Abstract
An information handling system for improving reception comprises logic for determining a target location for improved communication for a wireless telecommunication unit based in part on information representing a recent position of the wireless telecommunication unit, wherein the target location is more likely to result in better reception of wireless signals from a wireless access point. The system also includes a transceiver for receiving and transmitting signals to other users of the network. Optionally, the transceiver can be configured for receiving information representing the most recent position of the wireless unit and for transmitting directions to the wireless unit, the directions including information on how to get to the target location.
