Abstract
Abstract In a radio frequency communication system (100), infrastructure transceivers operate in a configuration mode (301-306) and an active mode (307). When in the configuration mode, a given infrastructure transceiver (106-109) derives information regarding RF operating circumstances proximal to the infrastructure transceiver. The information regarding the RF operating circumstances, information regarding the infrastructure transceiver itself, and optionally information regarding present location of the infrastructure transceiver, is transmitted to a communication system configuration server (105). In response, information regarding operation of the infrastructure transceiver is received by the infrastructure transceiver. When in the given infrastructure transceiver is in the active mode, the information regarding operation of the infrastructure transceiver is used to support communications in the RF communication system. With each infrastructure transceiver operating in this manner, the radio frequency communication system can be automatically configured.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A method of adding an infrastructure transceiver to a radio frequency communication system comprising the steps of: at the infrastructure transceiver: transmitting information regarding the infrastructure transceiver and at least some information regarding present location of the infrastructure transceiver; at a communication system configuration server: receiving at least some of the information regarding the infrastructure transceiver and the present location of the infrastructure transceiver; using previously stored information regarding the radio frequency communication system and at least some of the information regarding the infrastructure transceiver and the present location of the infrastructure transceiver to determine configuration information; transmitting to the infrastructure transceiver the configuration information; at the infrastructure transceiver: receiving the configuration information; and using the configuration information to support communications in the radio frequency communication system.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
127 words
A method of adding an infrastructure transceiver to a radio frequency communication system comprising the steps of: at the infrastructure transceiver: transmitting information regarding the infrastructure transceiver and at least some information regarding present location of the infrastructure transceiver; at a communication system configuration server: receiving at least some of the information regarding the infrastructure transceiver and the present location of the infrastructure transceiver; using previously stored information regarding the radio frequency communication system and at least some of the information regarding the infrastructure transceiver and the present location of the infrastructure transceiver to determine configuration information; transmitting to the infrastructure transceiver the configuration information; at the infrastructure transceiver: receiving the configuration information; and using the configuration information to support communications in the radio frequency communication system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of using the previously stored information regarding the radio frequency communication system to determine configuration information, wherein the previously stored information comprises information regarding neighboring infrastructure transceivers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of using the previously stored information regarding the radio frequency communication system to determine configuration information, wherein the previously stored information comprises algorithms for determining optimal resource usage within the radio frequency communication system.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of using the previously stored information regarding the radio frequency communication system to determine configuration information, wherein the previously stored information comprises information regarding topography proximal to the present location of the infrastructure transceiver.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 1, the step of transmitting to the infrastructure transceiver the configuration information further includes the step of transmitting reconfiguration information to at least some neighboring infrastructure transceivers.
