Characterizing cable leakage interference priorities on LTE
First Claim
1. A method of conforming to cable leakage compliance level requirements, said method comprising:
- calculating, using a processor on a computer, a relative severity/priority of repairs for cable leakage over a cable operator service area, said cable operator providing a cable TV service; and
providing a result of said relative severity/priority calculation, thereby permitting higher priority leaks to be identified and repaired,wherein said calculating of relative severity/priority comprises;
storing geographical locations of transmission facilities for cellular services affecting a service area being evaluated, said cellular services comprising at least LTE (Long Term Evolution)/3G cellular services;
receiving data related to cable leakage sources;
receiving data related to wireless service quality, if available; and
exercising, using said processor on said computer, a prioritizing algorithm that calculates a relative severity of each said cable leakage source.

Abstract
A method and structure for conforming to cable leakage compliance level requirements includes calculating, using a processor on a computer, a priority of repairs for cable leakage over a cable operator service area. A result of the priority calculation is provided, thereby permitting higher priority leaks to be identified and repaired. The calculating of priority includes storing geographical locations of cell towers affecting a service area being evaluated, receiving data related to cable leakage sources, receiving data related to wireless service quality, if available, and exercising, using the processor on the computer, a prioritizing algorithm that calculates a relative severity of each cable leakage source.
