Dynamic antenna configuration based on station profiles
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11962370B2) outlines a method for optimizing antenna configurations in a network environment. The method involves generating station profiles for multiple stations based on their structures and antenna pattern groups, identifying a station profile for a specific station using information received from that station, and configuring a dynamic antenna device's antennas based on the antenna pattern group associated with the selected station. The received information may include an antenna pattern predisposition indicator, and the antennas can be arranged in a circular manner with the ability to switch between different subplurality of antennas based on the station's profile.
Furthermore, the patent describes a computer-readable storage medium with instructions for categorizing stations into antenna pattern groups, associating station structures with corresponding antenna pattern groups to create station profiles, identifying a station profile based on received information, determining the antenna pattern group for the station, and configuring network device antennas accordingly. The highest estimated gain antenna pattern group is selected based on factors like polarization match and antenna signal summation. Additionally, an apparatus is detailed in the patent, comprising a memory and processor to generate station profiles, identify specific station profiles, and adjust antenna configurations based on the station's antenna pattern group. The processor can selectively activate different subplurality of antennas and determine the optimal antenna pattern group for the station to maximize signal gain.
