Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system receives data regarding an operating environment of a user equipment device located in a cell of a cellular communication network. The method also includes analyzing the data to determine a power adjustment for a control signal transmitted to the UE device using a set of physical resource blocks (PRBs); allocating, in accordance with the analyzing, a subset of the PRBs for transmission of an adjusted control signal with an adjusted power greater than an initial default power; and transmitting the adjusted control signal to the UE device using the subset of the PRBs with the adjusted power. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a processing system including a processor of a network element of a communication network, a control signal to a user equipment (UE) device, the control signal transmitted using a set of physical resource blocks (PRBs) and with an initial default power;
- receiving, by the processing system, data regarding an operating environment of the UE device, the data including a received signal strength of the control signal at the UE device and location information regarding the UE device;
- analyzing, by the processing system, the data to determine a power adjustment for the control signal;
- allocating, by the processing system in accordance with the analyzing, a subset of the PRBs for transmission of an adjusted control signal with an adjusted power;
- transmitting, by the processing system, the adjusted control signal to the UE device using the subset of the PRBs with the adjusted power, the adjusted power greater than the initial default power;
- and
- receiving, by the processing system, updated data regarding the operating environment of the UE device.
A device comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- transmitting, by a network element of a communication network, a control signal to a user equipment (UE) device, the control signal transmitted using a set of physical resource blocks (PRBs) and with an initial default power, the communication network comprising a cellular network;
- receiving data regarding an operating environment of the UE device, the data including a received signal strength of the control signal at the UE device and location information regarding the UE device;
- analyzing the data to determine a power adjustment for the control signal;
- allocating, in accordance with the analyzing, a subset of the PRBs for transmission of an adjusted control signal with an adjusted power;
- transmitting the adjusted control signal to the UE device using the subset of the PRBs with the adjusted power, the adjusted power greater than the initial default power;
- and
- receiving updated data regarding the operating environment of the UE device.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- transmitting, by a network element of a communication network, a control signal to a user equipment (UE) device, the control signal transmitted using a set of physical resource blocks (PRBs) and with an initial default power;
- receiving data regarding an operating environment of the UE device, the data including a received signal strength of the control signal at the UE device and location information regarding the UE device;
- analyzing the data to determine a power adjustment for the control signal;
- allocating, in accordance with the analyzing, a subset of the PRBs for transmission of an adjusted control signal with an adjusted power, wherein the allocating is performed by an artificial intelligence (AI) agent executing on the processing system;
- transmitting the adjusted control signal to the UE device using the subset of the PRBs with the adjusted power, the adjusted power greater than the initial default power;
- and
- receiving updated data regarding the operating environment of the UE device.
