Automatic adjustment of transmission power for 5G/6G messaging
Automatic adjustment of the transmission power, of 5G and 6G wireless messages, is necessary for efficient energy utilization and minimizing background generation, especially in high-density communication environments. However, the power level needed for adequate reception is a complex compromise among competing factors related to network performance, message features, and constantly changing noise/interference backgrounds. Disclosed are artificial intelligence systems and methods configured to determine an appropriate power level for communications. The AI model is trained to account for a wide range of conditions in real-time. For field use, an algorithm derived from the AI model, may be simplified and reduced in size to be appropriate for mobile user devices. The base station may prepare a map of signal attenuation factors, noting especially the “dead zones” of poor reception, and increase the transmission power whenever a mobile user device enters such a location. Many other aspects are disclosed.
1. A base station of a wireless network, configured to:
a) receive or determine a database of signal attenuation factors, each signal attenuation factor related to a geographical location in range of the base station;
b) receive, from a mobile user device, a first message indicating a user location and a user speed and a user direction of travel of the mobile user device;
c) determine, from the database, a particular signal attenuation factor at the user location;
d) adjust a transmission power level to compensate for the particular signal attenuation factor; and
e) transmit a second message to the mobile user device according to the adjusted transmission power level.
2. The base station of claim 1 , further configured to:
a) at a later time, calculate an updated location of the mobile user device according to the user location and the user speed and the user direction;
b) determine, from the database, an updated signal attenuation factor at the updated location;
c) update the transmission power level to compensate for the updated signal attenuation factor; and
d) transmit a third message to the mobile user device according to the updated transmission power level.
3. The base station of claim 1 , further configured to:
a) receive a digital map or two-dimensional data indicating a spatial distribution of roadways within range of the base station;
b) determine, according to the user location, and according to the spatial distribution of roadways, a particular roadway that the user device is traveling on;
c) at a later time, calculate, according to the particular roadway, and based at least in part on the user location and the user speed and the user direction, an updated location of the mobile user device;
d) determine, from the database, an updated signal attenuation factor at the updated location;
e) determine, from the map or database, an updated signal attenuation factor corresponding to the updated location;
f) determine an updated transmission power level according to the updated signal attenuation factor; and
g) transmit a third message to the mobile user device according to the updated transmission power level.
4. The base station of claim 3 , further configured to:
a) determine, according to the updated location of the mobile user device, and based at least in part on the database of signal attenuation factors, a revised transmission power level for the mobile user device; and
b) transmit, to the mobile user device, a fourth message suggesting that the mobile user device begin using the revised transmission power level for subsequent communications.
