Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a method for establishing a wireless communication session between a base station unit and a mobile unit wherein a system controller determines which base station unit of multiple base station units is an optimal base station unit to establish the session. The method includes the system controller receiving commands from each of multiple BSUs that have received a request for wireless service from a mobile unit. The commands include information, such as a unique identifier for the sending BSU, signal strength information for the sending BSU, and channel availability for the sending BSU. The system controller directs the optimal BSU to respond to the request, and directs every other BSU to ignore the request. In at least one embodiment, Bluetooth commands are used.

Abstract: Various aspects of a method and system for indicating the link quality between wireless base station units are presented. The establishment of a wireless network involves the placement of and communication between several base station units. To facilitate the operational capability of such a wireless network, a method for continuously displaying the quality of the links between these base station units is introduced. The method provides each base station with the information necessary to individually display the quality of the links between itself and its neighboring base stations. The displays can take on a variety of formats. Additionally, link quality of neighboring base stations can be collected by a central controller which can process the information and create a grid showing the link quality throughout the wireless network.

Abstract: A wide band noise extrapolation test system, which may reside within a processor-controlled test head installed in a central office, or as part of test signal generation and processing circuitry of a craftsperson's test set, processes data derived from applying single ended stimuli to a plurality of wirelines. The processing mechanism accurately and reliably identifies the locations and amplitudes of remote noise sources for each of the wirelines, by determining attenuation along and the lengths of the wirelines, and then modifying values of noise measurements in accordance with the determined attenuation and length values, so as to extrapolate the amplitudes of the noise at their identified source locations.

Abstract: A test matrix switch-associated mechanism conducts an interactive communication session with the butt set of an incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) technician, to verify the intended connectivity of a digital subscriber line pair through the switch to customer premises equipment subscribing to digital service from a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC). Connectivity through the switch is controlled by way of a supervisory control processor that may be downloaded with communication and test control software from a remote test unit, in association with one or more CLECs that are served by the ILEC's central office equipment. Once loaded with this control software, including a routine for executing the connectivity verification mechanism of the invention, the switch's control processor sources digitally synthesized test signals for application to a line under test, and conducts a digitally-based analysis of replies to such signals as supplied by a craftsperson's butt set.
