Event tagging for mobile networks

摘要

Improved network event tagging for mobile communications is described herein. By way of example, a mobile network can be configured to take periodic geographic positions of a mobile terminal operating within the mobile network. Network events occurring between the periodic geographic positions, otherwise partially unknown in position, can be estimated by referencing topographical information and estimating a route of travel of the mobile device. Estimated speed of the mobile device can be utilized to place the mobile device on a road network, cycling route, pedestrian walkway, or the like, and refine the estimated position of the mobile device at the time of the network event. Such estimates can be refined from traffic information or other real-time travel data. An estimated position of the mobile device can be output as an approximation of the network event to facilitate event modeling for the mobile network.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a system comprising a processor, a first data input indicative of a first geographic location of a mobile device at a first instance of time; receiving, by the system, a second data input indicative of a second geographic location of the mobile device at a second instance of time; estimating, by the system, a speed of the mobile device based at least in part on the first geographic location, the first instance of time, the second geographic location and the second instance of time; receiving, by the system, event information at a third instance of time, wherein the event information represents a mobile communication network event affecting communication between the mobile communication network and the mobile device; interpolating, by the system, a location of the mobile device at the third instance of time based at least on the speed of the mobile device, the first data input and the second data input; and associating, by the system, the location of the mobile device at the third instance of time with the mobile communication network event.
