Abstract

A system and method for a fixed wireless access terminal to determine and display to a user forward link and reverse link RSSI and BER signal quality information. The reverse link information is measured by a basestation and transmitted to the terminal in a message. The quality information is displayed to the user with sufficient resolution to allow the user to adjust the location of the fixed wireless access terminal to optimize the quality of the link. The reverse link information may also be used as a basis for performing transmit switch diversity.
