20210337430 | Forecasting Traffic Demand Experienced by Wireless Communication System with Application to Channel Allocation - A traffic demand to be experienced by a base station (BS) at a target time instant is forecasted by obtaining a long-term component of the traffic demand and predicting a short-term component thereof. To predict the short-term component, a service area of the BS is imaged at an observation-making time instant earlier than the target time instant. The number of people captured in the image and located in the service area is determined. The BS collects identifiers of user equipments (UEs), such as media access control (MAC) addresses, to determine the number of UEs present at the observation-making time instant. The short-term component is computed from the number of people and the number of UEs via a mathematical function determined by a genetic algorithm or a machine-learning algorithm according to historical records. The forecasted traffic demand facilitates channel allocation for the BS. | 2021-10-28 |
20210337431 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING A COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A BASE STATION OF A CELLULAR MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND AT LEAST ONE MOVING COMMUNICATION PARTNER, COMPUTER PROGRAM, APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING STEPS OF THE METHOD, AND A VEHICLE - A method for managing a communication between a base station of a cellular mobile communication system and at least one first moving communication partner. The method includes collecting service quality reporting messages from moving communication partners, registered in the communication cell managed by the base station, wherein the collecting service quality reporting messages include collecting service quality reporting messages for direct communications between two moving communication partners and generating link-based quality of service maps for the communications between the base station and the moving communication partners, as well as for the direct communications between two of the moving communication partners. The method also includes predicting the quality of service for a communication between the base station and at least one moving communication partner based on the generated link-based quality of service maps map. | 2021-10-28 |
