Abstract
A system and method for measuring and monitoring wireless network performance in campus and indoor environments provides for embedding measured network and signal properties at one or more locations within a facility into a site specific computer model which represents the facility. The computer representation is preferably three dimensional. The system and method allows for automatic, periodic, or location specific taking of measurements, and automatic or periodic embedding of measured data. The system and method allows real time or non-real time measurement and storing of performance data, and the invention is useful for test, measurement, verification, and in-situ or remote monitoring for on-going validation and maintenance of wireless networks.

804. A system for determining, monitoring or optimizing network throughput properties, comprising:
-
at least one computer or network;
one or more measurement devices for measuring network throughput properties; and
a computer program which is operational on said at least one computer or network which provides a computerized three dimensional representation of a facility which includes at least a portion of one building, said computerized three dimensional representation being constructed from a site specific drawing database of said facility, and wherein one or more measurements of network throughput properties obtained with said one or more measurement devices are embedded into said site specific drawing database by inputting one or more measurements of network throughput properties obtained from one or more locations in said facility, and wherein each of said measurements is associated with location information corresponding to a location of said one or more locations where said measurements were made within said facility. - View Dependent Claims (806, 808, 810, 812)
