Assignee:

Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04L 12/26

US Classification:

370252

Abstract:

Appl. No.:

11/066111

Inventors:

Lawrence Drabeck - Oceanport NJ, US
Michael Flanagan - Chester NJ, US

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

455456500, 455456100

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method for locating mobile units in a wireless telecommunication network. The method includes determining at least one distance associated with a mobile unit in communication with at least one base station in a wireless telecommunications network, determining a first location based on said at least one distance, and selecting a plurality of second locations based on the first location. The method also includes determining a plurality of likelihoods that the mobile unit is at each of the plurality of second locations.

International Classification:

H04Q 7/00

US Classification:

370331000

Abstract:

The technique for analyzing a live wireless network () includes repeatedly alternating () between a baseline network configuration () and a trial network configuration () a plurality of times within a twenty-four hour period. A disclosed example includes repeatedly alternating between the baseline network configuration and the trial network configuration such that each network configuration is used for a sample period that lasts about one hour. In one example, the pattern of alternating between the trial and baseline network configurations is determined randomly while in another example each network configuration is used in a preselected pattern such as every other hour.
