In order to reduce power consumption, an access node may turn off transmissions from one or more rows or columns of antennas in a mMIMO array. To help prevent the beam from overshooting (i.e., going beyond) an intended area of coverage when the access node turns off transmission by one or more rows, the access node also increases the electrical down tilt of the beam (i.e., angle of depression) to help contain the beam within its intended area of coverage. To help prevent problems with SSB beam selection and/or beam switching, when the access node turns off transmission by one or more columns, the access node reduces the number of SSB beams that are transmitted while sweeping SSBs over the sector thereby reducing the overlap of the (now) wider SSB beams.

A method includes receiving live digital micro electrical-mechanical system (MEMs) sound data from a speaker phone. The method further includes processing, at a subscribed user smart phone, the live digital MEMS sound data from the speaker smart phone in accordance with a hearing loss compensation algorithm. The subscribed user smart phone generates and outputs audible sound waves for the live digital for listening by the user of the subscribed user smart phone.
H04M 1/60 - Substation equipment, e.g. for use by subscribers including speech amplifiers
H04M 1/72412 - User interfaces specially adapted for cordless or mobile telephones with means for local support of applications that increase the functionality by interfacing with external accessories using two-way short-range wireless interfaces
The present disclosure describes a system and method for managing site configuration in a radio access network (RAN) environment. Trigger events are identified through data analysis, including network congestion, signal degradation, or performance deviation. Upon detecting a trigger event, specific site configuration data associated with the event is extracted from the RAN node. The extracted site configuration data is utilized to generate a new configuration file, ensuring the seamless update of network settings while maintaining the integrity of the RAN.
