System and method for the calibration and verification of wireless networks with control network

Abstract

In a system and method computerized devices are connected to each other over a wireless network and to a controller over an additional network. The devices perform antenna beam angle testing of the wireless network. The controller receives, over the additional network, transmitted and received test signal data acquired during such testing. Based on the test signal data, the controller calculates calibration data, which indicates, for each pair of devices, different path loss amounts associated with different transmitted test signal beam angles and a single transmitted test signal power level. The controller generates calibration matrices corresponding to each pair of devices using the calibration data; analyzes the matrices to determine, for each pair, an optimal antenna beam angle that results in the least amount of path loss; determines an optimal power level for the pair based on the path loss; and communicates the optimal specifications to the pair.
