RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY AWARE CELLULAR NETWORK INTER-FREQUENCY COVERAGE ORCHESTRATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18158418 titled 'RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY AWARE CELLULAR NETWORK INTER-FREQUENCY COVERAGE ORCHESTRATOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for compensating for differences in signal coverage between multiple cells in a wireless communications network that operate at different frequencies. The method involves analyzing network data to determine the disparity in signal coverage and adjusting the coverage shape of one of the cells to reduce the disparity. This adjustment is done by tilting the signal coverage of the antenna at the transmission point.
- The method compensates for inter-frequency coverage disparity between cells in a wireless communications network.
- It analyzes network data to determine the disparity in signal coverage between cells operating at different frequencies.
- When the disparity meets a set criterion, the method adjusts the coverage shape of one of the cells to reduce the disparity.
- The adjustment is performed by tilting the signal coverage of the antenna at the transmission point.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various wireless communications networks, including cellular networks, to improve signal coverage and ensure a more uniform user experience.
Problems Solved
1. Inter-frequency coverage disparity: The method addresses the issue of uneven signal coverage between cells operating at different frequencies, which can lead to gaps or overlaps in coverage areas. 2. Inconsistent user experience: By reducing the disparity in signal coverage, the method helps to provide a more consistent and reliable user experience across the coverage area.
Benefits
1. Improved coverage: By adjusting the coverage shape of cells, the method ensures a more uniform and reliable signal coverage across the network. 2. Enhanced user experience: The technology helps to minimize gaps and overlaps in signal coverage, resulting in a more consistent user experience for wireless network users. 3. Efficient network management: By analyzing network data and automatically adjusting coverage, the method enables efficient management of inter-frequency coverage disparities without manual intervention.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method at a network node for compensating for inter-frequency coverage disparity between multiple cells operating across a coverage area of a wireless communications network. The method determines a disparity in signal coverage over the coverage area between a first cell and a second cell, wherein the first cell operates at a different frequency spectrum or frequency band from the second cell and wherein the network node determines the disparity in signal coverage by analyzing network data collected for the first and second cells. The method determines when the disparity in signal coverage meets a set criterion; and when the disparity in signal coverage meets the set criterion, adjusting coverage shape of one of the first cell and the second cell over the coverage area to reduce the disparity, wherein the adjusting of the coverage shape is performed by tilting signal coverage of the antenna at the transmission point.
