Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for dynamically allocating SSB beams. It is determined that a relay device and a plurality of user devices are communicating with a cell site by way of a first beam. A quantity of user devices communicating by way of the first beam is then determined. It is determined that this quantity of user devices exceeds a predetermined threshold. A second beam is identified. At least a portion of the user devices is then dynamically reassigned to the second beam.
Claims20
A system for dynamically allocating synchronized signal block (SSB) beams, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- one or more computer storage hardware devices storing computer-usable instructions that, when used by the processor, cause the processor to:
- determine that a relay device and a plurality of user devices are communicating with a cell site by way of a first beam;
- determine that a quantity of user devices of the plurality of user devices exceeds a predetermined threshold;
- identify a second beam that is broadcast by the cell site;
- and
- dynamically reassign at least a portion of the plurality of user devices to the second beam.
A method for dynamically allocating synchronized signal block (SSB) beams, the method comprising:
- determining that a relay device and a plurality of user devices are communicating with a cell site by way of a first beam;
- determining that a quantity of user devices of the plurality of user devices exceeds a predetermined threshold;
- identifying a second beam that is broadcast by the cell site;
- dynamically reassigning at least a portion of the plurality of user devices to the second beam while maintaining communications with the relay device by way of the first beam.
A method for dynamically allocating synchronized signal block (SSB) beams, the method comprising:
- determining that a relay device and a plurality of user devices are attached to a first beam associated with a cell site;
- determining that a quantity of user devices of the plurality of user devices exceeds a predetermined threshold;
- identifying a second beam that is broadcast by the cell site;
- and
- dynamically reassigning at least a portion of the plurality of user devices to the second beam.
