Abstract

A system includes a transceiver to communicate with a predetermined target; one or more antennas coupled to the transceiver each electrically or mechanically steerable to the predetermined target; and an edge processing module coupled to the transceiver and one or more antennas to provide low-latency computation for the predetermined target.

Claims (40)

1. A system, comprising:

a transceiver to communicate with a predetermined target;

one or more antennas coupled to the transceiver each electrically or mechanically steerable to the predetermined target;

an edge processing module coupled to the transceiver and one or more antennas to provide computation for the predetermined target; and

a cloud processing module located at a cloud data center coupled to the edge processing module to share workload with the edge processing module to serve the predetermined target.

2. The system of claim 1 , comprising a quantum computer coupled to the edge processing module.

3. The system of claim 1 , comprising a processor that calibrates a connection by analyzing RSSI and TSSI.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the edge processing module comprises at least a processor, a graphical processing unit (GPU), a neural network, a quantum computer, a statistical engine, or a programmable logic device (PLD).

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the edge processing module and the antenna comprise a housing or shipping container, or the edge processing module is in a separate shipping container adjacent the antenna.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver comprises a 5G or 6G cellular transceiver.

7. The system of claim 1 , comprising a neural network coupled to a control plane, a management plane, and a data plane to optimize 5G parameters.

8. The system of claim 1 , comprising one or more cameras and sensors in the housing to capture security information.

9. The system of claim 1 , comprising edge sensors including LIDAR and RADAR.

10. The system of claim 1 , comprising a camera for individual identity identification.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the edge processing module streams data to the predetermined target to minimize loading the target.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the edge processing module comprises a housing or shipping container to provide local edge processing for Internet-of-Things (TOT) sensors.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the edge processing module uses pre-trained models and modifies the pre-trained models for a selected task.

14. A system, comprising:

a transceiver to communicate with a predetermined target;

one or more antennas coupled to the transceiver each electrically or mechanically steerable to the predetermined target;

an edge processing module coupled to the one or more antennas to provide computation for the predetermined target; and

a cloud data center in communication with the edge processing module to share workload with the edge processing module.

15. A system, comprising:

a transceiver to communicate with a predetermined target;

an edge processing module to provide computation for the predetermined target;

a cloud trained neural network whose network parameters are down-sampled before transferring to the edge processing module;

one or more antennas coupled to the transceiver each electrically or mechanically steerable to the predetermined target; and

a beam sweeping module controlling the antenna in accordance with one of: a service level agreement, a performance requirement, a traffic distribution data, a networking requirement or prior beam sweeping history.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the transceiver comprises a 5G or 6G cellular transceiver.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the beam sweeping is directed at a group of autonomous vehicles, a group of virtual reality devices, or a group of devices performing similar functions.

18. A system, comprising:

a transceiver to communicate with a predetermined target;

one or more antennas coupled to the transceiver each electrically or mechanically steerable to the predetermined target; and

an edge processing module to provide computation for the predetermined target, wherein the edge processing module shares workload with a core processing module located at a head-end and a cloud module located at a cloud data center, the core processing module and the cloud module having increased latency over the edge processing module and each having a processor, a graphical processing unit (GPU), a neural network, a quantum computer, a statistical engine, or a programmable logic device (PLD).

19. A system, comprising:

a transceiver to communicate with a predetermined target;

one or more antennas coupled to the transceiver each electrically or mechanically steerable to the predetermined target;

an edge processing module to provide computation for the predetermined target; and

a cloud trained neural network whose network parameters are down-sampled before transferring to the edge processing module for run-time neural network processing.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the edge processing module comprises a housing or shipping container.
