Patent ID: 10721586

Abstract:
A wireless communication network enhances Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) for wireless user devices that have multiple device types. The wireless communication network has wireless access points that store MIMO geofences for the device types. The wireless access points select MIMO geofences for the wireless user devices based the device types. The wireless access points exchange Single User (SU) MIMO signals and Multiple User (MU) MIMO signals with the wireless user devices based on the selected MIMO geofences and device locations. The wireless access points transfer MIMO information characterizing the exchange of the MU-MIMO signals. A MIMO control system processes the MIMO information to determine geofence modifications based on MU-MIMO gains for the device types at the device locations. The MIMO control system transfers the geofence modifications to the wireless access points. The wireless access points update their MIMO geofences based on the geofence modifications.
