Abstract
A system and method of managing collection and maintenance of performance data for a wireless communications network including collecting configuration data for the network, encoding the collected configuration data and storing the data, collecting a transmitted signal, measuring a parameter of the collected signal, and encoding and storing the parameter. These steps are repeated for additional configurations of the network. The transmitted signals are transmitted by a base station or a mobile device. Further, the transmitted signals are collected by a base station or a mobile device.
