Abstract
A design system designs a first antenna system in a communication system. The design system retrieves demographic information of customers from a first database system. The design system determines communication traffic based on the demographic information. The design system retrieves parameters of a second antenna system from a second database system. The design system determines an antenna system configuration for the first antenna system based on the communication traffic and the parameters of the second antenna system. The design system then determines a performance of the first antenna system in response to determining the antenna system configuration for the first antenna system.
Claims57
A method of designing a first antenna system in a communication system, the method comprising:
- retrieving demographic information of customers from a first database system;
- determining communication traffic based on the demographic information;
- retrieving parameters of a second antenna system from a second database system;
- determining an antenna system configuration for the first antenna system based on the communication traffic and the parameters of the second antenna system;
- and
- determining a performance of the first antenna system in response to determining the antenna system configuration for the first antenna system.
A design system for designing a first antenna system, the design system comprising:
- a processor system configured to retrieve demographic information of customers from a first database system, determine communication traffic based on the demographic information, retrieve parameters of a second antenna system from a second database system, determine an antenna system configuration for the first antenna system based on the communication traffic and the parameters of the second antenna system, and determine a performance of the first antenna system in response to determining the antenna system configuration for the first antenna system;
- and
- an interface connected to the processor and configured to transfer the demographic information from the first database system to the processor and transfer the parameters of the second antenna system from the second database system.
A software product for designing a first antenna system in a communication system, the software product comprising:
- design software operational when executed by a processor to direct the processor to retrieve demographic information of customers from a first database system, determine communication traffic based on the demographic information, retrieve parameters of a second antenna system from a second database system, determine an antenna system configuration for the first antenna system based on the communication traffic and the parameters of the second antenna system, and determine a performance of the first antenna system in response to determining the antenna system configuration for the first antenna system;
- and
- a storage medium configured to store the design software.
