## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
Various embodiments described herein relate to communications generally, including apparatus, systems, and methods used to transmit and receive information via wireless networks.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Wireless communications systems, including packet-switched radio-frequency (RF) technologies, may be subject to various signal-degrading conditions associated with RF transmission and reception. Weak signals, electromagnetic interference, phase shifts, summation/cancellation of signals, and inter-channel/inter-cell interference may result in dropped calls, distorted audio, and slow data connections. The affected user, operating at the mercy of a poorly-responding system, may only be aware of the result, and not the condition(s) causing it.



BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an apparatus and a system according to various embodiments of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating several methods according to various embodiments of the invention.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an article according to various embodiments of the invention.



DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Various embodiments disclosed herein may be applied to improve awareness of service quality that may exist at different geographical points within a wireless communications system service area. In some embodiments, poor communication conditions may be improved via inter-system feedback.
Congestion, RF signal conditions, and other systemic factors may vary temporally and/or geographically within a system coverage area, and may greatly affect service quality. Some embodiments disclosed herein may collect these factors (e.g., in the form of data points), and organize them into a real-time, dynamically updated map that can inform users and the system itself of geographically-related signal conditions. Further, the acquired data may be used to make real-time system parametric adjustments, possibly improving system resource effectiveness.
For example, a wireless system may collect a signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) reported by each currently-active client, and respond by adjusting a base station transmit lobe pattern to increase the SNR for a group of mobile clients in a first area by sacrificing SNR in a second area where no clients are currently located. Collecting the data points, organizing them geographically and temporally, and acting upon the information so organized may comprise a closed-loop feedback system. This technique may result in improved control granularity over various systemic factors.
Thus, some embodiments may identify, categorize, and/or store one or more “geosystemic data points,” each of which may comprise a multi-dimensional parameter (e.g., a vector) associated with operating a wireless client (e.g., mobile device) within a wireless system. For example, a first dimension of the geosystemic data point vector may comprise a set of geolocation coordinates corresponding to the location of the wireless client. A second dimension may comprise a time of day, a signal parameter, and/or an on/off state of the wireless client. Any dimension of a geosystemic data point may be stored and/or transmitted separately from any other dimension of the same and/or a different geosystemic data point.
Some embodiments may reference multiple groups of geosystemic data points. For example, a first plurality of points may be sensed at a wireless client and/or transmitted to a base station for processing (e.g., a client may utilize an on-board global positioning system to acquire a set of geolocation coordinates representing the client's location for subsequent transmission to a base station). Alternatively, or in addition, a second plurality of points may be sensed at the base station. For example, one or more base stations may triangulate and acquire a client's location. Thus, referencing the acquired points (as opposed to direct acquisition) may comprise an additional method of determining geosystemic data points. The points may be sensed, acquired, transmitted, received, and/or processed by or between a client, multiple clients, a base station, and/or multiple base stations.
Some embodiments may operate to present one or more system coverage maps, created from a set of geosystemic data points, to mobile users and/or system operators. A system coverage map may indicate areas of variable service reliability by highlighting selected areas in a variety of colors and/or contrasts. In some embodiments, a coverage map may be static, reflecting a historical database of geosystemic data points. Alternatively, a map may be dynamically updated according to recent network activity. A coverage map may be referenced by a mobile user to select a desired area of operation, and/or by a system operator to control system operational characteristics.
In some embodiments, a wireless system may vary system operating characteristics according to the value of one or more geosystemic data point parameters, without user or operator intervention. Such capability may comprise a class of service. For example, a cellular telephone base station may adjust a phased-array antenna beam for better alignment with a client placing an emergency (“911”) call, responsive to information indicating the client is experiencing a low SNR.
FIG. 1 comprises a block diagram of an apparatus 100, a wireless client 150, and a system 180 according to various embodiments of the invention. The apparatus 100 may include one or more wireless base station(s) 106 to collect and/or process a plurality of geosystemic data points 100A and/or 110B, a database 114 coupled to the wireless base station(s) 106 to store the plurality of geosystemic data points 110A and/or 110B, and/or a first database structure 118 coupled to the wireless base station(s) 106 to associate a sector 124 of a grid 128 with the plurality of geosystemic data points 110A and/or 110B.
Some embodiments of the apparatus 100 may include a second database structure 132 coupled to the wireless base station(s) 106 to associate the sector 124 of the grid 128 with a corresponding sector 134 of a geophysical map 138, and/or a third database structure 142 coupled to the wireless base station(s) 106 to associate the sector 124 of the grid 128 with an area of system congestion, an area of poor throughput, and/or an area of unsuccessful call attempts, for example. In some embodiments, a fourth database structure 146 may be coupled to the wireless base station(s) 106 to associate the sector 124 of the grid 128 with an electromagnetic field strength. Other embodiments may be realized.
For example, a wireless client 150 may include a mobile device transceiver 156, a geosystemic data point generation module 162 coupled to the mobile device transceiver 156, and/or a human-responsive input-output device 168 coupled to the mobile device transceiver 156. The input-output device 168 may indicate an area 188 on a dynamic system coverage map 174 corresponding to one or more gradations of the received SNR, perhaps indicating multiple regions having desirable and undesirable locations for communicating information. Thus, the area 188 may correspond to gradations including: greater than about a maximum amount of SNR, between about a minimum amount of SNR and about the maximum amount of SNR, and/or less than about the minimum amount of SNR.
In some embodiments of the wireless client 150, the human-responsive input-output device 168 may comprise a display, a tactile device, and/or a speech-recognition device. Some embodiments of the wireless client 150 may include a circuit 178 coupled to the human-responsive input-output device 168 to enable panning and/or zooming. Additional embodiments may be realized.
A system 180 may, for example, include a map generation module 182 coupled to a processor 184 to generate a dynamic system coverage map 174. The system 180 may include a display 186 coupled to the processor 184 to display at least one area 188 of the dynamic system coverage map 174. As noted previously, the displayed area 188 may correspond to a received SNR greater than about a maximum amount, between about a minimum amount and about the maximum amount, and/or less than about the minimum amount.
In some embodiments of the system 180, a plurality of wireless clients 192 may be communicatively coupled to one or more wireless base station(s) 106 to transmit a first plurality of geosystemic data points 110A. In some embodiments of the system 180, the wireless base station(s) 106 may be coupled to the processor 184 to acquire a second plurality of geosystemic data points 110B.
In some embodiments, a geosystemic data point 185 selected from the first plurality of geosystemic data points 110A and/or the second plurality of geosystemic data points 110B may comprise a position 187 of the wireless client 150 on the grid 128, and/or at least one parameter 189. The parameter 189 may include a time of logging the geosystemic data point 185, an on/off state of the wireless client, and/or a parameter associated with call completion, including a number of completed calls, a number of system busy call attempts, and/or a number of dropped calls. The parameter 189 may also include a parameter associated with a first plurality of RF signals 194 originating at the wireless client 150, and/or a second plurality of RF signals 196 originating at the wireless base station 106, including a signal strength, an electromagnetic interference level, an SNR, a frequency, a type of modulation, and/or a phase shift.
Some embodiments of the system 180 may include a geographical map 138 to overlay a grid 128 of two-dimensional sectors. The system 180 may include a database 114 to associate at least one sector 124 selected from the grid 128 of two-dimensional sectors with at least one geosystemic data point 185 selected from the first plurality of geosystemic data points 110A and/or the second plurality of geosystemic data points 110B.
Some embodiments of the system 180 may include a system adjustment module 195 to adjust a system parameter responsive to an acquired parameter 189. For example, an antenna 197 may be coupled to the base station 106 to adjust a transmit envelope 198 responsive to the parameter 189. A transmit envelope 198 so adjusted may resemble, for example, envelope 199. The antenna 197 of some embodiments of the system 180 may include a phased-array antenna, among others.

Some embodiments include a number of methods.
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating several methods 211 according to various embodiments of the invention. For example, a method 211 may (optionally) begin at block 221 with time-stamping the acquisition of a first geosystemic data point, and continue with logging the point into the memory of a wireless client at block 231. The method 211 may include selecting a first plurality of geosystemic data points to be acquired by the wireless client at block 233, and/or receiving the first plurality of geosystemic data points at a wireless base station at block 235.
A first geosystemic data point selected from the first plurality of geosystemic data points may comprise a first position of the wireless client on a grid, and/or a first parameter. The first parameter may include an “on” and/or “off” state of the wireless client, a first time of logging the first geosystemic data point, a first completion parameter associated with call completion, and/or a first signal parameter associated with a first plurality of signals received at the wireless client and/or a second plurality of signals transmitted from the wireless client.
The first completion parameter may include a first number of completed calls, a first number of system busy call attempts, and/or a first number of dropped calls. The first signal parameter may include a signal strength, an electromagnetic interference level, an SNR, a frequency, a type of modulation, and/or a phase shift.
The method 211 may continue with acquiring a second plurality of geosystemic data points at the wireless base station at block 241. A second geosystemic data point selected from the second plurality of points may comprise a second position of the wireless client on a grid, and/or a second parameter. The second parameter associated with the second geosystemic data point may comprise a second time of logging the second geosystemic data point, a second completion parameter associated with call completion, and/or a second signal parameter associated with a first plurality of signals received at the wireless base station and/or a second plurality of signals transmitted from the wireless base station.
The second completion parameter may include a second number of completed calls, a second number of system busy call attempts, and/or a second number of dropped calls. The second signal parameter associated with the second geosystemic data point may include a signal strength, an electromagnetic interference level, an SNR, a frequency, a type of modulation, and/or a phase shift, among others.
The method 211 may include transmitting the first geosystemic data point and/or the second geosystemic data point at a delayed time, such as a time following a period of loss of communications with the wireless base station at block 245. The method 211 may also include generating a dynamic system coverage map according to a first plurality of geosystemic data points and/or a second plurality of geosystemic data points at block 249, and/or providing the map to a plurality of wireless clients at block 253.
The method 211 may continue with displaying on a display in a first color first areas of the dynamic system coverage map corresponding to a received SNR greater than about a maximum amount at block 257. The method 211 at block 257 may include displaying on the display in a second color second areas of the dynamic system coverage map corresponding to a received SNR between about a minimum amount and about the maximum amount. The method 211 may also include displaying on the display in a third color third areas of the dynamic system coverage map corresponding to a received SNR of less than about the minimum amount, and/or displaying on the display in a contrasting pattern fourth areas of the dynamic system coverage map corresponding to system congestion, poor throughput, and/or unsuccessful call attempts at block 257. The method 211 may further include displaying a geographical position of the wireless client relative to the dynamic system coverage map as a graphical indication on the display at block 261.
In some embodiments, the method 211 may operate to compare a set of geosystemic data points comprising a first plurality and a second plurality with a set of preferred geosystemic data points at block 265, and/or to adjust one or more system parameters in response, at block 269. For example, the method 211 may compare the dynamic system coverage map to a preferred system coverage map comprising a set of theoretical geosystemic data points at block 271. The set of theoretical geosystemic data points may include a set of position coordinates corresponding to a set of currently-active subscribers to a premium level of service, and their respective, recently-acquired SNRs.
The method 211 may also operate to assign a weighted value to one or more parameters associated with at least one member of the set of theoretical geosystemic data points to provide a class-of-service according to a selected SNR at block 273. A recently-acquired SNR value associated with a relatively higher-tier subscriber may, for example, be adjusted downward for inclusion in the set of theoretical geosystemic data points by an amount greater than an adjustment associated with a relatively lower-tier subscriber. As a consequence, a subsequent system normalization operation based upon SNR may adjust a system parameter to favor the higher-tier subscriber.
At block 275, the method 211 may further operate to adjust a system coverage transmit envelope according to a correlation operation. The correlation operation may be performed on a set of geosystemic data points comprising a first plurality and/or a second plurality, and on the set of theoretical geosystemic data points corresponding to the preferred system coverage map. Following a correlation operation to apportion system resources (e.g., adjusting base station power/bandwidth products to equalize subscriber SNRs), tiered subscribers may experience SNRs proportional to their class-of-service. For example, a transmit envelope may be adjusted according to the method 211 by tuning a phased-array antenna at block 279, to adjust a base station power/bandwidth product.
The method 211 may (optionally) terminate by identifying a malfunctioning wireless base station at block 285 and/or selecting an area of operation of the wireless client at block 293. A wireless system may, for example, command an unmanned spacecraft or self-propelled ocean buoy to move from an area of relatively lower SNR to an area of relatively higher SNR.

Several of the methods may be executed solely by an apparatus 100, a wireless client 150, a base station 106, or a system 180, as well as by any combination of these.
