A method for facilitating coordinated multipoint communication providing a plurality of network interface devices for measuring synchronization accuracy in the backhaul network; creating an actual coverage map for the coordinated multipoint communication analyzing the created actual coverage map to determine whether the backhaul network is sufficient for a selected coordinated multipoint technique; if the backhaul network is not sufficient determining one or more key performance indicators creating a conditional coverage map; comparing the actual coverage map with the conditional coverage map; reconfiguring the wireless communication network if the actual coverage map does not match the conditional coverage map.
A method for facilitating coordinated multipoint communication for a client device in a wireless communication network comprising a plurality of base stations and a backhaul network connecting the plurality of base stations, the method comprising the steps of:
A system for facilitating coordinated multipoint communication for a client device in a wireless communication network, the wireless communication network comprising a plurality of base stations and a backhaul network connecting the plurality of base stations, wherein the system creates an actual coverage map for the coordinated multipoint communication by analyzing data transfer between the client device and the plurality of base stations, and analyzes the created actual coverage map to determine whether the backhaul network is sufficient for a selected coordinated multipoint technique and a network controller to reconfigure the wireless communication network if the backhaul network is not sufficient for the selected coordinated multipoint technique, wherein the system further comprises a plurality of network interface devices for measuring synchronization accuracy in the backhaul network, wherein each of the plurality of network interface devices is assigned to one of the plurality of base stations and arranged in close proximity to the respective base station, wherein each of the network interface devices determines one or more key performance indicators of the backhaul network if the system determines that the backhaul network is not sufficient for a selected coordinated multipoint technique, wherein the system further creates a conditional coverage map on the basis of the determined one or more key performance indicators, and compares the actual coverage map with the conditional coverage map and wherein the network controller reconfigures the wireless communication network if the actual coverage map does not match the conditional coverage map.
