    Abstract: Individual probe management is accomplished in a measurement system by communicating configuration data to each probe based on that probe's received metadata. In one embodiment, the configuration data is sent from a server and the server does not keep track of the probe's configuration. The configuration data may alternatively be sent from another probe. The configuration data can be, for example, parameters used to directly configure the probe or software modules for running on the probe. A probe may send measurements to another probe as well as to the server.

    Abstract: A wireless coverage mapping technique is arranged to display the signalling location for each measured signal as well as the measured signal strength. In one embodiment, the resulting map contains a coloured circle at the point where be signal measurement is taken and a line connecting the circle to the signalling location in communication with the location of the measurement at the time the measurement is taken. If desired, the colour of the line can reflect the connectively metric while the style of the line can convey other information about the measurement or the measurement type. Also, if desired, the direction of movement of a mobile detector (for example, a cellular phone) can be displayed. The map can be used, for example, to determine neighbour lists such that by observation the administrator can match the neighbour list for a particular connection against the transmitter actually selected for that transmission. In this manner, neighbour lists can be updated to reflect the actual usage patterns as shown by the mapping technique disclosed herein.

    Abstract: Probe configuration is achieved in a measurement system in which probes are given possible configuration data depending upon conditions in an area relevant to the area of the probe. The possible probe configurations include global boundaries, such as time, and each probe then, based upon the possible configurations, select a configuration. In one embodiment, the probe may interact with a central processor to further define the probe configuration. In one embodiment, probes may communicate with other probes, both to help define their operating environment and to optionally provide configuration data to another probe.
