Dell Technologies has filed a patent for a data communication network that utilizes imaging devices to provide image information for a radio frequency (RF) coverage area. An information handling system receives RF coverage information and image information, and based on this data, determines RF coverage maps and allocates bandwidth to data communication nodes. The system can detect changes in the RF coverage map and adjust bandwidth allocation accordingly.

The patent filed is for a data communication network
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230319584A1) describes a data communication network that utilizes imaging devices to provide image information for a radio frequency (RF) coverage area. The network includes multiple data communication nodes that establish data connections with user equipment devices within the RF coverage area. An information handling system receives RF coverage information from the data communication nodes and first image information from the imaging devices. Based on this information, the system determines a first RF coverage map for the RF coverage area and provides a first bandwidth allocation to the data communication nodes.
The information handling system also receives second image information from the imaging devices and determines if the first RF coverage map has changed to a second RF coverage map based on the difference between the first and second image information. If a change is detected, the system provides a second bandwidth allocation to the data communication nodes based on the updated RF coverage map.
Additionally, the information handling system can receive third image information from the imaging devices and analyze the pattern in the number of user equipment devices within the RF coverage area. Based on this pattern, the system can provide a different bandwidth allocation to the data communication nodes. If the pattern indicates an increase in the number of user equipment devices, the second bandwidth allocation may be greater than the first allocation. Conversely, if the pattern indicates a decrease in the number of user equipment devices, the second bandwidth allocation may be less than the first allocation.
Furthermore, the information handling system can provide recommendations to add a data communication node to the network based on the second RF coverage map. This allows for the optimization and expansion of the data communication network based on the changing RF coverage and user equipment device patterns.
Overall, this patent describes a data communication network that utilizes imaging devices and RF coverage information to dynamically allocate bandwidth to data communication nodes. By adapting to changes in RF coverage and user equipment device patterns, the network can optimize its performance and provide efficient data connections within the coverage area.
