Abstract

A computer system obtains, from a terminal device, network data related to communication between the terminal device and a network. The network data describes multiple network servers in the network that are configured to serve the terminal device. The system identifies a first network server of the multiple network servers that is serving the terminal device. The system can select a network server, which can be the first network server or a different network server, depending on the proximity of the server to the terminal device, the server beamwidth to the terminal device, and/or the server azimuth to the terminal device.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

at least one hardware processor;
and
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the system to:
obtain, from a terminal device, network data related to communication between the terminal device and a network,
wherein the network data describes multiple network servers in the network that are configured to serve the terminal device;
identify, using the obtained network data, a first network server of the multiple network servers that is serving the terminal device;
identify a second network server of the multiple network servers that is geographically closer than the first network server to the terminal device;
determine a second network server beamwidth and a second network server azimuth to the terminal device;
determine that the second network server beamwidth and the second network server azimuth cover the terminal device;
and
responsive to determining that the second network server beamwidth and the second network server azimuth cover the terminal device, select the second network server to serve the terminal device.

8 more elements

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions recorded thereon, wherein the instructions when executed by at least one data processor of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

obtain, from a terminal device, network data related to communication between the terminal device and a network,
wherein the network data describes multiple network servers in the network that are configured to serve the terminal device;
identify, using the obtained network data, a first network server of the multiple network servers that is serving the terminal device;
identify a second network server of the multiple network servers that is geographically closer than the first network server to the terminal device;
determine a second network server beamwidth and a second network server azimuth to the terminal device;
determine that the second network server beamwidth and the second network server azimuth fail to cover the terminal device;
and
responsive to determining that the second network server beamwidth and the second network server azimuth fail to cover the terminal device,
cause the first network server to continue serving the terminal device.
