Abstract: A method and a system for service quality monitoring in a network includes radio interfaces. The measurements are end-to-end measurements between the end user and chosen network element. The measurements are implemented using monitoring stations which can monitor the traffic passively or actively by transmitting test signals. The antenna beam directions of the monitoring stations can be controlled. The performance server works as a counterpart of the active tests. A reporting suite may define the performed measurements and it also collects the measurement data from different monitoring stations. Monitoring data from several corporate intranets can also be collected to an external server through internet connection.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for positioning signal sources in a wireless network, e.g. in a WLAN or WiMAX network. The located signal source might be a end user, an interfering source or a base station. At least one monitoring station is placed in the network, which use directional antennas. By combining e.g. the direction of the used antenna beam, the received relative signal levels, propagation delay measurements and several different measurement locations for one or several monitoring stations, the location of the signal source can be determined accurately. The method can also track whether the end user is connected to the most optimal base station by transmitting test signals through base stations.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring and intelligently controlling parameters that affect the operation of the network connection in wireless networks. Using monitoring elements, measurement data about the network is collected and stored in a so-called history base. The data can be processed by analysis in order to generate a prediction model giving an approximation of the network operation in the future. On the basis of the prediction model the parameters that affect the operation of the network connection in a network device can be controlled so as to maintain or improve the service level provided by the network. The measurements and the changes are made as a continuous process, so that the system can learn from the earlier situations and parameters so as to approach the optimal situation in the service provided by the network.
