Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein modify the utilized communication protocol of one or more wireless base stations and/or UE devices based on signal quality information or data rate information associated with one or more UE devices. The signal quality information or data rate information of the UE devices can be analyzed by a base station and the base station can respond to changes in signal quality or data rate of the UE devices by modifying the configuration of one or more base stations and/or UE devices from a first communication protocol to a second communication protocol quality of transmissions between the UE devices and a base station.
Claims18
A method for dynamically assigning a wireless protocol to a device, the method comprising:
- receiving information associated with a device configured to operate using a first wireless protocol, the information comprising a data rate value and a signal quality value for the device;
- determining, based on the information associated with the device, that the data rate value exceeds a data rate threshold or that the signal quality value exceeds a signal quality threshold;
- based on determining that the data rate value exceeds a data rate threshold or that the signal quality value exceeds a signal quality threshold, instructing the device to perform a measurement report for a dual connectivity signal associated with a base station;
- and
- establishing a dual connectivity session with the device, wherein the dual connectivity session is established with the device based on determining that the measurement report for the dual connectivity signal associated with the base station exceeds a predetermined threshold.
One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for dynamically assigning a wireless protocol to a device, the method comprising:
- receiving information associated with a device configured to operate using a first wireless protocol, the information comprising a data rate value and a signal quality value for the device;
- determining, based on the information associated with the device, that the data rate value exceeds a data rate threshold or that the signal quality value exceeds a signal quality threshold;
- based on determining that the data rate value exceeds a data rate threshold or that the signal quality value exceeds a signal quality threshold, instructing the device to perform a measurement report for a dual connectivity signal associated with a base station;
- and
- establishing a dual connectivity session with the device, wherein the dual connectivity session is established with the device based on determining that the measurement report for the dual connectivity signal associated with the base station exceeds a predetermined threshold.
A system for dynamic assignment of a wireless protocol to a device, the system comprising:
- an antenna array comprising a plurality of antenna elements, wherein, at a first time, the plurality of antenna elements configured according to a first wireless protocol;
- and
- a processor configured to execute operations comprising:
- receiving information associated with a device configured to operate using a first wireless protocol, the information comprising a data rate value and a signal quality value for the device;
- determining, based on the information associated with the device, that the data rate value exceeds a data rate threshold or that the signal quality value exceeds a signal quality threshold;
- based on determining that the data rate value exceeds a data rate threshold or that the signal quality value exceeds a signal quality threshold, instructing the device to perform a measurement report for a dual connectivity signal associated with a base station;
- and
- establishing a dual connectivity session with the device, wherein the dual connectivity session is established with the device based on determining that the measurement report for the dual connectivity signal associated with the base station exceeds a predetermined threshold.
