Radio Communication Systems with Integrated Location-Based Measurements for Diagnostics and Performance Optimization

摘要

A radio communication system 10 includes at least one receive antenna 20 for receiving communication signals, processing circuitry 24a for processing the received communication signals and repeating the signals for further transmission, and at least one transmit antenna 22 for transmitting the repeated signals. The processing circuitry 24a is operable for receiving an input regarding the current geographic location of the communication system. The processing circuitry 24a is further capable of recording measurements and data regarding the operation and use of the radio communication system 10 and its operating environment including where and when the measurements and data were taken. The processing circuitry further provides a user interface 28 and capabilities to analyze and visualize the recorded information to diagnose problems and optimize performance.
