Abstract
A technique is described for mobile metering of a communication network. As an example, a server may receive, from one or more mobile devices, one or more data packets and extract one or more power measurements, determine a distribution protocol associated with the one or more power measurements, identify a geolocation associated with the one or more power measurements, and determine signal quality data based on the geolocation and the one or more power measurements, and store the signal quality data at a server.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- receiving, from at least one device attached to a vehicle of a network provider, a plurality of power measurements of signals captured at a first geolocation by the at least one device,
- wherein in response to receiving data indicating that the vehicle is stationary at the first geolocation for a threshold time, the at least one device captures the plurality of power measurements at the first geolocation
- wherein the at least one device captures, while the vehicle is stationary for the threshold time at the first geolocation, at least a minimum, maximum, and average power measurement at the first geolocation, and
- wherein the plurality of power measurements are tagged with a subscriber location;
- identifying the subscriber location associated with the plurality of power measurements;
- determining signal power data based on the subscriber location and the plurality of power measurements;
- storing the signal power data at a server;
- receiving, from a device of a subscriber or a potential subscriber of the network provider, a request for the signal power data associated with a second geolocation proximal to the subscriber location;
- and
- transmitting, to the device of the subscriber or the potential subscriber of the network provider, the signal power data for the subscriber location.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from at least one device attached to a vehicle of a network provider, a plurality of power measurements of signals captured at a first geolocation by the at least one device,
- wherein in response to receiving data indicating that the vehicle is stationary at the first geolocation for a threshold time, the at least one device captures the plurality of power measurements at the first geolocation,
- wherein the at least one device captures, while the vehicle is stationary for the threshold time at the first geolocation, at least a minimum, maximum, and average power measurement at the first geolocation, and
- wherein the plurality of power measurements are tagged with a subscriber location;
- identifying the subscriber location associated with the plurality of power measurements;
- determining signal power data based on the subscriber location and the plurality of power measurements;
- storing the signal power data at a server;
- receiving, from a device of a subscriber or a potential subscriber of the network provider, a request for the signal power data associated with a second geolocation proximal to the subscriber location;
- and
- transmitting, to the device of the subscriber or the potential subscriber of the network provider, the signal power data for the subscriber location.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform a process comprising:
- receiving, from at least one device attached to a vehicle of a network provider, a plurality of power measurements of signals captured at a first geolocation by the at least one device,
- wherein, in response to receiving data indicating that the vehicle is stationary at the first geolocation for a threshold time, the at least one device captures the plurality of power measurements at the first geolocation,
- wherein the at least one device captures, while the vehicle is stationary for the threshold time at the first geolocation, at least a minimum, maximum, and average power measurement at the first geolocation, and
- wherein the plurality of power measurements are tagged with a subscriber location;
- identifying the subscriber location associated with the plurality of power measurements;
- determining signal power data based on the subscriber location and the plurality of power measurements;
- storing the signal power data at a server;
- receiving, from a device of a subscriber or a potential subscriber of the network provider, a request for the signal power data associated with a second geolocation proximal to the subscriber location;
- and
- transmitting, to the device of the subscriber or the potential subscriber of the network provider, the signal power data for the subscriber location.
