Mobile phone network management systems

摘要

A system and methods for maintaining or optimizing a mobile phone network by spatially correlating geolocated radio access network (RAN) performance measurement data and geolocated subscriber account data, which in embodiments provides additional technical information on the RAN performance. These data are integrated in a spatial data structure and provided with a spatial querying and data correlation system for identifying, and addressing problem areas of the RAN.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving subscriber data for subscriber accounts of a plurality of subscribers, the subscribers including at least one of present or past subscribers; receiving geolocated RAN performance data defining a map of one or more quality of service parameters of a RAN over a region of coverage of the RAN of a mobile phone network; combining the geolocated RAN performance data defining the map of the one or more quality of service parameters with the subscriber data; and outputting data predicting problem areas of the coverage of the RAN from the combining, for improving the coverage of the RAN in the predicted problem areas; wherein receiving the subscriber data comprises receiving data mapping, for the plurality of subscribers, subscriber location, and at least one of:
deactivation of subscriber accounts;a reason for the deactivation of subscriber accounts;subscriber complaint information; ordata that identifies high value subscribers; wherein combining the geolocated RAN performance data with the subscriber data comprises spatially correlating the geolocated RAN performance data defining the map of the one or more quality of service parameters with the subscriber data mapping, the subscriber location, and at least one of:
deactivation;the reason for the deactivation of the subscriber accounts;the subscriber complaint information; orthe data that identifies high value subscribers; for predicting the problem areas of the coverage.
