Abstract: The software of the present invention predicts the performance of a wireless location system, including its accuracy, availability, and coverage. The tool can determine if the deployed location sensors meet, exceed, or fall short of providing the expected coverage and performance. The tool allows the location system designer to eliminate redundancies if not all sensors are needed and propose additional sites where coverage holes are present. The software tool includes a graphical user interface for ease of use.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is a method and system for calibrating a wireless network including a Mobile Switching Center (MSC), and a Position Determination Device (PDD). The wireless network is capable of determining the position of a handset. The method includes receiving a trigger from the MSC; sending a position request message to the PDD in response to the received trigger; receiving a position request response message from the PDD; continuously sending subsequent position request messages to the PDD in response to the same received trigger, until a termination command is received; terminating the sending subsequent position request messages, when the termination command is received; and generating output data including network calibration parameters.
