Dynamic QCI Prioritization for Wireless Interference Mitigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User equipment located outside the desired sector of a cell site experiences interference and noise due to high-powered Radio Frequency radiation, leading to a degradation in quality of service, which existing technologies fail to effectively mitigate by disabling lower priority Quality of Service class identifiers (QCIs).
Innovation Solution
A method and system that determine the location of user equipment outside the desired sector and dynamically disable lower priority QCIs, leaving only the highest priority QCI assigned to the user equipment, thereby improving the quality of service by reducing interference and noise.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If user equipment is located outside the desired sector of a cell site, then high-powered Radio Frequency radiation causes interference and noise, but disabling lower priority QCIs is insufficient to mitigate the degradation in quality of service
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts QCI configurations based on real-time location information. When user equipment is detected outside the desired sector, the system dynamically disables lower priority QCIs and enables only the highest priority QCI, creating a dynamic response to changing environmental conditions rather than a static configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operational parameters of QCIs based on location. By modifying which QCIs are enabled or disabled according to the user equipment's position relative to the desired sector, the system adapts the quality of service parameters to mitigate interference and noise in undesired locations
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple QCIs are assigned to user equipment, then service versatility is improved, but interference and noise in undesired locations degrade the quality of service
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different QCI configurations to different spatial locations. In desired sectors, multiple QCIs remain enabled for full service versatility, while in undesired locations outside the sector, only the highest priority QCI remains enabled, creating location-specific service quality that adapts to local interference conditions

AI summary
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein dynamically assign user devices to communicate to cell sites and antenna arrays using either a first wireless communication protocol or a second wireless communication protocol. User devices assigned to communicate with an antenna array are monitored to determine if they are located within a desired location of the sector. If the user device is located outside of the desired location, the number of quality of service class identifiers (QCI) is determined. If the number of QCIs exceeds one, the lower priority QCIs are disabled.
