Wireless modem alignment in a multicell environment

摘要

In addition to aligning a first unit for proper forward link communications in a wireless environment, there is a method of alignment where a reverse link signal is transmitted from the first unit to a second unit, so that the first unit may be positioned based on at least one signal quality parameter measure contained in a forward link signal reply to the reverse link signal. The method enables an installer to verify signal quality in both the forward link and reverse link directions by reviewing indications of received signal strength for both the reverse link and forward link directions on an LED display, so as to position the first unit for achieving acceptable signal strength in both directions.
