Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for manually or automatically configuring radio frequency (RF) resources for a customer premises base station (CPBS). In an embodiment, the CPBS prompts a user for RF resource configuration parameter values, and the user inputs RF resource configuration parameter values, such as physical features of a customer's premises, to the CPBS. The CPBS then conveys RF resource configuration information to a wireless broadband communications system operator, wherein the RF resource configuration information is based on the RF resource configuration parameter values received from the user, and in response to conveying the received RF resource configuration information, the CPBS receives an RF resource allocation. Another embodiment provides for the CPBS to collect RF resource configuration parameter values associated with a customer's premises in an automated fashion that serve as a basis for an RF resource allocation adjustment by a system operator.
