Statistical weighting and adjustment of state variables in a radio

摘要

A method involving receiving a real time communication signal at a radio receiver involves measuring at least one performance value associated with the radio receiver with an installed set of state variables; at a processor forming a part of the radio receiver: iteratively changing at least one of the state variables within a prescribed range in order to identify an improved value of the state variable that provides an improvement to the at least one performance value; storing the improved value of the state variable; applying a statistical weighting to the improved value and storing the statistical weighting; and adjusting the prescribed range of the state variable based upon the statistical weighting to provide a revised prescribed range that is statistically likely to contain state variable that provides improvement in the at least one performance value. This abstract is not to be considered limiting.

1. A method, comprising:
powering up a radio having a processor; on powering up the radio, the processor retrieving and installing an initial set of state variables having a highest statistical probability of providing best performance according to stored statistical weighting of the state variables; receiving a real time communication signal at a radio receiver; measuring at least one performance value associated with the radio receiver with an installed set of state variables;at the processor:
iteratively changing at least one of the state variables within a prescribed range in order to identify an improved value of the at least one state variable that provides an improvement to the at least one performance value; storing the improved value of the at least one state variable; applying a statistical weighting to the improved value and storing the statistical weighting; adjusting the prescribed range of the at least one state variable based upon the statistical weighting to provide a revised prescribed range that is statistically likely to contain at least one state variable that provides improvement in the at least one performance value; and storing environment data that characterizes the radio environment along with the improved value of the at least one state variable; the radio sending the improved value and the environment data to a base station; and at the base station pushing the improved value of the at least one state variable to a different radio receiver that is within the environment of the radio.
