Abstract

Claims (42)

1. A wireless network comprising:

a) at least two wireless devices, each said wireless device communicating via radio frequency signals;

b) a first computer programmed to perform the steps of:

1) locating at least one said wireless device on said wireless network and referencing performance of said at least one wireless device with wireless network known parameters,

2) routinely storing performance data and a corresponding location for said at least one wireless device in a memory;

c) a radio tower adapted to receive radio frequency signals from, and transmit radio frequency signals to said at least one wireless device; wherein said first computer further includes means for receiving said performance data and suggest corrective actions obtained from a list of possible causes for said radio tower based upon the performance data and the corresponding location associated with said at least one wireless device;

d) wherein said radio tower generates an error code based upon operation of said at least one wireless device; and

e) wherein said first computer is further programmed to,

1) receive said error code from said radio tower, and,

2) selectively suggest a corrective action of said radio frequency signals of said radio tower in order to restrict processing of radio frequency signals from at least one of said at least two wireless devices based upon said error code, and, whereby said first computer suggests said corrective action in order to improve communication with at least one said wireless device.

2. The wireless network, according to claim 1 ,

a) further including a second radio tower; and

b) wherein said first computer is programmed, based upon said error code, to suggest a corrective adjustment of said radio frequency signals of said second radio tower in order to direct process signals from at least one of said at least two wireless devices based upon said error code, and,

whereby said first computer suggests a corrective action of said radio frequency signals of said radio tower and said second radio tower in order improve communication with one or more said wireless devices based on said error code.

3. The wireless network according to claim 2 , wherein said first computer is further programmed to perform a diagnostic routine on said error code, on said radio tower, on said second radio tower, and generate a diagnostic analysis for adjusting a radio frequency signal power parameters associated with said radio tower and with said second radio tower.

4. The wireless network according to claim 3 , wherein said first computer is further programmed to adjust radio frequency signal power parameters of said radio tower and said second radio tower in response to said diagnostic analysis.

5. The wireless network according to claim 4 , wherein the radio frequency signal power parameters of said radio tower and said second radio tower comprise power reception and power transmission of said radio tower and said second radio tower.

6. The wireless network according to claim 3 , wherein said first computer is programmed to transmit radio frequency signal power parameter data and said diagnostic analysis to a user of a second computer.

7. The wireless network according to claim 1 , wherein said first computer is further programmed to:

a) receive performance data from each of said at least two wireless devices;

b) identify a location for each of at least two said wireless devices and said associated performance data;

c) perform said diagnostic routine, in response to said location and said associated performance data;

d) generate a message identifying said location and said associated performance data; and

e) suggest correction for adjusting a said radio tower signal power parameter.

8. The wireless network according to claim 3 wherein, in response to said diagnostic routine, said first computer is further programmed to adjust said radio frequency power parameters of said radio tower and of said second radio tower, said power parameters including power reception and power transmission of said respective radio tower.

9. The wireless network according to claim 1 ,

a) further comprising a second computer, said second computer programmed to generate a status request;

b) wherein said first computer is further programmed to send said location of and said performance data for said at least two wireless devices in response to said status request.

10. The wireless network according to claim 9 , wherein said first computer is programmed to identify said second computer and generate an authorization indicia therefrom.

11. The wireless network according to claim 9 ,

a) wherein a user of one of said at least two wireless devices is able to set a no access flag within said first computer; and

b) wherein said first computer is further programmed to deny said status request from said second computer if said access flag has not been set.

12. A machine and process for tuning a wireless network, comprising:

a) at least two wireless devices, each said wireless device communicating via radio frequency signals;

b) a first computer programmed to:

1) routinely identify performance data and a corresponding location for each of said at least two wireless devices;

2) routinely store said performance data and said corresponding location for each of said at least two wireless devices in a memory;

c) a radio tower adapted to receive said radio frequency signals from and transmit radio frequency signals to said at least two said wireless devices;

d) further including a second computer generating a status request;

e) wherein a user of one of said at least two wireless devices is able to set a no access flag within the memory of said first computer; and

f) wherein said first computer is programmed to deny the status request from said second computer if said no access flag is set;

wherein said first computer further includes means for receiving said performance data and corresponding locations from said radio tower and correcting radio frequency signals of said radio tower, and, whereby said first computer corrects the radio frequency signals of the radio tower in order to improve communication with said wireless devices.
