Abstract: In the method for monitoring communication in a wireless communication network, a network explorer may be passively attached to the wireless communication network. The network explorer may store data associated with received communication over the wireless communication network and performs an analysis on the stored data. In the apparatus of the network explorer may passively monitor communication over a wireless communication network, store data associated with the communication, and perform an analysis on the stored data.

Abstract: A physiological parameter system has one or more parameter inputs responsive to one or more physiological sensors. The physiological parameter system may also have quality indicators relating to confidence in the parameter inputs. A processor is adapted to combine the parameter inputs, quality indicators and predetermined limits for the parameters inputs and quality indicators so as to generate alarm outputs or control outputs or both.

Abstract: A method of determining cells for deletion in a network design, in which the network is simulated to generate statistics for each cell of a given group of cells. The statistics of each cell are evaluated based on a given ranking criteria. Based on the evaluation, the cells of the grouped are ranked, with a highest ranked cell being deleted from the network design based on the ranking criteria. The method may enable the selecting of desired cells for deletion, either during site selection of a design for an initial network deployment, or for a network overlay and upgrade of an existing network, in an effort to reduce cell count while maintaining a desired cell coverage in the network.
