Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for managing uplink transmission power (UTP) plans for user devices. A manager can assess UTP adjustment criteria to determine if an updated UTP plan should be activated for the user device. UTP plans may need to be updated when devices are transmitting too much power or not enough in order to be received by a telecommunications network. Updated UTP plans can increase or decrease the power transmitted by the device.

Claims (36)

1. A system for managing uplink transmission power plans, the system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more computer-readable media storing computer-usable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

identify a trigger to initiate adjusting an uplink transmission power (UTP) plan for a first device;

identify one or more UTP adjustment criteria; and

activate an updated UTP plan for the first device based on the one or more UTP adjustment criteria.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the updated UTP plan increases power levels at the first device.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the updated UTP plan decreases power levels at the first device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the updated UTP plan is adjusted to a value outside of a predetermined range.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the UTP criteria includes a location of the first device.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one service source is a ground service tower or a satellite cellular service device.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the UTP criteria includes historical power level performance for at least the first device.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the UTP criteria includes environmental data including one or more of climate conditions and a power source for the first device.

9. A method for managing uplink transmission power plans, the method comprising:

identifying a trigger to initiate adjusting an uplink transmission power (UTP) plan for a first device;

identifying a location of at least one upcoming service source;

identifying one or more UTP adjustment criteria; and

activating an updated UTP plan for the first device based on the one or more UTP adjustment criteria.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one upcoming service source is a ground service tower or a satellite cellular service device.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the updated UTP plan increases or decreases power levels at the first device.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the updated UTP plan is adjusted to a value outside of a predetermined range.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the UTP criteria includes a location of the first device.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the UTP criteria includes historical power level performance for at least the first device.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the UTP criteria includes environmental data including one or more of climate conditions and a power source for the first device.

16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

monitoring the UTP criteria at predetermined time intervals; and

based on the UTP criteria returning to a previous state prior to the activation of the updated UTP plan, deactivating the updated UTP plan and reactivating an original UTP plan.

17. A method for managing uplink transmission power plans, the method comprising:

identifying a trigger to adjust a first UTP plan for a first device;

identifying one or more UTP plan criteria comprising at least one environmental factor;

dynamically adjusting the first UTP plan for the first device, wherein the first UTP plan is adjusted to decrease power levels;

identifying a second device having a second UTP plan within a predetermined distance of the first device; and

adjusting the second UTP plan of the second device to mirror the first UTP plan of the first device.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the second device has previously approved updates to the second UTP plan based on proximity to one or more other devices.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the second device shares similar environmental factors with the first device.

20. The method of claim 17 , further comprising adjusting one or more additional UTP plans of one or more additional devices that are within a predetermined distance of the first device.
