1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a network device, a plurality of signal characteristic measurements from each of a plurality of sensors disposed at and associated with geographically distinct locations throughout a premises, wherein each of the plurality of sensors measures signal characteristics;
determining a prioritized sensor among the plurality of sensors;
comparing a signal characteristic measurement from the prioritized sensor to a set of predefined signal characteristics; and
adjusting one or more transmission characteristics of the network device based on a difference between the signal characteristic measurement from the prioritized sensor and the set of predefined signal characteristics, such that a signal provided to a location associated with the prioritized sensor is altered relative to a signal provided to another of the plurality of sensors.

Abstract
An example method can comprise receiving a plurality of signal characteristic measurements from each of a plurality of sensors disposed at geographically distinct premises or geographically distinct locations throughout a premises. A prioritized sensor (e.g., prioritized relative to other sensors) can be determined from among the plurality of sensors, and the signal characteristic measurement from the prioritized sensor can be compared to a set of predefined signal characteristics. A network device can adjust one or more transmission characteristics based on the received signal characteristic measurements.

7. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a network device, measurements from each of a plurality of sensors disposed at geographically distinct locations throughout a premises, each of the plurality of sensors measuring signal characteristics; determining a sensor priority ranking of the plurality of sensors; selecting a first sensor of the plurality of sensors based on the sensor priority ranking; selecting a second sensor of the plurality of sensors based on the sensor priority ranking; adjusting one or more characteristics of a signal transmission at the network device until the received measurements from the first sensor meet first predefined signal characteristics; and adjusting the one or more characteristics of the signal transmission at the network device until the received measurements from the second sensor meet second predefined signal characteristics. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a network device, measurements from each of a first sensor and a second sensor, wherein the first sensor is disposed at a first premises and the second sensor is disposed at a second premises, and wherein each of the first sensor and the second sensor measures signal characteristics; receiving, from a service provider, an indication that the first sensor is a prioritized sensor; and adjusting one or more characteristics of a signal transmission to the first premises until the received measurements from the prioritized sensor meet predefined signal characteristics. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
