ABSTRACT:
A control facility (130) within a wireless communication system receives, from a communication unit (120) (CU), a power measurement (306) of a signal (150) projected by a transceiver node (102). The power measurement (306) can be associated with location information (304) for the CU (120) and a time stamp (302). The control facility (130) uses this information to determine whether the CU (120) is being provided with a signal (150) having an acceptable link margin. If not, the control facility mitigates (408, 508, 512, 514, 518, 520) the effects of the unacceptable link margin, if possible. When power measurements (306) are received from multiple CUs (120), the control facility (130) can use the measurements (306) to create (402, 502) a link margin map which correlates CU location (304) with power measurements (306). The map is used to analyze the link margins within the system.
