Abstract
Location-aware software defined antenna management is described herein. A method as described herein can include generating, by a system comprising a processor, positioning data associated with movement of a vehicle, associated with the system, through an environment; obtaining, by the system from network equipment of a communication network operating in the environment, network data associated with the communication network; and altering, by the system, a configuration of antennas, associated with the vehicle, from a first configuration to a second configuration, distinct from the first configuration, based on the positioning data and the network data.
Claims20
A vehicle communication system, comprising:
- antennas configured according to a first antenna configuration;
- a memory that stores executable components;
- and
- a processor that executes the executable components stored in the memory, wherein the executable components comprise:
- a position location component that generates positioning data corresponding to movement of a vehicle, associated with the vehicle communication system, through an environment;
- a network monitor component that obtains, from network equipment of a communication network operating in the environment, network data associated with the communication network;
- a machine learning component that selects a second antenna configuration, from a group of antenna configurations comprising the first antenna configuration and the second antenna configuration, by classifying the positioning data and the network data according to a model, wherein the model was trained with training data;
- and
- an antenna configuration component that causes the antennas to be configured according to the second antenna configuration, instead of the first antenna configuration, based on the positioning data and the network data and in response to the machine learning component selecting the second antenna configuration.
A method, comprising:
- generating, by a system comprising a processor, positioning data associated with movement of a vehicle, associated with the system, through an environment;
- obtaining, by the system from network equipment of a communication network operating in the environment, network data associated with the communication network;
- altering, by the system, a configuration of antennas, associated with the vehicle, from a first configuration to a second configuration, distinct from the first configuration, based on the positioning data and the network data;
- and
- selecting, by the system, the second configuration, from a group of configurations comprising the first configuration and the second configuration, by classifying the positioning data and the network data according to a machine learning model, wherein the altering comprises altering the configuration of the antennas in response to the selecting.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a vehicular communication system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- generating positioning data corresponding to movement of a vehicle, associated with the vehicular communication system, through an environment during a time interval;
- receiving, from equipment associated with a communication network operating in the environment, network data associated with the communication network;
- applying the positioning data and the network data to a machine learning model, resulting in model output;
- and
- facilitating reconfiguration of an antenna system, associated with the vehicle, from a first antenna configuration to a second antenna configuration, distinct from the first antenna configuration, based on the positioning data and the network data, the facilitating of the reconfiguration comprising selecting the second antenna configuration, from a group of antenna configurations comprising the first antenna configuration and the second antenna configuration, based on the model output and facilitating the reconfiguration of the antenna system in response to the selecting of the second antenna configuration.
