US 2026/0059425 A1 · ENHANCED RADIO WAVE COVERAGE USING REFLECTION OR REFRACTION OF THE RADIO WAVES WITHIN AN ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The technology disclosed herein relates to enhancing wireless coverage based on interactions between transmitted signals and physical objects within an environment. For example, the technology can receive and store physical object data for physical objects located within a coverage area provided by a plurality of antenna elements. A location of a user device within the coverage area can be identified. An algorithm (e.g., an adaptive learning algorithm) can be used to determine a transmission path based on the location of the user device and the physical object data. The algorithm can account for reflections and refractions of the signal with the physical objects. One or more of the plurality of antenna elements can transmit a signal for the user device to receive based on the determined transmission path.

Dependent claims

A system for enhancing coverage within a wireless telecommunications network, the system comprising:

one or more processors communicatively coupled with a plurality of antenna elements that provide coverage to an area;
and
computer memory storing computer-usable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving physical object data for physical objects of the area;
identifying a location of a user device within of the coverage area;
determining, using an algorithm, a transmission path based on the location of the user device and the physical object data for the physical objects;
and
transmitting a signal to the user device based on the determined transmission path.

5 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

identifying a location of a user device within a coverage area provided by a plurality of antenna elements;
based on identifying the location of the user device, retrieving physical object data for physical objects within the coverage area;
determining, using an algorithm, a transmission path based on the location of the user device and the physical object data;
and
transmitting a signal to the user device based on the determined transmission path.
