  • Patent number: 8687494
    Abstract: Provided are system and method for performing access screening in a CDMA network. In one embodiment, the method comprises comparing a strength of a reference pilot specified in an origination message (“ORM”) received from the mobile unit to at least one of an upper pilot strength threshold (“UPST”) and a lower pilot strength threshold (“LPST”); responsive to the reference pilot strength failing to exceed the LPST, redirecting the mobile unit; responsive to the reference pilot strength exceeding the LPST but failing to exceed the UPST, determining whether an additional pilot is reported having a strength greater than that of the reference pilot; and responsive to a determination that no additional pilot is reported having a strength greater than that of the reference pilot, redirecting the mobile unit.

  • Patent number: 6519452
    Abstract: A system and method for a simultaneous examination of synchronized forward and reverse link data of a telecommunication network is provided. An RF optimizer system first gathers inputs from both the forward link data as saved by a mobile diagnostic unit (MDU) and the reverse link data as provided by a mobile telephone exchange (MTE), and then merges and synchronizes these two distinct and individual data sets. Various parametric data can be viewed simultaneously from different perspectives (map, grid, graph, message views) with each individual perspective to be synchronized with all others.
