Abstract
A radio communication system includes at least one receive antenna for receiving communication signals, processing circuitry for processing the received communication signals and repeating the signals for further transmission, and at least one transmit antenna for transmitting the repeated signals. The processing circuitry is operable for receiving an input regarding the current geographic location of the communication system. The processing circuitry is further capable of recording measurements and data regarding the operation and use of the radio communication system and its operating environment including where and when the measurements and data were taken. The processing circuitry further provides a user interface and capabilities to analyze and visualize the recorded information to diagnose problems and optimize performance. Additionally, the recorded information can be transmitted to a remote server where can be used to determine optimal operational settings for other radio communication systems when they are operating in the same location where the measurements were taken, and these operational settings can be transmitted to these other radio communications systems prior to their use in these locations.
