Abstract
A system for creating a computer database model of either measured data network throughput properties or wireless communication signal properties within a facility by measuring the desired properties at a plurality of locations within the facility and embedding the measured properties at the location of measurement represented in a three-dimensional facility drawing database.
Claims12
A system for creating a computer database model of measured RF signal properties within a facility, comprising:
- at least one base transceiver, positioned in a facility, for transmitting or receiving RF signals;
- at least one mobile transceiver for measuring the properties of said RF signals at a plurality of locations within said facility;
- means for representing said facility in a computer database model;
- means for automatically periodically determining a location of said mobile transceiver within said facility;
- means for embedding said measured RF signal properties at said location within said computer database model of said facility, said means for automatically periodically determining and said means for embedding being operable at each of said plurality of locations;
- and
- means for displaying said computer database model of said facility overlayed with said embedded signals.
A system for creating a computer database model for recorded network data throughput properties within a facility, comprising:
- a mobile client computer for roving within a facility;
- a server computer, positioned in said facility, for hosting said mobile client computer;
- means for recording data throughput properties between said mobile client computer and said server computer or other mobile client computer at a plurality of locations within said facility;
- means for representing said facility in a database model;
- means for embedding said recorded data throughput properties at each of said plurality of locations within said database model of said facility;
- and
- means for displaying said database model of said facility overlayed with said embedded data throughput properties.
