Abstract
The present invention relates to a fixed transmitting station of a wireless telecommunication system comprising: antenna means (104, 106, 108) measurement means (110, 112) for electromagnetic field measurements of an electromagnetic environment of the antenna means, means (112, 118, 116, 120, 122) for transmitting of data being indicative of a measurement result to a central control unit (124).
Claims17
A fixed transmitting station of a wireless telecommunication system comprising:
- an antenna connected to said fixed transmitting station;
- measurement means for in-situ electromagnetic field measurements of an electromagnetic environment of the antenna at the fixed transmitting station, the electromagnetic field measurements being made by a fixed measurement probe mounted on said antenna,
- means for transmitting of data being indicative of a measurement result from the measurement means to a central control unit;
- a data processor that processes said data, and assesses at least one of electromagnetic field levels and a drift of electromagnetic parameters related to said electromagnetic environment;
- and
- a measurement device, coupled to said fixed measurement probe, that transmits signals to said measurement device and to a central control unit comprising an operation and maintenance center such that said data can be centrally monitored,
- wherein radio link parameters of the fixed transmitting station are controlled based on said electromagnetic field measurement.
A method of monitoring a fixed transmitting station of a wireless telecommunication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- at a fixed location on the fixed transmitting station, measuring of an electromagnetic field of an electromagnetic environment of an antenna of the fixed transmitting station by a fixed measurement probe mounted on said antenna,
- transmitting of data being indicative of a measurement result of the measurement to a central control unit comprising an operation and maintenance center,
- processing said data in a data processor,
- assessing, via said data processor, at least one of electromagnetic field levels and a drift of electromagnetic parameters related to said electromagnetic environment,
- transmitting, via a measurement device coupled to said fixed measurement probe, signals to said measurement device and to the central control unit, such that said data can be centrally monitored, and
- controlling radio link parameters of the fixed transmitting station based on said electromagnetic field measurement.
A computer readable medium having a stored computer program comprising said program means for performing the steps of:
- measuring an electromagnetic field measurement by a fixed measurement probe mounted on an antenna,
- inputting of data being indicative of a measurement result of the electromagnetic field measurement of an electromagnetic environment of the antenna of a fixed transmitting station of a wireless telecommunication system, said electromagnetic field measurement being performed at a fixed location of said fixed transmitting station, and
- processing of the data in a data processor for the purpose of at least one of data monitoring and controlling of at least one network parameter of the wireless telecommunication system,
- assessing, via said data processor, at least one of electromagnetic field levels and a drift of electromagnetic parameters related to said electromagnetic environment,
- transmitting, via a measurement device coupled to said fixed measurement probe, signals to said measurement device and to a central control unit comprising an operation and maintenance center, such that said data can be centrally monitored, and
- controlling radio link parameters of the fixed transmitting station based on said electromagnetic field measurement.
