Tools and methods for optimizing the selection and placement of wireless radio devices in a wireless network within a geographic region using a remote database that includes a geographic mapping of existing wireless devices within the network and/or adjacent networks, device characteristics for the wireless devices within the network and/or adjacent networks, and radio frequency spectral information across times for a plurality of regions (e.g., corresponding to locations of existing wireless devices). A tool may include a local user interface, a remote database, and a processor that communicates with the user interface and remote database. The methods and tools described herein may receive user input indicating a desired location and/or operational characteristics of new wireless radio device and may determine and suggest an optimal type, location and/or operational parameters for the additional device, or may suggest other modifications to the current network to optimize the network including the new device.

Techniques for operating a personal communication structure (PCS) are described. A personal communication structure (PCS) may include a frame, a housing, and a mounting system coupling the housing to the frame. The mounting system may include a plurality of four-bar linkages. Each of the four-bar linkages may include two links, first pin joints coupling first ends of the respective links to the frame, and second pin joints coupling second ends of the respective links to the housing. Rotation of the links of the mounting system results in displacement of the housing relative to the frame along an arcuate path.

Techniques and apparatus for securing a structure to a support are described. A mounting device may releasably secure a structure to a support. The mounting device may include a first plate, a second plate proximate the first plate, and at least one frangible connection securing the first plate to the second plate. The frangible connection(s) may be adapted to break in response to application of a shear force or other loading above a predetermined value. The mounting device may further include a retention member connecting the first plate to the second plate. The retention member may be adapted to maintain coupling of the first plate and the second plate after breakage of the frangible connection.

Techniques and apparatus for controlling access to a personal communication structure (PCS) are described. The PCS may include independently accessible compartments at least partially enclosing respective subsystems of the PCS. The independently accessible compartments may include an electronics compartment, a communications compartment, and a display compartment. The electronics compartment may be disposed along a lower portion of the PCS, and may at least partially enclose a power distribution subsystem. The communications compartment may be located proximate a top of the PCS, and may at least partially enclose a communications subsystem. The display compartment may be disposed along an upper portion of the PCS, and may at least partially enclose a display subsystem. Access to the interior of a compartment may be provided to authorized users without providing access to interiors of other independently accessible compartments.

Systems and techniques for vandalism detection in a personal communication structure (PCS) are described. The PCS may include one or more vandalism detection systems which may be located in different system compartments of the PCS. Each vandalism detection system may include (or being communicatively coupled to) an accelerometer and may be able to differentiate forces associated with acts of vandalism from other forces. The vandalism detection systems may transmit alerts with accompanying data to a remote entity. The data allows for an appropriate response to the alert. The alert may be transmitted to a remote security center over a wired or wireless communications system. The controller may transmit the alert again or to other locations if an acknowledgement is not received.

Methods and apparatus for estimating a Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device's (CBSD's) coverage area using user equipment (UE) timing advance and/or power headroom information and allocating resources based on the estimate. In an exemplary method embodiment a Spectrum Access System: (i) receives, from a CBSD, user equipment (UE) information including at least one of timing advance or power headroom information for one or more UEs in communication with the CBSD; (ii) estimates, based on the received first UE information, a first CBSD coverage area; and (iii) makes a first resource allocation to the CBSD based on the estimated CBSD coverage area, the first resource allocation including an allocation of at least one of a frequency bandwidth allocation or transmission power allocation to the CBSD.

The invention provides a wireless network coverage optimization algorithm based on a Dijkstra method. An energy transmission model is improved through computing energy loss between nodes, and meanwhile energy constraint and channel selection of a sensor network are used as constraint conditions. The Dijkstra algorithm in a graph theory is used for converting global optimum into optimum between thenodes, an existing network layered framework problem is converted into sub-problems of corresponding problems of each layer of a network layered framework, the influence of energy and channel on thewireless sensor network design is embodied, and the optimal coverage is achieved. Analysis on availability and complexity of the optimization algorithm is also provided herein. Simulated tests and data analysis show that compared with the same kinds of algorithms, the algorithm provided by the invention can achieve larger network coverage rate, faster convergence speed and short consumed time, andthus the network performance of the wireless sensor can be effectively improved.
