Automated installed environment antenna characteristics determination

Abstract:

A network device obtains data associated with transmissions received at one or more receive antennas from multiple transmit antennas located at different locations. The network device solves, based on the data and using an antenna transmission model, for unknown variables associated with the one or more receive antennas or the multiple transmit antennas to produce solution results that include solved parameters corresponding to the unknown variables. The network device modifies antenna profiles associated with the one or more receive antennas, in an antenna profile database, based on the solution results. The network device uses the modified antenna profiles to estimate a location of one or more of the multiple transmit antennas.
