US 2019/0104491 A1 · PAIRED-TIMING CONNECTIVITY EVENT HANDLING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

Abstract

Approaches are described for providing paired-timing connectivity event handling in wireless communications networks. For example, received radio signals can be decoded into bit data streams, and raw connectivity events can be derived from the bit data stream, each raw connectivity event indicating a connectivity measurement corresponding to connectivity at an associated event time between invoked user and provider terminals of the network. The raw connectivity events can be used to compute paired-timing connectivity events (PTCEs), which can effectively correlate connectivity events invoking some or all of the same terminals within a particular time window. The PTCEs can be used to compute network connectivity mapping values, and a stored multidimensional network map can be updated in accordance with the network connectivity mapping values. In some cases, events (e.g., handoffs, terminal locating, etc.) can be directed, at least in part, according to the stored multidimensional network map.
