Systems and Methods for Managing Wireless Communications Using Link Space Information
First Claim
1. A method for providing link space data with respect to wireless links in a network, said method comprising:
- collecting wireless link attributes with respect to all wireless nodes of the network;
determining wireless links between nodes of the network; and
determining effective radiation proximity of said wireless nodes using at least a portion of said collected wireless link attributes and said determined wireless links.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods which provide for management of wireless communications through the development and use of link space information. Such link space information provides link-centric information with respect to wireless links of a network to thereby provide a view of the network which takes into account phenomena affecting the wireless links. Utilizing such link space information, automated management of various aspects of a wireless network may be provided, including automated provisioning, management, and/or optimization of network links. Network operations may include use of link space information in providing network management applications such as automatic fault management, automatic performance management, operation advisories, and/or the like.
