Abstract
Methods for interactively adjusting antennas and displaying network state elements in a simulated wireless network with real-time calculation and a complete display of the effect of the modification on the network performance. The result is an intuitive and efficient way of maintaining a wireless network that replaces a common multi-step, time consuming and tedious operation of network maintenance, by a single step operation that is performed in real time.
Claims60
A method for interactive, real-time adjustment of antennas and displaying network state elements in a wireless network, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a graphical user interface (GUI) capable of displaying one or more network state elements in a wireless network comprising one or more antennas, wherein each said antenna is described by a set of antenna parameters, and wherein a network state element is defined as one of a map of said wireless network, a graph relevant to said wireless network, and a scalar quantity relevant to said wireless network, and wherein said GUI is further capable of displaying current user-specified values of antenna parameters describing a selected antenna;
- b) receiving the currently displayed set of antenna parameters describing the selected antenna;
- c) performing a rapid network simulation analysis using said set of current antenna parameters;
- d) using results of said network simulation analysis, calculating the current values of all said network state elements;
- and
- e) displaying said current values on said GUI.
