Abstract
A computing apparatus configured to communicate with nodes of a wireless communication system. The computing apparatus includes a processor configured to receive a radio link measurement corresponding to a user node. The processor determines a physical disturbance based on the radio link measurement and determines an at risk user node and a time at which the at risk user node is likely to experience a radio link disturbance, based on the physical disturbance. The processor then determines a connectivity adjustment for the at risk user node, and sends the determined connectivity adjustment to the wireless communication system.
Claims20
A computing apparatus, wherein the computing apparatus is a node in a wireless communication system, the computing apparatus comprising a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive at least one radio link measurement, each of the at least one radio link measurement including a value indicative of a quality of a radio link between an access node of the wireless communication system and a user node;
- determine a presence of a physical disturbance between the access node and the user node based on the at least one radio link measurement;
- determine an at risk user node and a time at which the at risk user node is expected to experience a radio link disturbance due to the physical disturbance;
- determine a connectivity adjustment for adjusting a connectivity of the at risk user node with the wireless communication system;
- and
- send a message including the determined connectivity adjustment to the wireless communication system.
A method for use in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one radio link measurement, each of the at least one radio link measurement including a value indicative of a quality of a radio link between an access node of the wireless communication network and a user node;
- determining a presence of a physical disturbance between the user node and the access node based on the at least one radio link measurement;
- determining, based on the physical disturbance, an at risk user node and a time at which the at risk user node is expected to experience a radio link disturbance due to the physical disturbance;
- determining a connectivity adjustment for adjusting a connectivity of the at risk user node with the wireless communication network;
- and
- sending a message including the determined connectivity adjustment to the wireless communication network.
