User movement prediction algorithm in wireless network environment
First Claim
1. A wireless network comprising:
- a. a plurality of antennas, wherein a coverage area of each antenna defines a cell, thereby forming a plurality of cells, wherein the plurality of cells are configured in groups, each group defining a supercell, further wherein each group of cells includes a plurality of boundary cells that define an outer boundary of the supercell, wherein each boundary cell is adjacent to at least two other supercells; and
b. at least one control device coupled to provide control signals to the plurality of antennas such that while a wireless device is located within a first boundary cell of a first supercell each of the at least two adjacent supercells are configured in a standby mode, whereby data packets provided to the wireless device within the first boundary cell are also provided to the at least two adjacent supercells.

Abstract
A wireless network including a plurality of cells is configured into groups, each group defining a supercell. Within each supercell, a plurality of boundary cells defines an outer boundary of the supercell. Each boundary cell is adjacent to at least two other supercells. The wireless network also include a plurality of control devices, one control device corresponding to each supercell. Each control device controls communications within the plurality of cells of the corresponding supercell. Each control device utilizes a predictive algorithm to identify the at least two supercells adjacent to a given boundary cell and transmits data packets to a wireless device located in the given boundary cell and to the at least two supercells adjacent to the given boundary cell.
