Abstract
Techniques and systems relate to utilizing network metrics to optimize performance and network coverage for a telecommunications network. Using techniques described herein, a telecommunications network may utilize network metrics collected from user equipment (UE) devices to determine how where to deploy cells, such as 5G cells, in order to optimize network performance. Metrics are collected by UE that indicates the use of different wireless access technologies (e.g., 3G, 4G, 4G LTE, 5G, . . . ) within a telecommunications network.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- communicating with a plurality of user equipment (UE) to obtain metric data indicative of communications between the plurality of the UE and network transceivers in a telecommunications network;
- generating, based at least in part on the metric data, first utilization data that indicates a first utilization of a first wireless access technology within a first geographic area of the telecommunications network;
- generating, based at least in part on the metric data, second utilization data that indicates a second utilization of the first wireless access technology within a second geographic area of the telecommunications network;
- generating, based at least in part on the first utilization data and the second utilization data, configuration data that identifies one or more locations within one or more of the first geographic area and the second geographic area to configure one or more network resources of the telecommunications network;
- and
- causing one or more actions to occur to configure one or more network resources within the telecommunications network based, at least in part, on the configuration data,
- wherein the metric data indicative of the communications between the plurality of UE and the network transceivers in the telecommunication network includes at least one of a new radio (NR) band name, a NR radio resource control (RRC) state, a NR primary secondary cell (PSCell) band name, a NR physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) channel assignment status, a NR PDSCH access status, a NR PDSCH beam index, a NR PSCell signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), a NR rank indicator, a list of synchronization signal block (SSB) signal information, a number of SSB beams detected by the UE, a SSB beam index, or a physical cell ID (PCI) for a cell that transmits the SSB name.
