Abstract
A device may determine an identity associated with a user equipment (UE) or traffic on multiple interfaces of a network by correlating identifiers associated with the UE or the traffic across the multiple interfaces. The identity may uniquely identify a subscriber associated with the UE or the traffic. The traffic may identify a set of cells, with a respective set of beams, associated with the UE. The device may determine a respective set of measurements for the respective set of beams after determining the identity. The device may determine a location of the UE based on the set of cells, the respective set of beams, and the respective set of measurements. The device may perform one or more analyses related to the UE, the set of cells, or the respective set of beams.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- monitoring, by a device, traffic associated with a user equipment (UE) on multiple interfaces of a network,
- wherein the traffic identifies a set of cells, with a respective set of beams, associated with the UE;
- determining, by the device and after monitoring the traffic, an identity associated with the UE or the traffic on the multiple interfaces by correlating identifiers associated with the UE or the traffic across the multiple interfaces,
- wherein the identity uniquely identifies a subscriber associated with the UE or the traffic;
- determining, by the device and after determining the identity, a location of the UE based on the set of cells, the respective set of beams, and a respective set of measurements associated with the set of cells or the set of beams;
- performing, by the device and in association with determining the location of the UE, one or more analyses related to the UE, the set of cells, or the respective set of beams;
- aggregating, by the device, a respective result of the one or more analyses across multiple UEs after performing the one or more analyses,
- wherein the multiple UEs include the UE;
- and
- generating, by the device, a set of recommendations related to reconfiguring a coverage of the set of cells or the respective set of beams after aggregating the respective result of the one or more analyses across the multiple UEs.
7 more elements
A device, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- monitor traffic associated with a user equipment (UE) on multiple interfaces of a network,
- wherein the multiple interfaces include:
- at least one 4G interface, and
- at least one 5G interface;
- correlate, after monitoring the traffic, identifiers associated with the UE or the traffic across the multiple interfaces,
- wherein the identifiers are associated with an identity that uniquely identifies a subscriber associated with the UE or the traffic;
- determine, after correlating the identifiers, a location of the UE based on a set of cells, a respective set of beams associated with the set of cells, and a respective set of measurements associated with the set of cells or the respective set of beams;
- and
- perform, in association with determining the location of the UE, one or more analyses related to the UE, the set of cells, or the respective set of beams;
- aggregate a respective result of the one or more analyses across multiple UEs after performing the one or more analyses,
- wherein the multiple UEs include the UE;
- and
- generate a set of recommendations related to reconfiguring a coverage of the set of cells or the respective set of beams after aggregating the respective result of the one or more analyses across the multiple UEs.
13 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
- determine an identity associated with a user equipment (UE) or traffic on multiple interfaces of a network by correlating identifiers associated with the UE or the traffic across the multiple interfaces,
- wherein the identity uniquely identifies the UE associated with the traffic or a subscriber associated with the UE or the traffic,
- wherein the traffic identifies a set of cells, with a respective set of beams, associated with the UE;
- determine, after determining the identity, a respective set of measurements for the respective set of beams after determining the identity;
- determine, after determining the respective set of measurements, a location of the UE based on the set of cells, the respective set of beams, and the respective set of measurements;
- perform, in association with determining the location of the UE, one or more analyses related to the UE, the set of cells, or the respective set of beams. and
- aggregate a respective result of the one or more analyses across multiple UEs after performing the one or more analyses,
- wherein the multiple UEs include the UE;
- and
- generate a set of recommendations related to reconfiguring a coverage of the set of cells or the respective set of beams after aggregating the respective result of the one or more analyses across the multiple UEs.
