A wireless communication system automatically adjusts its organisation parameters using a characterization of signal propagation in the system's coverage area. This characterization involves measuring path loss-related characteristics by the system's base stations and wireless terminals. The path loss-related characteristic may be the wireless terminals' received signal strengths (RSS), based on signals transmitted at known powers by a plurality of the system's base stations. It is possible for the wireless terminals to take measurements while operating in the coverage area, whether idle or during communication with the system, and for such terminals to be associated with the system's subscribers. A resulting characterization of signal propagation, based upon the measured path loss-related characteristic, can then be used to determine parameter settings such as base station transmission power settings, wireless terminal access parameters, neighbour lists, sets of base stations that can reuse channels and base station transmission power settings when base stations are added to or removed from the system. |
