Abstract
Generally described, the disclosed subject matter is directed to improving the reception of data in wireless communication environments. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided for improving the reception of meter data in an AMR system. In particular, the method includes obtaining a sample of data indicative of channel quality for each transmission channel in the operational frequency band of the endpoint device. Then, the data is analyzed and a determination is made as to whether the reception of data by the collection system can be improved. If the reception of data by the collection system can be improved, a command is generated for reprogramming the endpoint device. In one embodiment, the command includes channel reprogramming data for reprogramming the endpoint device.

21. In a wireless communication environment that includes an endpoint device having a plurality of transmission channels within an operational frequency band, a collection system, and a host computing system, a method of improving the reception of data transmitted from the endpoint device, comprising:
- obtaining a sample of data indicative of channel quality for each transmission channel in the operational frequency band of the endpoint device;
analyzing said data indicative of channel quality;
determining if reception of data by the collection system can be improved; and
generating a command for reprogramming the endpoint device if it is determined that the reception of data can be improved, wherein the command includes channel reprogramming data. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
