  • Method for determining deployment parameters of customer premises equipment
    Patent number: 11172375
    Abstract: A method and system for determining deployment parameters of a set of customer premises equipment (CPE) in a housing environment. A housing database (2) and a simulation database (3) connected to a processor (4) are present, the housing database (2) storing housing information, and the simulation database (3) storing simulation data with Wi-Fi performance parameters for a subset of housing types. The processor (4) clusters the stored housing information based on the Wi-Fi performance parameters, associates each of the clustered housing parameter sets with one of the subset of housing types, and for a specific one of the housing types determines deployment parameters based on data obtained from the simulation database (3). The matching of a specific housing environment with one of the subset of housing types allows to quickly and efficiently optimize deployment parameters, such as number, type and placement of CPE.
