Abstract: A method for designing a wireless network generally involves identifying a site location as a candidate for a base-station installation, generating an analysis of the identified site location characterizing suitability for the base-station installation, and generating a decision to install a base-station at the identified site location based on the generated analysis.

Abstract: Evaluating a radio frequency for user in a selected cell-area in a wireless network that is or will be served by a base-station operating at the radio frequency involves identifying user equipment within the selected cell-area that are or can be served by the base-station, identifying potentially interfering devices operating at the same radio frequency as the base-station, and estimating an interference impact from the identified potentially interfering devices to communication between the base-station and the identified user equipment.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a multi-carrier communication system that detects and reduces an echo from a non-linear element present on the transmission medium. In an embodiment, a training period is established between a first transmitter-receiver device and a second transmitter-receiver device in the discrete multiple tone system that separates communication signals into two or more separate frequency bands. Noise caused by an echo generated by a non-linear element present on the transmission medium is detected during the training period. The significance of the non-linear echo contribution to the overall ambient noise level present in the system may be determined.
