20090029651 | Method and Procedures for Automatic Calibration of a Wireless Communications System Simulation - Performance optimization of mobile wireless communication networks is complex and typically requires extensive offline modeling and simulation prior to deploying changes that may have unforeseen adverse effects on the live customer network. It is necessary to calibrate the simulation model against the actual network at a level of fidelity such that the engineer is confident that the simulation's response to network changes accurately reflects the results that would be experienced if those changes were deployed in an actual live network. This process is typically quite time consuming and requires significant case-by-case insight into the workings of the actual network as well as the simulation model. We have invented a method of automatic calibration in which the simulation adapts itself to more closely resemble the actual network. For a given network architecture and a probabilistic customer usage profile a simulation provides an estimate of key performance metrics. These simulated metrics are compared against actual measurements from the network. To the extent that they do not match within a prescribed tolerance, an iterative adaptive calibration procedure is used to perturb slightly the probabilistic model of network usage. | 2009-01-29 |

When signal quality is poor, more power is used to receive the signal to maintain device functionality. When signal quality is strong, less power can be used while still maintaining device performance. This preserves device functionality while allowing the device to conserve power when possible. | 2009-01-29 |
