Determining spatial-temporal informative patterns for users and devices in data networks

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• examining a first group of items of information and a second group of items of information, wherein the second group of items of information comprises respective communication network-related information associated with different user equipment associated with network equipment of a communication network;
• and
• determining a spatial-temporal relationship associated with the first group of items of information and the second group of items of information, wherein the spatial-temporal relationship relates to an attribute of interest to an operator of the communication network,
• wherein the examining and the determining are performed at an edge of a communication network to reduce a time latency associated with the examining and the determining the spatial-temporal relationship.

A method, comprising:

• retrieving, by a processing system including a processor, a first group of items of data and a second group of items of data, wherein the second group of items of data comprises respective signal measurement data representative of respective signal measurements associated with respective devices associated with network equipment that is part of a communication network;
• performing, by the processing system, an analysis using an artificial intelligence or machine learning model on the first group of items of data and the second group of items of data;
• and
• determining, by the processing system, based on a result of the analysis, a spatial-temporal pattern associated with the first group of items of data and the second group of items of data, wherein the spatial-temporal pattern relates to a subject of interest to an operator of the communication network.
