Self-directed mobile wireless access points and wireless endpoints for wireless testing
First Claim
1. A method, by a processor, for testing a wireless network environment, comprising:
- selecting a collection of candidate wireless network test locations for testing wireless network communication according to defined constraints, conditions, testing parameters, or a combination thereof;
dispatching a mobile wireless access point (WAP) to at least one stationary location from the collection;
commanding a mobile receiver to progressively move to each candidate test location along a testing route of the collection;
dynamically measuring the testing attributes relating to wireless network communication performance for each of the candidate test locations along the testing route of the collection; and
identifying qualified WAP locations from the candidate test locations based on the measured testing attributes.

Abstract
Embodiments for testing a wireless network location by a processor. A collection of candidate wireless network test locations is selected for testing wireless network communication according to defined constraints, conditions, testing parameters, or a combination thereof. A self-directed, mobile wireless access point (WAP) is dispatched to at least one stationary location from the collection. A self-directed, testing receiver may be commanded to progressively move to each candidate test location along a testing route of the collection. The testing attributes relating to wireless network communication performance are measured for each of the candidate test locations along the testing route of the collection. Qualified WAP locations are identified from the candidate test locations based on the measured testing attributes.

8. A system for testing a wireless network location, comprising:
one or more computers with executable instructions that when executed cause the system to; select a collection of candidate wireless network test locations for testing wireless network communication according to defined constraints, conditions, testing parameters, or a combination thereof; dispatch a self-directed, mobile receiving wireless access point (WAP) to at least one location from the collection; command a self-directed, testing receiver to progressively move to each candidate test location along a testing route of the collection; dynamically measure the testing attributes relating to wireless network communication performance for each of the candidate test locations along the testing route of the collection; and identify qualified WAP locations from the candidate test locations based on the measured testing attributes. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product for, by a processor, testing a wireless network location, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
an executable portion that selects a collection of candidate wireless network test locations for testing wireless network communication according to defined constraints, conditions, testing parameters, or a combination thereof; an executable portion that dispatches a self-directed, mobile receiving wireless access point (WAP) to at least one location from the collection; an executable portion that commands a self-directed, testing receiver to progressively move to each candidate test location along a testing route of the collection; an executable portion that dynamically measures the testing attributes relating to wireless network communication performance for each of the candidate test locations along the testing route of the collection; and an executable portion that identifies qualified WAP locations from the candidate test locations based on the measured testing attributes. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
