter; computing the position of the mobile device at the base station; calculating an average of the signal strength parameter over a time window, and storing the average associated with the position. The signal strength parameter may include at least one of a block error rate (BLER) and a radio signal strength indicator (RSSI), and the position may be a global positioning system (GPS) position.

  • Patent number: 9935364
    Abstract: Amount for a plurality of radio antennas is disclosed. Specifically, a plurality of stacked radio antenna mounting assemblies is provided, each further comprising a top mounting plate, a mounting pole affixed to a bottom face of the top mounting plate, and a bottom mounting plate affixed at a top face to the mounting pole, and rotatably affixed to a top mounting plate of an adjoining mounting assembly. Each radio antenna mounting assembly is thereby configured to be independently rotatable in azimuth with respect to an adjoining mounting assembly. A radio-transparent radome is also provided with a height greater than a combined height of each of the plurality of radio antenna mounting points configured to slide over the plurality of radio antenna mounting assemblies to cover each of the radio antenna mounting assemblies.
