1. A system including:
- at least one radio-frequency transceiver and an associated at least one antenna to which the radio-frequency transceiver is coupled, wherein the at least one radio-frequency transceiver configured for radio-frequency communication with at least one mobile wireless communication device;
a first computer coupled to the at least one radio-frequency transceiver programmed to locate the at least one mobile wireless device and generate an indication of a location of the at least one mobile wireless device, wherein the first computer further receives and stores performance data of connections between the at least one mobile wireless device and the radio-frequency transceiver along with the indication of location, wherein the first computer references the performance data to expected performance data, and wherein the first computer determines at least one suggested corrective action in conformity with differences between the performance data and expected performance data in conjunction with the indication of location, wherein the first computer routinely stores updated performance data and an updated indication of location of the at least one mobile wireless device while the mobile wireless device is communicating with the at least one radio-frequency transceiver; and
a second computer coupled in communication with the first computer, wherein the first computer, responsive to a communication from the at least one mobile wireless communication device, sets a no access flag within a memory of the first computer, and wherein the first computer provides access to the indication of location to the second computer if the no access flag is reset and denies access to the indication of location to the second computer if the no access flag is set.

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.

4. A method of managing a wireless radio-frequency (RF) network, the method comprising:
-
coupling in communication, at least one radio-frequency transceiver and an associated at least one antenna to which the radio-frequency transceiver is coupled to at least one mobile wireless communication device; at a first computer coupled to the at least one radio-frequency transceiver, locating the at least one mobile wireless device according to the radio-frequency communications and generating an indication of a location of the at least one mobile wireless device; at the first computer, receiving and storing performance data of connections between the at least one mobile wireless device and the radio-frequency transceiver along with the indication of location; at the first computer storing updated performance data and an updated indication of location of the at least one mobile wireless device while the mobile wireless device is communicating with the at least one radio-frequency transceiver; referencing the performance data to expected performance data; determining at least one suggested corrective action in conformity with differences between the performance data and expected performance data in conjunction with the indication of location; coupling a second computer in communication with the first computer; at the first computer, responsive to a communication from the at least one mobile wireless communication device, setting a no access flag within a memory of the first computer; providing access from the first computer to the indication of location to the second computer if the no access flag is reset; and the first computer denying access to the indication of location to the second computer if the no access flag is set. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
