Patent ID: 7313403

Claim:
A system comprising: a database containing antenna gain differences between multiple antenna patterns of a wireless network access node; calculation logic for determining receive signal strength differences of a signal, said signal received using said multiple antenna patterns, said signal being transmitted by a device disposed within one or more of said multiple antenna patterns; comparison logic for comparing said receive signal strength differences to said antenna gain differences and identifying a closest match a database containing predicted receive signal strength information for said multiple antenna patterns of said wireless network access node; measurement logic for measuring receive signal strengths of a signal received from said device using said multiple antenna patterns; and comparison logic for comparing said measured receive signal strengths to said predicted receive signal strength information and identifying a closest match, wherein said database containing predicted receive signal strength information further contains predicted receive signal strength information for multiple antenna patterns of a second wireless network access node, said measurement logic is further for measuring receive signal strengths of a signal received from said device using said multiple antenna patterns of said second wireless network access node, and said comparison logic is further for comparing said measured receive signal strengths of said second wireless network access node to said predicted receive signal strength information of said second wireless network access node and identifying a closest match.
