Patent number: 7877096Abstract: A computer-based program performs calculations to analyze, vary, test, manage, and/or improve the performance of channels and/or frequencies in the communication spectrum. The program varies parameters of a point of communication, such as the location, transmission power, channel frequency, antenna height, and the like, alone or in combination, to measure, test, and/or evaluate which parameter changes increase the market coverage of a target market or area. In some scenarios, changes to one point of communication cause the regulations governing the broadcast relationship between one or more nearby points of communication to be violated. When this occurs, the program determines which of the parameters, such as the location, transmission power, channel and/or frequency, antenna height, and the like, alone or in combination, of the point of communication interfering with the increased market coverage scenario to vary to overcome the conflict with communications and/or regulatory law.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Media Technology Ventures, LLCInventors: Ronald A. Unkefer, William Roland Hieatt, III, Harold A. Rose, Robert W. Denny, Jr.

In some scenarios, changes to one point of communication cause the regulations governing the broadcast relationship between one or more nearby points of communication to be violated. When this occurs, the program determines which of the parameters, such as the location, transmission power, channel and/or frequency, antenna height, and the like, alone or in combination, of the point of communication interfering with the increased market coverage scenario to vary to overcome the conflict with communications and/or regulatory law.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Media Technology Ventures, LLCInventors: Ronald A.
