Abstract

Embodiments herein provide a method for managing orientation of a CPE ( 402 ). The method includes: detecting, by the CPE ( 402 ), that the CPE ( 402 ) is in a first orientation and connected to at least one first beam of at least one of a network element ( 600 ) and an electronic device ( 500 ). Further, the method includes detecting, by the CPE ( 402 ), a requirement for connecting to at least one second beam of at least one of the network element ( 600 ) and the electronic device ( 402 ). Further, the method includes changing, by the CPE ( 402 ), the CPE ( 402 ) to a second orientation for connecting to the at least one second beam.

Claims (46)

1. A system configured to manage an orientation of a consumer premise equipment (CPE), the system comprising:

a mounting pivot;

at least one moving unit including a motor,

wherein the at least one moving unit is disposed between the mounting pivot and the CPE;

at least one motor module including a motor; and

at least one control module comprising circuitry,

wherein the at least one motor module and the at least one control module are included in the CPE,

wherein the at least one control module and the at least one motor module being configured to position the CPE at an angle and a direction of rotation comprises:

the at least one control module configured to send a request comprising a current angular position of the CPE to the at least one motor module;

the at least one motor module configured to receive the request and send the current angular position comprising at least one of an azimuth angle and a zenith angle to the at least one control module based on the request;

the at least one control module configured to:

receive the current angular position comprising at least one of the azimuth angle and the zenith angle from the at least one motor module;

obtain at least one of a modem radio frequency (RF) parameter;

determine a position of the CPE based on the at least one of the modem RF parameter and the current angular position including at least one of the azimuth angle and the zenith angle;

determine that the position of the CPE is not same as the current angular position; and

send an angular position command comprising a new position of the CPE to the at least one motor module;

the motor module configured to:

receive the angular position command comprising the new position from the at least one control module; and

set the new position of the CPE based on the angular position command comprising the new position.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one azimuth angle is determined by:

determining whether a current reference signal receive power (RSRP) does not meet a specified threshold;

changing an azimuth angle position by a first single step of the rotation of the motor module based on the current RSRP not meeting the specified threshold;

obtaining a new RSRP;

determining whether the new RSRP is greater than the current RSRP;

changing an azimuth angle position by a second single step of the rotation of the motor module based on determining that the new RSRP is greater than the current RSRP.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control module is configured to:

monitor the orientation of the CPE over a period of time using a machine learning module based on a usage pattern;

store the orientation of the CPE; and

apply the orientation of the CPE using the machine learning module.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one control module and the at least one motor module are configured to position the CPE to receive at least one beam at an angle and a direction of rotation by:

authenticating the CPE by an electronic device;

establishing, by the electronic device, a connection between the CPE and the electronic device;

sending, by the electronic device, a command to receive a signal strength of the CPE;

receiving a response comprising the signal strength of the CPE based on the command by the electronic device; and

managing orientation of the CPE based on the response by the electronic device.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one moving unit is embedded in the mounting pivot, wherein the at least one moving unit comprises at least one of a motor module comprising a motor, a sensor, a magnetic based moving unit, a hall effect based conductive motion unit.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one control module and the at least one motor module are configured to select at least one antenna comprising a low power.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one beam comprises a wider beam and a narrower beam.

8. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one zenith angle is determined by:

determining whether a current reference signal receive power (RSRP) does not meet a specified threshold;

changing a zenith angle position by a first single step of the rotation of the motor module based on the current RSRP not meeting the specified threshold;

obtaining a new RSRP;

determining whether the new RSRP is greater than the current RSRP;

changing a zenith angle position by a second single step of the rotation of the motor module based on the new RSRP being greater than the current RSRP.

9. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a power supply is provided to at least one the CPE and the at least one moving unit using at least one port.

10. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the system comprises at least one gear configured to control rotation of the at least one moving unit.
