`
`
`
`actual field testing. Problems recorded in the field could be resolved without delay. The WNTS
`
`functions in a basic sense by monitoring the wireless network for problems that affect service to
`
`connected wireless devices. When these problems are detected the WNTS can then monitor and
`
`track all wireless devices in the problem area and record data on faults and problems these
`
`wireless device incur relevant to their latitude/longitude. The WNTS can then correct the
`
`problem automatically, or make suggestions to the wireless network engineers for the possible
`
`cause of the problem and corrective actions, which may fix the problem.
`
`[0243] The most common method to debug these problems is for engineers to go to the field and
`
`take limited "snaps shots" of the wireless network that only record data for brief periods of time
`
`on limited wireless devices. The process and machine as claimed within, allows a plurality of
`
`wireless devices to be monitored and recorded over a period of time, as well as wireless network
`
`parameters as they interact with the wireless devices, and additionally record faults these
`
`wireless devices incur at specific geographic locations.
`
`[0244] To be able to employ the embodiments of this method, process, and machine, you must
`
`have the ability to find and locate wireless devices on the wireless network. Also, an additional
`
`technology that would allow rapid access to this data would be a dynamic database or system
`
`designed to store and hold information including latitude and longitude of the said wireless
`
`devices. The ability to determine the user's geographic location in the form of latitude and
`
`longitude data is disclosed in an attached document entitled, "A machine for providing a
`
`dynamic database of geographic location information for a plurality of wireless communications
`
`devices and process for making same". This document referenced above, is a United States
`October;4, 2001
`( ) Pr,ov;isional Patent, U.S. Serial Number 60/327,327, which was filed on October 0, 2001. This
`Ch
`ange s applieo
`to document provisional patent application references the use of user location databases (ULD), user location
`'
`/M.J.G/
`database coordinators (ULDC), and other location means The use ofULD, ULDC, and other
`12
`201 7 location means is disclosed ( offered only as an example of location means) in the fore mentioned
`26
`/
`/
`
`provisional patent application, but can also include other means of location including a wireless
`
`device comprising a global positioning system (GPS).
`
`[0245] The fore mentioned provisional patent provides a system that allows a plurality of
