SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING RELOCATION OF A FIXED WIRELESS ACCESS DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18296369 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING RELOCATION OF A FIXED WIRELESS ACCESS DEVICE
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a network management system that can detect changes in signal strength received by a fixed wireless access device from different base stations to determine the device's location.
- The system monitors signal strength from two base stations to track the device's movement.
- It can identify when the device has been relocated based on signal strength changes.
- The first signal strength increases by a certain value, while the second signal strength decreases by another value, indicating a change in location.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Monitoring signal strength from multiple base stations.
- Detecting changes in signal strength to determine device location.
- Relocating the device based on signal strength variations.
Potential Applications:
This technology can be used in:
- Asset tracking systems.
- Location-based services.
- Network optimization tools.
Problems Solved:
- Efficiently tracking the movement of fixed wireless access devices.

Original Abstract Submitted
A network management system may determine a first change in a first signal strength associated with first signals received by a fixed wireless access device located a first location. The first signals are received by the fixed wireless access device from a first base station. The network management system may determine a second change in a second signal strength associated with second signals received by the fixed wireless access device. The second signals are received by the fixed wireless access device from a second base station. The network management system may determine that the fixed wireless access device has been relocated to a second location based on the first signal strength increasing by at least a first attenuation value and the second signal strength decreasing by at least a second attenuation value.
