Apparatus and method to identify user equipment performance and to optimize network performance via big data

A tangible computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving a reported channel quality indicator value from a user equipment, wherein the reported channel quality indicator value is used for setting an initial modulation and an initial coding rate;
• determining a calibrated channel quality indicator value based on historical data for the user equipment;
• and
• applying the calibrated channel quality indicator value that determines a calibrated modulation and a calibrated coding rate instead of the initial modulation and the initial coding rate based on the channel quality indicator value received from the user equipment, wherein the receiving, the determining and the applying are continuously performed while the user equipment is in a radio resource control connected mode.
