Sony patents system to stop cell towers from jamming each other
Sony describes a control device that manages how multiple cell towers share the same wireless signals. It calculates the coverage area for each tower based on a set priority level and adjusts their settings to prevent their radio waves from interfering with one another.
In the filing’s own words
There is provided a communication control device capable of preventing or suppressing radio wave interference between base stations when a plurality of base stations uses the same wireless communication resource. The communication control device includes: a reception unit that receives information regarding priority of a first base station and a second base station; a determination unit that determines priority between the first base station and the second base station on the basis of the information regarding the priority; a calculation unit that calculates radio wave areas of the first base station and the second base station on the basis of the priority; a decision unit that decides a wireless parameter of at least one of the first base station or the second base station on the basis of the radio wave areas; and a first transmission unit that transmits the wireless parameter to a corresponding base station.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A communication control device comprising: a first reception unit that receives information regarding priority of a first base station and a second base station; a determination unit that determines priority between the first base station and the second base station on a basis of the information regarding the priority; a calculation unit that calculates radio wave areas of the first base station and the second base station on a basis of the priority; a decision unit that decides a wireless parameter of at least one of the first base station or the second base station on a basis of the radio wave areas; and a first transmission unit that transmits the wireless parameter to a corresponding base station.
