Simplified Explanation
Abstract
A communication network using a satellite-involved backhaul predicts the outage and restoration states of the backhaul based on satellite motion data. This information is used to schedule actions and make adjustments in the network, such as powering equipment up or down, notifying users of upcoming events, and adjusting sleep/wake schedules.
Patent/Innovation Explanation
- Communication network uses satellite-involved backhaul.
- Predicts backhaul outage and restoration states based on satellite motion data.
- Devices in the network schedule or take actions based on these predictions.
- Actions can include powering equipment up or down, notifying users, inhibiting actions before an outage, inhibiting new network attachments, adjusting sleep/wake schedules, and providing a local version of a core network.
Potential Applications
- Telecommunication networks using satellite backhaul.
- Internet of Things (IoT) networks relying on satellite connectivity.
- Remote areas or disaster-stricken regions where satellite communication is crucial.
- Mobile networks in areas with limited terrestrial infrastructure.
Problems Solved
- Efficiently managing communication networks with satellite backhaul.
- Minimizing disruptions and downtime caused by backhaul outages.
- Optimizing network performance and resource allocation.
- Enhancing user experience by providing advance notifications and adjusting network behavior accordingly.
Benefits
- Improved reliability and resilience of communication networks.
- Enhanced network management and resource utilization.
- Minimized downtime and disruptions for users.
- Increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness of satellite-based communication systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
For a communication network using a satellite-involved backhaul, the backhaul outage and restoration states are predicted based on satellite motion data. Based on such predictions, devices providing the radio access portion of the communication network, and devices using the communication network schedule or take actions. Actions can include but are not necessarily limited to: powering equipment up or down, notifying devices or users of upcoming outage or restoration events, inhibiting actions that cannot be completed before an outage, inhibiting new network attachments, adjusting sleep/wake schedules, and providing a local version of a core network or other network.
