  • Patent number: 8787401
    Abstract: A distributed antenna system comprises a base antenna system and coverage antenna systems. The base antenna system wirelessly receives a network pilot signal and transfers the network pilot signal to a first coverage antenna system and to a second coverage antenna system. The first coverage antenna system wirelessly transfers the network pilot signal and a first pseudo-pilot signal that is correlated to a first location. The second coverage antenna system wirelessly transfers the network pilot signal and a second pseudo-pilot signal that is correlated to a second location. In some examples, user devices translate the pseudo-pilot signals into their correlated locations.

  • Patent number: 7058861
    Abstract: A method for auditing and reconciliation of a network with a network model that includes identifying an audit state for each network resource included in the network model, storing the audit state for each resource, coupling the stored audit state information with information regarding the resource, reporting a calculated value reflecting the aggregate audit states of the resources, monitoring the calculated value, and triggering a reconciliation process when the calculated value drops below a defined threshold. The calculated value can be a best-case aggregate accuracy percentage, worst-case aggregate accuracy percentage, or presumed average aggregate accuracy percentage. The audit state can be stored as an additional field in the primary data store for the network model or in a separate data store that is associated with the primary data store. The audit state can be unconfirmed, confirmed, or suspect. The audit state is used to trigger and/or measure audit and reconciliation processes.
