Abstract
A system and method of managing collection and maintenance of performance data for a wireless communications network including collecting configuration data for the network, encoding the collected configuration data and storing the data, collecting a transmitted signal, measuring a parameter of the collected signal, and encoding and storing the parameter. These steps are repeated for additional configurations of the network. The transmitted signals are transmitted by a base station or a mobile device. Further, the transmitted signals are collected by a base station or a mobile device.
Claims18
In a wireless communications network having a plurality of base stations for communication with a plurality of mobile devices, a method of managing the collection and maintenance of performance data for the wireless communications network comprising:
- (a) collecting configuration data for the wireless communications network;
- (b) encoding the collected configuration data and storing the data in a first database;
- (c) collecting signals transmitted by the mobile device at at least one base station;
- (d) measuring at least one parameter of the collected signal;
- (e) encoding the at least one parameter and storing in a second database;
- and
- (f) repeating steps (a)-(e) for a plurality of configurations.
In a wireless communication network having a configuration of communication elements for communicating with a mobile device, a method of collecting performance information related to the configuration of the network elements comprising:
- (a) collecting performance data for a first configuration of network elements;
- (b) encoding the collected performance data for the first configuration and storing in a database;
- (c) collecting performance data for a second configuration of network elements;
- (d) encoding the collected performance data for the second configuration and storing in a database;
- and
- (e) predicting the performance data for a third configuration as a function of the performance data for the first and second configurations, wherein the first, second and third configurations are not the same configuration.
In a wireless communications network having a plurality of base stations for communication with a plurality of mobile devices, a method of managing the collection and maintenance of performance data for the wireless communications network comprising:
- (a) collecting configuration data for the wireless communications network;
- (b) encoding the collected configuration data and storing the data in a database;
- (c) collecting signals transmitted by at least one base station at at least one mobile device;
- (d) measuring at least one parameter of the collected signal;
- (e) encoding the at least one parameter and storing in a database;
- and
- (f) repeating steps (a)-(e) for a plurality of configurations.
A method for evaluating the performance of a wireless communications network having a plurality of base stations for communicating with a plurality of mobile devices, comprising:
- (a) collecting configuration data for the wireless communications network and storing in a database;
- (b) measuring at least one parameter of the communication signals transmitted in the wireless communications network and storing in the database;
- (c) receiving a request for the at least one measured parameter for a specified network configuration;
- and
- (f) providing the requested at least one parameter that is valid for the specified network configuration.
