Abstract
Various types of information from a wireless communications network, including E911 location information, Hand Off (HO) information, and Power information, as well as other Measurements and System Parameters, are collected and analyzed by a Data Collection and Filtering system, and the results of this analysis are provided to a Network Control system to dynamically control the operation of the wireless communications network. The various optimizations that can be performed by the Network Control system include: (1) dynamically allocating radio frequency (RF) signal power, (2) setting dynamic dedicated handoff (HO) thresholds for individual mobile transceivers; and (3) intelligently forming or steering radio frequency (RF) signal beams.
