Abstract

For a wireless network, a tuning system in which mobile phones using the network are routinely located. With the location of the mobile phones identified, load adjustments for the system are easily accomplished so that the wireless network is not subject to an overload situation. Ideally the location of the mobile phones is accomplished whether the mobile phones are transmitting voice data or not.

Claims

1. A system for tuning a wireless network, said system comprising:

at least two wireless communication devices, each said wireless communication device communicating via radio frequency electromagnetic signals;

a computer programmed to routinely,

identify performance data and a corresponding location for each said at least two wireless communication devices, and

store in a memory said performance data and said corresponding locations for each of said at least two wireless communication devices,

a radio tower in communication with said computer and with said at least two wireless communication devices, said radio tower adapted to generate an error code based upon operation of said radio tower; and

said computer further programmed to selectively suggest a corrective adjustment of said radio frequency electromagnetic signal emitted by said radio tower so as to restrict processing radio frequency electromagnetic signals from at least one of said at least two wireless communication devices based upon said error code.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein:

at least one of said at least two wireless communication devices transmits performance data; and

wherein said computer is further programmed to receive said performance data and to accordingly identify the location of each of said at least two wireless communication devices.
