Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for the ultra-precise analysis and characterization of RF propagation dynamics in complex wireless communication networks. The invented system includes sub-systems for the collection of network specific performance and environmental data, the consolidation of said data into representative signature elements, and the organization of said signature elements into a relational matrix. Through the invented methodology, RF performance and environmental composition data are closely correlated in uniformly weighted signature elements. These signatures, arranged in a relational matrix, represent a multiplicity of propagation pattern extrema. Limited RF data is compiled and formed into fractional signature elements. Fuzzy logic based reconstructive techniques are used to integrate these fractional elements into the normal signature matrix, allowing rapidly gathered and severely abbreviated data to produce extremely detailed and accurate characterization of RF propagation in localized coverage zones.
