Abstract
Methods and systems are described for parameter estimation based on historical context information. In one aspect, a communication context for a first mobile device is determined. The communication context is compared to a stored historical communication context of at least one other mobile device, wherein the stored historical communication context includes at least one of communication parameter estimates, mobile device statistics, mobile device transmit settings, and base station receiver settings. Parameters for communicating with the first mobile device are estimated based on the comparison.
Claims26
A method for parameter estimation in a wireless communication network based on historical context information, the method comprising:
- determining a communication context for a first mobile device, wherein the determined communication context includes a determined current location of the first mobile device within a portion of a cell of the communications system and at least one of communication parameter estimates, mobile device statistics, mobile device transmit settings, and base station receiver settings;
- comparing the communication context to a stored historical communication context of at least one other mobile device that was determined to previously be located in the portion of the cell, wherein the stored historical communication context includes at least one of communication parameter estimates, mobile device statistics, mobile device transmit settings, and base station receiver settings;
- estimating parameters for communicating with the first mobile device based on the comparison;
- and
- communicating with the first mobile device using the estimated parameters.
A system for parameter estimation in a wireless communication network based on historical context information, the system comprising system components including:
- a context monitor component configured for determining a communication context for a first mobile device, wherein the determined communication context includes a determined current location of the first mobile device within a portion of a cell of the communications system and at least one of communication parameter estimates, mobile device statistics, mobile device transmit settings, and base station receiver settings;
- a context comparison component configured for comparing the communication context to a stored historical communication context of at least one other mobile device that was determined to previously be located in the portion of the cell, wherein the stored historical communication context includes at least one of communication parameter estimates, mobile device statistics, mobile device transmit settings, and base station receiver settings;
- and
- a parameter estimation component configured for estimating parameters for communicating with the first mobile device based on the comparison;
- and
- a transceiver for communicating with the first mobile device using the estimated parameters;
- wherein the system components include at least a processing unit and memory configured to determine the communication context, compare the communication context, and estimate the parameters.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program, executable by a machine, for parameter estimation in a wireless communication network based on historical context information, the computer program comprising executable instructions for:
- determining a communication context for a first mobile device, wherein the determined communication context includes a determined current location of the first mobile device within a portion of a cell of the communications system and at least one of communication parameter estimates, mobile device statistics, mobile device transmit settings, and base station receiver settings;
- comparing the communication context to a stored historical communication context of at least one other mobile device that was determined to previously be located in the portion of the cell, wherein the stored historical communication context includes at least one of communication parameter estimates, mobile device statistics, mobile device transmit settings, and base station receiver settings;
- and
- estimating parameters for communicating with the first mobile device based on the comparison;
- and
- communicating with the first mobile device using the estimated parameters.
