Maintaining high signal quality in mobile wireless networks using signal relative importance values
First Claim
1. A method, implemented on a computer system, for identifying and carrying out reconfiguration actions for a transmitter in a radio network, the method comprising:
- determining, for a first transmitter, a multitude of relative importance values for signal data points relating to the first transmitter, the signal data points being acquired by mobile wireless devices from the first transmitter, each relative importance value being determined by;
calculating a relative relevance for a first signal data point for the first transmitter, acquired by a first mobile wireless device, by comparing a first value for the first signal data point to a second value for a second signal data point for a second transmitter, where the first value and the second value are acquired by the mobile wireless device at a same location,calculating, by a fuzzy logic engine, a quality for the first signal data point, andrendering a relative importance value based upon the relative relevance and the quality for the first signal data point; and
carrying out a reconfiguration action upon at least one transmitter based upon the multitude of relative importance values.

Abstract
A computer-automated method is described for identifying and carrying out reconfiguration actions for a transmitter in a radio network. A computer system is configured to determine, for a first transmitter, a multitude of relative importance values for signal data points relating to the first transmitter, the signal data points being acquired by mobile wireless devices from the first transmitter. Each relative importance value is determined by: (1) calculating a relative relevance for a first signal data point for the first transmitter, acquired by a first mobile wireless device, by comparing a first value for the first signal data point to a second value for a second transmitter, (2) calculating, by a fuzzy logic engine, a quality for the first signal data point, and (3) rendering a relative importance value based upon the relative relevance and the quality for the first signal data point. The results are thereafter used to carry out a reconfiguration action upon at least one transmitter based upon the multitude of relative importance values.

20. A computer system including:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer executable instructions for identifying and carrying out reconfiguration actions for a transmitter in a radio network, the computer-executable being executed on the processor of the computer system to facilitate performing the steps of; determining, for a first transmitter, a multitude of relative importance values for signal data points relating to the first transmitter, the signal data points being acquired by mobile wireless devices from the first transmitter, each relative importance value being determined by; calculating a relative relevance for a first signal data point for the first transmitter, acquired by a first mobile wireless device, by comparing a first value for the first signal data point to a second value for a second signal data point for a second transmitter, where the first value and the second value are acquired by the mobile wireless device at a same location, calculating, by a fuzzy logic engine, a quality for the first signal data point, and rendering a relative importance value based upon the relative relevance and the quality for the first signal data point; and carrying out a reconfiguration action upon at least one transmitter based upon the multitude of relative importance values. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
