Identifying a cell site as a target for utilizing 5th generation (5G) network technologies and upgrading the cell site to implement the 5G network technologies

A device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, operatively coupled to the one or more memories, to:
• receive a set of network performance indicator (NPI) values for network performance metrics that measure network performance of a cell site at specific time periods;
• identify a subset of NPI values, of the set of NPI values, that measure network performance during peak usage time periods;
• determine that one or more NPI values, of the subset of NPI values, satisfies particular threshold network performance values, of a set of threshold network performance values that represent standards of network performance;
• select particular NPI values, of the set of NPI values, that are associated with the peak usage time periods, based on the one or more NPI values satisfying the particular threshold network performance values of the set of threshold network performance values;
• compare each NPI value, of the particular NPI values with a set of upper bound network performance values and a set of lower bound network performance values;
• determine a set of weighted scores for the particular NPI values based on comparing the particular NPI values with the set of upper bound network performance values and the set of lower bound network performance values;
• determine, by processing the set of weighted scores, a weighted mean score that represents a mean of the set of weighted scores for the particular NPI values;
• determine, based on an analysis of the particular NPI values and the weighted mean score, an overall site score that represents a viability level in upgrading the cell site;
• generate, based on an analysis of the overall site score and one or more additional overall site scores for one or more other cell sites, a plan to upgrade at least one of:
• one or more network technologies associated with the cell site, or
• one or more network technologies associated with the one or more other cell sites;
• and
• perform one or more actions to cause the plan to be implemented.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a set of network performance indicator (NPI) values for network performance metrics that measure network performance of a cell site at specific time periods throughout an interval of time;
• receive a set of threshold network performance values that represent standards of network performance;
• process the set of NPI values to identify a subset of NPI values that measure network performance during peak usage time periods;
• determine that one or more NPI values, of the subset of NPI values, satisfies particular threshold network performance values of the set of threshold network performance values;
• select particular NPI values, of the set of NPI values, that are associated with the peak usage time periods, based on the one or more NPI values satisfying the particular threshold network performance values of the set of threshold network performance value;
• compare the particular NPI values with a set of upper bound network performance values and a set of lower bound network performance values;
• determine a set of weighted scores for the particular NPI values based on comparing the particular NPI values with the set of upper bound network performance values and the set of lower bound network performance values;
• determine, by processing the set of weighted scores, a weighted mean score that represent a mean of the set of weighted scores for the particular NPI values;
• determine, based on an analysis of the particular NPI values and the weighted mean score, an overall site score that represents a viability level in upgrading the cell site;
• generate, based on the overall site score, a plan to upgrade one or more network technologies associated with the cell site;
• determine, based on whether the overall site score satisfies a threshold confidence level, whether to automatically implement the plan or to obtain approval to implement the plan;
• and
• perform a first group of one or more actions or a second group of one or more actions based on determining whether to automatically implement the plan or to obtain approval to implement the plan.
