Problems solved by technology

However, reconfiguring the network based on current network traffic conditions is problematic because the current conditions do not necessarily represent the near, medium, or long-term traffic conditions of the network
Furthermore, existing systems do not take into account external conditions that may affect the network in the future

[0012] overview

[0013] As discussed above, existing cellular wireless networks are typically either statically configured or allow reconfiguration based on current network traffic conditions. A statically configured network typically does not respond to demand in a dynamic manner. Such an existing network is not reconfigurable based on the predicted future location of the user equipment, nor does it consider external conditions that may affect the network in the future.

[0014] The techniques described herein provide capabilities for reconfiguring a cellular wireless network based at least in part on one or more predicted future locations of a user equipment. The one or more predicted future locations for each user device may define one or more potential routes for the user device from the current location to the predicted future location over time. As will be described in more detail, utilizing the predicted future location of the user equipment allows improving the effi...

Abstract

The invention relates to reconfiguration wireless networks by predicting future user locations nad loads. The wireless networks may be dynamically reconfigured based at least in part on predicted future user device locations. The predicted future user device locations may be used to, for example, to offload user devices to small cells or WiFi networks. The predicted future user device locations may additionally or alternatively be used for targeting directional signals and / or for beam forming for multi-user multi-input / multi-output systems.

Description

Background technique [0001] Currently wireless cellular networks are usually statically configured. Cellular network operators perform measurements and use propagation models to decide where to place network base stations during the planning phase. The parameters of the base station are not very dynamic and are usually changed manually (if at all). A statically configured network cannot adapt to changes in load, interference, and other changing conditions. Recently, some wireless cellular networks have begun to enable reconfiguration based on current network traffic conditions. However, reconfiguring the network based on current network traffic conditions is problematic because the current conditions do not necessarily represent the near, medium or long term traffic conditions of the network. Furthermore, existing systems do not take into account external conditions that may affect the network in the future. Contents of the invention [0002] Techniques are described her...
