Self-calibrating and self-adjusting network

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a network node, a signal quality measurement for a mobile device, wherein the network node is a coordinating server in a data path between a base station and a core network;
• storing, at the network node, the signal quality measurement, a user equipment identifier of the mobile device, a time of the signal quality measurement, and a location of the mobile device location as a record at an aggregation server;
• aggregating, at the network node, additional records that match an identifier of the mobile device, and that are within a period of time that includes a time of the record, and that are within a geographic location that includes a position of the record;
• storing, at the network node, at least one statistical measure of a signal quality measurement of the aggregated additional records;
• updating, at the network node, a minimum and a maximum threshold value for an operational network parameter based on the stored at least one statistical measure;
• associating, at the base station, a position and an aggregate signal strength parameter calculated from signal strength parameters from multiple mobile devices,
• wherein the signal strength parameter is calculated by selecting a value reflecting a relative minimum signal strength;
• and
• adjusting, at the network node, the operational network parameter based on the minimum and the maximum threshold value,
• compiling, at the base station, a record of call drops per aggregated location at the database;
• performing, at the base station, prediction of future call drops based on the compiled record of call drops per aggregated location and a position parameter,
• thereby providing an improvement to the radio access network over a geographic area.
