Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a system for improving the quality of wireless signals in areas with limited 5G coverage. The system includes a repeater device that can extend the range of transmitted wireless signals. The repeater device receives wireless signals from a base station and amplifies them, then re-broadcasts them towards a device in a fixed location. This helps to improve the signal quality and ensure that the device can connect to the network. The technical effect of this system is to improve the reliability and quality of wireless communication services in areas with limited 5G coverage.

Problems solved by technology

Managing all the various types of RF environments that may arise poses various challenges.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings identify the same or similar elements.

[0012]As communication networks and services increase in size, complexity, and number of users, management of the communication networks has become increasingly more complex. One way in which wireless access networks are continuing to become more complicated is by incorporating various aspects of next generation networks, such as fifth generation (5G) mobile networks, utilizing high frequency bands, and / or lower frequency bands such as Sub 6 Gigahertz (GHz), and a large number of antennas. 5G New Radio (NR) millimeter (mm) wave technology may provide significant improvements in bandwidth and / or latency over other wireless network technology. Furthermore, coverage and signal quality may be improved using multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) adaptive antenna arrays. Additionally, user equipment (UE) devices may also i...

Abstract

A computer device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to establish a communication channel with a fixed wireless access (FWA) user equipment (UE) device associated with a provider; scan for Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) antenna beams from a base station associated with the provider; and identify a plurality of 5G NR antenna beams. The processor may be further configured to rank the plurality of 5G NR antenna beams based on a key performance indicator (KPI); select a highest ranked antenna beam, from the plurality of 5G NR antenna beams, via which the FWA UE device is able to connect to the base station associated with the provider while satisfying a threshold requirement associated with the KPI; and use the selected antenna beam to exchange wireless signals between the base station and the FWA UE device.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This patent application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16 / 281,625, filed on Feb. 21, 2019, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND INFORMATION[0002]To satisfy the needs and demands of users of mobile communication devices, providers of wireless communication services continue to improve and expand available services as well as networks used to deliver such services. One aspect of such improvements includes the development of wireless access networks as well as options to utilize such wireless access networks. A wireless access network may manage a large number of devices using different types of services and experiencing various types of different conditions, such as different radio frequency (RF) environments. Managing all the various types of RF environments that may arise poses various challenges.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0003]FIG. 1 is a diagram illustratin...
