    摘要: Embodiments are described herein to provide a general approach to wireless outage recovery. One general approach involves network equipment detecting (101) an outage condition for a wireless coverage area. In response to detecting the outage condition, the network equipment adjusts (102) a tilt setting of an antenna at a wireless node having a neighboring wireless coverage area. The wireless node then provides (103) wireless service to at least a portion of the wireless coverage area to mitigate the outage condition. Ideally, the wireless node provides wireless service to one or more areas of high traffic density within the outage area.

    摘要: Embodiments are described herein to provide a general approach to wireless coverage gap detection. One general approach involves network equipment comparing (101) a current wireless service map to a historical wireless service map, where the current wireless service map and the historical wireless service map correspond to the same wireless coverage area. If a difference in wireless service between the current wireless service map and the historical wireless service map exceeds a threshold, a potential wireless coverage problem is reported (102). Such an approach may be able to detect network performance problems related to antenna misalignment/malfunction in an effort to minimize the service interruption to subscribers.

    摘要: A method for estimating a geographic location of a mobile station includes calculating an angular position of a mobile station to a base station based on first and second signal strength measurements and an angular position reference for the base station, the signal strength measurements from the mobile station for RF signals from first and second sector antennas of the base station. Another method includes calculating a radial distance of a mobile station from a base station serving the mobile station, determining a signal strength report from the mobile station includes a signal strength measurement for an RF signal from a first sector antenna of the base station, and identifying a geographic location of the mobile station based on intersection of a circle around the base station with a radius of the radial distance with a sub-sector geographic area in an RF coverage map for the first sector antenna.

    摘要: A method for estimating a geographic location of a mobile station within a coverage area of a wireless network includes: determining a radial distance of the mobile station from a serving base station based on a round trip measurement and calculating an angular position of the mobile station in relation to the radial distance based on a first signal strength measurement, a second signal strength measurement, and an angular position reference that extends outward from the serving base station. The signal strength measurements representative of power characteristics of RF signals received by the mobile station from first and second sector antennas of the serving base station. An apparatus associated therewith includes a distance module to perform the determining and an angular position module to perform the calculating. The apparatus may be implemented in a base station, a geo-location service node, a network management node, or other communication nodes.
