1. A method of evaluating interacting RF devices, comprising:
- receiving selected interactivity parameters for a first virtual spectrum user from a first contestant;
receiving selected interactivity parameters for a second virtual spectrum user from a second contestant,wherein the first and second contestants are not coordinated with each other and each contestant is not aware of the selected interactivity parameters from the other contestant;
providing a virtual RF environment for the first and second spectrum users wherein the selected interactivity parameters for the first virtual spectrum user controls the operation of the first virtual spectrum user and affects the performance of the second virtual spectrum user;
evaluating the performance of the first and second virtual spectrum users in the virtual RF environment wherein the step of evaluating the performance of the first virtual spectrum user includes evaluating a message throughput of the first and second virtual spectrum users in the virtual RF environment;
assigning a score to the first virtual spectrum user as a function of the evaluated performance of the first virtual spectrum user;
assigning a score to the second virtual spectrum user as a function of the evaluated performance of the second virtual spectrum user; and
identifying whether the first or second virtual spectrum user was assigned the higher score.

Abstract
A system and method for evaluating the interactivity of RF devices in a virtual RF environment having selective virtual spectrum users remotely controlled by a web browser, where the virtual spectrum users have selectable interactivity parameters, and the virtual RF spectrum can be selectively changed, and the performance of the virtual spectrum users is evaluated and assigned scores as a function of the evaluation to determine which virtual spectrum user receives the highest amount of points.

13. A method of evaluating interacting RF devices, comprising:
receiving selected interactivity parameters for a plurality of virtual spectrum users, wherein each of the plurality of virtual spectrum users are not coordinated with each other and virtual spectrum user is not aware of the selected interactivity parameters from other virtual spectrum users; providing a virtual RF environment for the plurality of spectrum users, wherein the selected interactivity parameters for a first virtual spectrum user controls the operation of the first virtual spectrum user and affects the performance of the other virtual spectrum user; evaluating the performance of a first virtual spectrum user in the virtual RF environment, wherein the step of evaluating the performance of the first virtual spectrum user includes evaluating the message throughput of all virtual spectrum users in the virtual RF environment; assigning a score to the first virtual spectrum user as a function of the evaluated performance of the first virtual spectrum user; assigning a score to the other virtual spectrum users as a function of an evaluated performance of the other virtual spectrum users; and identifying a virtual spectrum user assigned the highest score among the plurality of virtual spectrum users. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for evaluating interacting RF devices, comprising:
a first virtual spectrum user having first selectable interactivity parameters controlled by a first contestant through selection of the first selectable interactivity parameters; a second virtual spectrum user having second selectable interactivity parameters controlled by a second contestant through selection of the second selectable interactivity parameters; wherein the first and second contestants are not coordinated with each other and each contestant is not aware of the selected interactivity parameters from the other contestant; a real-time modeler processor responsive to the first and second virtual spectrum users in real time to track the physical location of the first and second virtual spectrum users; a virtual spectrum processor responsive to the real-time modeler processor to emulate a virtual RF environment in which the first and second virtual spectrum users operate wherein the selected interactivity parameters for the first virtual spectrum user controls the operation of the first virtual spectrum user and affects the performance of the second virtual spectrum user; a database of the first and second selectable interactivity parameters for the first and second virtual spectrum users in communication with the first and second contestants through the respective first and second web browsers; an evaluation processor for evaluating the performance of the first and second virtual spectrum in the virtual RF environment and assigning a score to the first and second virtual spectrum users as a function of the evaluation, wherein the evaluation of the performance of the first virtual spectrum user includes evaluating a message throughput of the first and second virtual spectrum users in the virtual RF environment. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
