GPS downloadable interface locator
First Claim
1. In a wireless communication network a method for locating geographical coordinates of a plurality of base stations having included radios, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining a coordinate position of one of the plurality of base stations having radios by co-locating a GPS position locator with the one of the plurality of base stations having radios and determining the coordinate position from the GPS position locator; and
transmitting said coordinate position to a control center;
removing the GPS position locator from co-location with the one of the plurality of base stations once a coordinate position is established.

Abstract
In a wireless communication network a method for locating and tracking status of a plurality of radio ports comprises the steps of: determining a coordinate position of one of the plurality of radio ports; and transmitting the coordinate position to a control center. The method can further comprise the step of removably-interfacing a GPS receiver to one of the plurality of radio ports. Transmitting the coordinate position to the control center can utilize a wired connection. Additionally, the coordinate position can be stored at the control center. The coordinate position is integrated into a map of the plurality of radio ports. A nonresponsive radio port can be identified by a corresponding coordinate position and the wireless network traffic can be routed appropriately.

11. In an indoor wireless communication network a method for locating geographical coordinates of a plurality of base stations having included radios, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining a coordinate position of one of the plurality of base stations having radios by locating a GPS position locator at an outdoor location serving as a reference point which is in a coordinate relation with the one of the plurality of base stations having radios and determining the coordinate position of the base stations from the coordinate relation of each with the GPS position locator; and transmitting said coordinate position to a control center; removing the GPS position locator from the outdoor location with the coordinate relation with one of the plurality of base stations once a coordinate position is established. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
