Patent number: 8391176Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are described for benchmarking the location determination capabilities of a wireless communications network. A mobile communications device is configured to receive data identifying a reference location for the device. A communications network, communicatively coupled with the mobile communications device, calculates a computed location for the device using an alternative location determination technique. The reference location and computed location may be determined for any number of additional devices, as well. The accuracy and reliability of a system may then be assessed by comparing one or more computed locations with associated reference locations. The latency attributable to the calculation of one or more computed locations may also be determined.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2010Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: TechnoCam CorporationInventors: Sekhar Kota, Todd Crick, Michael Dunn, Mario Proietti, Khaled Dessouky, Daniel A. Lambert, Ronald L. Poulin

Patent number: 8055254Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring the performance of a provider of communications service are described. A plurality of mobile communications devices measure average power received, signal to noise ratio, voice quality, blocked and dropped calls, or any combinations of such measurements. The device may also receive a set of data identifying the location of the device. The device may transmit one or more communications signals to a server computer system with such measurements and location data. The measurements and location data may be stored in a database, and new data may be created and transmitted illustrating a subset of the measurements and location data.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2010Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: John Donovan, Rene Link, Todd Crick
