Sony patents method to tune wireless signals using virtual space models
Sony describes a system that creates a virtual model of a physical area to predict how wireless signals travel between a base station and a device. It uses this model to automatically adjust communication settings for better performance.
In the filing’s own words
An information processing device of the present disclosure includes a control unit. The control unit generates virtual space estimation information regarding wireless communication between a base station and a terminal device using a virtual communication environment generated based on position information regarding a position of at least one of the base station and the terminal device in a real space and communication environment information regarding a communication environment of the real space. The control unit determines a communication parameter of at least one of the base station and the terminal device based on the virtual space estimation information.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An information processing device comprising: a control unit configured to: generate virtual space estimation information regarding wireless communication between a base station and a terminal device using a virtual communication environment generated based on position information regarding a position of at least one of the base station and the terminal device in a real space and communication environment information regarding a communication environment of the real space; and determine a communication parameter of at least one of the base station and the terminal device based on the virtual space estimation information.
