Abstract

A broadband wireless communication system configures a wireless control system that is located in a geographic region with a custom parameter file that is customized for the geographic region. The broadband wireless communication system transfers a control message from the wireless control system to a user system based on the custom configuration. The broadband wireless communication system receives a wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signal from the user system, wherein the user system generates packets of voice information, converts the packets of voice information into the wireless RF signal, and transmits the wireless RF signal based on the control message. The broadband wireless communication system processes the wireless RF signal to recover the packets of voice information and transfers the packets of voice information to an internet.

Claims (27)

1. A method of operating a broadband wireless communication system, the method comprising:

configuring a wireless control system that is located in a geographic region with a custom parameter file that is customized for the geographic region;

transferring a control message from the wireless control system to a user system based on the custom configuration;

receiving a wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signal from the user system, wherein the user system generates packets of voice information, converts the packets of voice information into the wireless RF signal, and transmits the wireless RF signal based on the control message; and

processing the wireless RF signal to recover the packets of voice information and transferring the packets of voice information to an internet.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the custom parameter file indicates a city.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the custom parameter file indicates a state.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the custom parameter file indicates a frequency.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising generating performance information for the broadband wireless system and providing the performance information to the user system over an internet.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the performance information indicates throughput.

7. The method of claim 5 wherein the performance information indicates a number of transmission units.

8. The method of claim 5 wherein the performance information indicates a signal-to-noise ratio.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising allowing the user system to remotely control which spectrum is analyzed by a spectrum analyzer.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the wireless RF signal comprises a Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS) signal.

11. A broadband wireless communication system comprising:

a wireless control system that is located in a geographic region and that is configured with a custom parameter file that is customized for the geographic region, wherein the wireless control system is configured to transfer a control message to a user system based on the custom configuration;

an antenna configured to receive a wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signal from the user system, wherein the user system generates packets of voice information, converts the packets of voice information into the wireless RF signal, and transmits the wireless RF signal based on the control message; and

a head end configured to process the wireless RF signal to recover the packets of voice information and transfer the packets of voice information to an internet.

12. The broadband wireless communication system of claim 11 wherein the custom parameter file indicates a city.

13. The broadband wireless communication system of claim 11 wherein the custom parameter file indicates a state.

14. The broadband wireless communication system of claim 11 wherein the custom parameter file indicates a frequency.

15. The broadband wireless communication system of claim 11 wherein the head end is configured to generate performance information for the broadband wireless system and provide the performance information to the user system over an internet.

16. The broadband wireless communication system of claim 15 wherein the performance information indicates throughput.

17. The broadband wireless communication system of claim 15 wherein the performance information indicates a number of transmission units.

18. The broadband wireless communication system of claim 15 wherein the performance information indicates a signal-to-noise ratio.

19. The broadband wireless communication system of claim 11 further comprising a spectrum analyzer that is configured to allow the user system to remotely control which spectrum is analyzed by the spectrum analyzer.

20. The broadband wireless communication system of claim 11 wherein the wireless RF signal comprises a Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service (MMDS) signal.
