Wireless Broadband Network Management
First Claim
1. A wireless broadband network management system, comprising:
- a data collection engine to collect data concerning traffic levels through the network base transceiver stations (BTSs), and the BTSs to which particular customer premise equipment (CPE) can connect; and
a processor to correlate the data collected;
to monitor overall network performance;
to aggregate performance of one or more CPES and BTSs;
to detect underperforming BTSs and CPEs; and
to automatically change connections between the BTSs and the CPEs according to two regimes operating in tandem, whereinthe first regimen selects CPEs and attempts to move them from busy BTSs to less busy BTSs; and
the second regimen filters CPE registration attempts on busy BTSs to divert the CPEs to less busy BTSs, to better balance the load.

Abstract
This invention concerns the management of wireless broadband networks. In particular the invention concerns a wireless broadband network management system comprising a data collection engine to collect data concerning traffic levels through the network base transceiver stations (BTSs), and the BTSs to which particular customer premise equipment (CPE) can connect; and a processor to correlate the data collected; to monitor overall network performance; to aggregate performance of one or more CPEs and BTSs; to detect underperforming BTSs and CPEs; and to automate CPE connections and disconnections to improve network performance in real time. In another aspect, the invention is a method for managing broadband networks. In further aspect, the invention is a software to implement the method.
