GENERATING A PROPAGATION MODEL BASED ON SAMPLING BY USER EQUIPMENT IN IDLE MODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17829064 titled 'GENERATING A PROPAGATION MODEL BASED ON SAMPLING BY USER EQUIPMENT IN IDLE MODE
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application is about generating a propagation model for a carrier signal source in a 5G or next-generation network. - The method involves estimating the path loss value based on signal measurements taken by user equipment in idle mode and the transmission location of the signal. - The antenna pattern of the carrier signal source is determined based on the estimated path loss value and the path loss value of a second carrier signal. - Using the antenna pattern, a propagation model for the carrier signal source is generated. - The technology aims to improve the understanding of signal propagation in order to optimize network performance and coverage.
Original Abstract Submitted
The technologies described herein are generally directed to generating a propagation model based on sampling by user equipment in idle mode in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. An example method can include, based on a first location in a geographic area of a signal measurement measured by a user equipment in an idle mode, and a transmission location of the signal, estimating an estimated first path loss value. The method can further include, based on the estimated first path loss value and a second path loss value of a second carrier signal received from the carrier signal source, determining an antenna pattern of the carrier signal source. Further, the method can include based on the antenna pattern, generating a propagation model for the carrier signal source.
