Apple patents method to check if its 5G beam predictions are accurate

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Apple describes a system that compares its predicted best wireless beams with actual measured beam strength to calculate a performance score. It then sends this score to the network so operators can see how well the prediction model is working.

Why it mattersIt helps network providers verify that their 5G signal optimization tools are functioning correctly, which could lead to more stable connections.

In the filing’s own words

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatuses, systems, and methods for performance monitoring of a beam prediction model.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method comprising: obtaining a set of predicted ranked beams from a beam prediction model; generating a set of measured ranked beams based on respective beam measurements; determining a performance metric associated with the beam prediction model based on respective rankings of the set of predicted ranked beams and the set of measured ranked beams; and generating, for transmission to a network, a report that indicates the performance metric.
