Abstract
A method and apparatus for understanding information relating to communication system performance, including the dynamic nature of the system is provided. Elements of the system are represented (102, 110) as various shapes (30, 32, 40) defined by an number of different parameters on a display device (24). The shapes are characterized by a number of defining parameters and these defining parameters have an association with performance characteristics or performance parameters of the system element. As performance parameter data changes with time, e.g., during system operation, the defining parameters are altered such that the shape representing the system element is modified (106, 114). In this manner a large number of system elements and associated performance characteristics and the time varying nature thereof can be readily displayed to aid the system operator.
