Patent ID: 8010101

Claim:
A system for diagnosing RF attributes of signals communicated over a communication footprint of a wireless network, said system comprising: a plurality of antennas fixedly positioned throughout a communications footprint, said antennas configured to receive signals for diagnosing RF attributes within the communications footprint of the wireless network; at least one receiver fixedly positioned in the wireless network in communication with said antennas configured to receive the signals from at least one base station via said antennas; a computer system in communication with said at least one receiver, said computing system configured to receive RF attribute data indicative of signals received at respective antennas and measured by said at least one receiver; a data repository in communication with said computing system and configured to store data associated with each of said antennas and representative of RF attributes of the signals received by respective antennas, wherein said data repository is further configured to store coordinates of said fixed antennas; and wherein said computing system is further configured to provide other telecommunication carriers access to the RF attribute data stored in the data repository, enabling the other telecommunication carriers to tune their telecommunications system based on the accessed RF attribute data.
