摘要： A system and method have been developed wherein a cylindrical antenna array is configured and reconfigured in a wireless communication network. Position and signal information are continuously received from wireless mobile units and are used to determine reconfigurations of antenna components of the cylindrical antenna array to enhance performance of the system. As such, base station antennas are dynamically configured to minimize such things as interference and dropped calls, and to maximize their voice quality both within a cell, and among neighboring cells.

摘要： The present invention provides a method and apparatus for measuring at least one signal characteristic. Initially, a set of features is selected which characterize a signal. An intelligent system, such as a neural network, is trained in the relationship between feature sets and signal characteristics. The selected feature set is then extracted from a first input signal. The extracted feature set from the first signal is input to the trained intelligent system. The intelligent system creates an output signal based on the feature set extracted from the first input signal. This output signal is then used to characterize the input signal. In one embodiment, the invention assesses voice quality, typically as expressed in MOS scores, in a manner which accurately corresponds to the analysis of human evaluators. For voice signals processed by voice coders, the present invention provides a measurement technique which is independent of various voice coding algorithms and consistent for any given algorithm.
