Abstract

A system is provided for dynamic communication adjustment. The system includes a server that obtains data associated with a base transceiver station. The server also compares the data to at least one threshold. Additionally, the server promotes adjustment of an operational parameter of a base transceiver station based on the comparison. Furthermore, the server promotes readjustment of at least one operational parameter based on an at least weekly comparison of subsequently obtained data associated with the base transceiver station to at least one threshold.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method for dynamic communication adjustment, comprising:

obtaining data associated with a base transceiver station, wherein the data comprises hand down failure data, carrier balance data, and dropped call data;

comparing the hand down failure data to a hand down failure threshold;

determining whether a carrier is balanced based on the carrier balance data when the hand down failure data is greater than the hand down failure threshold;

comparing the dropped call data to a dropped call threshold when the carrier is balanced; and

promoting adjustment of an operational parameter of the base transceiver station when the dropped call data is greater than the dropped call threshold, wherein the operational parameter is a dynamic hand down distance parameter.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising promoting adjustment of a radio frequency loading factor when the carrier is not balanced.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the promoting adjustment of the operational parameter comprises promoting adjustment of hand off parameters.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising promoting readjustment of at least one operational parameter based on an at least weekly comparison of subsequently obtained data associated with the base transceiver station to at least one threshold.
