Publication number: 20230254103Abstract: A probe device and method for measuring TDD interference from neighboring networks in an Enterprise Network (EN). The probe device is situated on a campus of an EN in a position for measuring TDD interference between a neighboring wireless network. The probe device measures TDD interference data and provides it to an Enterprise Network and Orchestrator, which determines the TDD configuration used by neighboring networks, and can take action to mitigate or resolve interference effects from neighboring networks. The probe UE has a TDD measurement unit that may include an SIB Measurement unit for receiving broadcast SIBs signals from neighboring networks, a UL SINR Measurement Unit, a DL SINR Measurement Unit, and a UL RSSI Measurement Unit. The probe device may be positioned in a fixed location in an Enterprise Network campus, and connected to an external power supply.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Srinivasan Balasubramanian, Sushanth Chandappa Kulal

Publication number: 20230071539Abstract: A method and apparatus for allocating radio resources in a RAN deployment in an Enterprise Network. Radio resource parameter allocation decisions for all the Base Stations and Access Points (BS/APs) in the deployment are made responsive to network graphs formed using predicted path loss. In one embodiment the predicted path loss values are simulated for a particular enterprise network deployment, network graphs are formed using the path loss values, and radio resources parameters are allocated responsive to the network graphs. Advantageously, the network graphs provide the network with the ability to quickly and efficiently allocate radio resources, which can be automated. In the initial installation, this reduces cost and time. During operation, quick and efficient resource re-allocation provides quick adaptation to resource changes, an advantage that is useful particularly in the context of a CBRS system in which previously-available channels can be terminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Mark Jan Dijkstra, Mehmet Yavuz, Sushanth Chandappa Kulal, Sourav Bandyopadhyay, Vinay Anneboina, Aparna Jaiswal, Shashank Misra

Patent number: 9826527Abstract: This application pertains to systems, apparatus and methods for decreasing interference in wireless networks caused by User Equipments (UEs) entering compressed mode. Under certain generally accepted communication protocols, a UE can transmit at a higher power relative to normal transmissions when it enters compressed mode. These high power transmissions can cause interference both for UEs within the same cell (e.g., small cells or macrocells) as well as for UEs in neighboring cells. This interference can be minimized by using the presently disclosed systems, apparatus and methods to schedule time slots for UEs to go into compressed mode such that the distance in time between any two UEs going into compressed mode across one or more neighboring cells is maximized. By spreading out the interference effect of UEs going into compressed mode over time, overall interference in the wireless network can be decreased.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Sushanth Chandappa Kulal

Patent number: 9756654Abstract: Embodiments include starting a first timer if a queue state associated with a user equipment (UE) is estimated to equal zero bytes of data and if a last buffer status report received from the UE indicated the queue state to be greater than zero bytes of data, sending a control message granting uplink resources to the UE if the first timer expires, and determining the queue state associated with the UE based, at least in part, on a response to the control message. In specific embodiments the first timer expires if neither a scheduling request nor a buffer status report is received during a first timer interval after the first timer is started. Further embodiments include stopping the first timer if a scheduling request or a buffer status report is received before the first timer expires.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2015Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Vikram Chandrasekhar, Kedar D. Shirali, Ritesh K. Madan, Qing Zhao, Sushanth Chandappa Kulal

Patent number: 9474053Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a method of resource allocation. The method includes assigning resources intended for a control channel of a mobile network to multiple resource groups. At least one resource group may include multiple resources, where the resources have at least an associated periodicity and an associated delay tolerance. The assignment may be based on the delay tolerances of the resources. The method further includes determining a composite delay tolerance of the resource groups based on the corresponding delay tolerances of the resources in the resource group. The method further includes reserving resources associated with the control channel for the resource groups based on the composite delay tolerance of the resource groups. The method further includes establishing the control channel with a user equipment (UE), where the control channel is established using the reserved resources.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Sushanth Chandappa Kulal, Shashank Misra

Patent number: 9344929Abstract: An example method for facilitating automatic neighbor relation in a wireless telecommunication network environment is provided and includes initiating a fake handover with a target Evolved Node B (eNB) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless network environment over an S1 interface with a mobility management entity (MME), receiving a handover command message from the MME including neighbor cell information associated with the target eNB, canceling the fake handover, and updating a neighbor relations table (NRT) with the neighbor cell information. In various embodiments, the neighbor cell information includes information associated with the target eNB not communicated over an X2 interface, such as system control information communicated in a broadcast control channel. The method may further include receiving a measurement report from a user equipment with information of neighboring cells and initiating the fake handover if any neighboring cell included in the measurement report is missing from the NRT.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Madhur Raj Nagesh Shetigar, Shashank Misra, Sushanth Chandappa Kulal
