Methods and systems for assigning a wireless communication device (WCD) to a wireless coverage are a based on early termination gain (ETG) are presented. In particular, a RAN may receive a request, from a WCD, for an assignment to one of a plurality of wireless coverage areas. In response to receiving the request, the RAN may select a wireless coverage area of the plurality that has a highest ETG, and assign the WCD to the selected wireless coverage area. Prior to selecting this wireless coverage area, the RAN may optionally remove one or more wireless coverage areas with high utilization from consideration.

The present invention provides methods and systems to determine whether to upgrade the infrastructure of a wireless communication network. The invention is directed to generating an alert signal indicating that an additional data line between a packet-switched network and the wireless communications network should be installed. The alert signal may indicate that an additional data line should be installed. Alternatively, the alert signal may enter an automated order for the installation of an additional data line.

System and method for generating an alert signal when an additional data line between a packet-switched network and a wireless communications network should be installed

A wireless communication system for monitoring a communication service comprises a first set of communication devices located in a first set of geographic areas configured to receive the communication service and determine first performance data. A communication network is configured to determine first network data for the communication service. A service monitoring system is configured to process the first performance data and the first network data to generate a communication service model. A second set of communication devices located in a second set of geographic areas is configured to receive the communication service and determine second performance data. The communication network is configured to determine second network data. The service monitoring system is configured to process the second network data with the communication service model to generate model performance data, and compare the model performance data to the second performance data to validate the communication service model.

Predicting user experience on a communication network

A method for reducing a delay in a wireless communications system resulting from a handoff while mitigating a risk of premature termination of wireless communications, the method includes comparing data indicative of actual use of the wireless communications systems to at least one predetermined criteria. If the comparing determines a sector pairing in the wireless communications system to be statistically significant for purposes of recommending at least one search window setting, at least one value related with a distance associated with the sector pairing may be used to automatically determine a corresponding signal delay. If the corresponding signal delay exceeds a prior determined signal delay, a recommended search window setting may be determined using the corresponding signal delay.

Wireless communications handoff method and system employing such

The present invention provides methods and systems to determine whether to upgrade the infrastructure of a wireless communication network. The invention is directed to generating an alert signal indicating that an additional sector-carrier should be installed in a wireless coverage area, or that a sector-carrier in the wireless coverage area should be optimized.
