At my site on the University of Colorado, I have at least 3 distinct BSes on different buildings and operating at different center frequencies, so it stands to reason they would have different CINR/RSSI stats. I also see other operators, such as CLEAR and SPRINT networks in my area and those show up with the same RSSI/CINR as well. I'd be happy to reproduce this and share debug information if you let me know what would be useful to see (I reckon the output of wimaxcu scan wide isn't helpful). >> I'm a researcher at the >> University of Colorado and am hoping to use the driver in a measurement >> platform.

Any thoughts on my second question, w/r/t how to get more detailed per-BS performance stats from the scan results? Thanks! -- Caleb Phillips
