Nvidia patents method using GPUs to pair 5G devices with transmitters

Nvidia describes a system that uses graphics processing units (GPUs) to quickly decide which 5G devices should connect to which transmitters. The technology runs multiple calculations at the same time to measure signal quality for different device-transmitter combinations, allowing the system to pick the best group of connections for a specific frequency band.

Why it mattersThis filing is interesting because it suggests using high-performance computer chips, typically used for gaming or data centers, to handle the complex math required for efficient 5G network management.

In the filing’s own words

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to select a group devices to utilize a frequency band. In at least one embodiment, a plurality of groupings are generated in parallel and one of the selected groupings is selected to utilize the frequency band.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. One or more processors, comprising: circuitry to cause a grouping of fifth-generation new radio (5GNR) wireless signal receivers to be assigned to a grouping of 5GNR wireless signal transmitters based, at least in part, on two or more concurrent calculations of one or more quality metrics of one or more 5GNR wireless signals by two or more threads of one or more graphics processing units (GPUs), wherein each of the two or more threads is to concurrently calculate the one or more quality metrics of one or more 5GNR wireless signals for different combinations of at least some of the 5G wireless signal receivers and some of the 5GNR wireless signal transmitters.
