System and method for planning a wireless computer network using network performance contour overlays
First Claim
1. A wireless computer network planning system for planning a wireless computer network having a predetermined layout, said system comprising:
- a template database for storing a plurality of templates;
a template identifier coupled to the template database, said template identifier for receiving search terms and for searching said template database for matching templates;
a network performance contour overlay generator for creating network performance contour overlays from performance parameters extracted from said matching templates;
a network performance contour overlay superimposer for receiving said predetermined layout and for superimposing at least one of said network performance contour overlays onto said predetermined layout producing a superimposed layout.

Abstract
The present invention makes use of a database of existing site surveys of a variety of locations and sites producing a plurality of test-bed templates and also a variety of simulation models of actual layouts and sites producing a plurality of simulation templates. The simulation templates and test-bed templates are used to find a best match to a new layout for planning a new wire-less computer network. Data comprising of performance parameters from the templates are used to generate network performance contour overlays that may be superimposed on the new layout.
