Priority access license holder protection
According to one configuration, a communication management resource in a wireless network environment records a location of a wireless base station. The communication management resource then defines a region of wireless coverage provided by the wireless base station based on feedback received from the wireless base station. For example, in one arrangement, the user equipment provides performance metrics to the wireless base station. The wireless base station uses the performance metrics to determine boundaries associated with a region of wireless coverage provided by the wireless base station. The wireless base station communicates the boundary information to the communication management resource. Subsequent to identifying the location of the wireless base station and defining the determined region of wireless coverage associated with the wireless base station, the communication management resource then controls allocation of wireless bandwidth in a vicinity of the region of wireless coverage to protect the wireless base station from interference.
Apparatus and method for determining a preferred location for installation of a radio transceiver
A respective preferred installation height above ground level is determined for each of a plurality of locations for a subscriber module for receiving a radio link from an access point in a wireless network, the access point having a given height above ground level and a specified location, and the subscriber module being situated within a given geographical area including the location of the access point. The method comprises accessing elevation data for the given geographical area, processing the elevation data to generate a preferred height data file representing a preferred height for a subscriber module to be wirelessly visible by the access point at each of the plurality of locations and processing the required height data file to provide output data indicating the preferred height of the subscriber module as a function of location.

Systems and methods for identifying a source of radio frequency interference in a wireless network
An interference detection system in a network identifies a first wireless station that has experienced radio frequency (RF) interference from an unknown source and identifies one or more second wireless stations that have experienced similar interference. A plurality of estimated interference source locations are scored based on a comparison of estimated interference to observed interference at the one or more second wireless stations. A predicted interference source location is identified based on the scored plurality of estimated interference source locations. It is determined whether the unknown interference source is a persistent interference source over a selected time period, wherein the predicted interference source location is identified for each interval in the selected time period. The predicted interference source locations for each interval in the selected time period are retrieved and an aggregated predicted interference source location is calculated based on the retrieved predicted interference source locations.
Fitted sector analytics
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide a fitted sector analytics service. The service may generate sector-fitted diagram information based on cell site diagram information. The service may calculate geographic coordinates for each sector of a cell site based on cell site coordinates, a maximum radius value, and a direction of an antenna associated with a sector of a radio access network device.
