Automated configuration of a wireless communication device

A communication system, comprising:

• a first communication device configured to receive identification signals from a plurality of second communication devices, process the identification signals to generate a composite signal, transfer the composite signal, receive wireless communication information, and process the wireless communication information to configure the first communication device for wireless communication;
• and
• a control system configured to receive the composite signal, determine a location of the first communication device in relation to the plurality of second communication devices based on the composite signal, generate a virtual topology map of the communication system based on the composite signal and the location of the first communication device, generate the wireless communication information based on the virtual topology map and the composite signal, and transfer the wireless communication information.

A control system within a communication system, comprising:

• an interface configured to receive a composite signal from a first communication device wherein the composite signal identifies a plurality of second communication devices that are in communication with the first communication device and transfer wireless communication information to the first communication device for wireless communication;
• and
• a processor configured to receive the composite signal from the interface, determine a location of the first communication device in relation to the plurality of second communication devices based on the composite signal, generate a virtual topology map of the communication system based on the composite signal and the location of the first communication device, generate the wireless communication information based on the virtual topology map and the composite signal, and transfer the wireless communication information to the interface.
