System and method for small cell site location identification for cellular networks

An apparatus for identifying cell site locations within a cellular network, comprising:

• a memory storage storing computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the apparatus to:
• receive, from a central server, a list of one or more first cells with respect to a network;
• apply a first set of conditions with respect to the first cells;
• identify the first cells that satisfy the first set of conditions;
• place the identified first cells within one or more first grids;
• designate one or more first network congestion severity identifiers to the first grids;
• determine if a centroid of one or more grids within the first grids fall within a first pre-defined distance;
• create one or more first tables or matrices based on the designated first network congestion severity identifiers with respect to the first grids;
• designate one or more second network congestion severity identifiers to the first tables or matrices;
• and
• identify, based on the second network congestion severity identifiers, the first tables or matrices for cell site location identification.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for identifying cell site locations within a cellular network by an apparatus, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by at least one processor of the apparatus, cause the apparatus to:

• receive a list of one or more first cells with respect to a network;
• apply a first set of conditions with respect to the first cells;
• identify the first cells that satisfy the first set of conditions;
• place the identified first cells within one or more first grids;
• designate one or more first network congestion severity identifiers to the first grids;
• determine if a centroid of one or more grids within the first grids fall within a first pre-defined distance;
• create one or more first tables or matrices based on the designated first network congestion severity identifiers with respect to the first grids;
• designate one or more second network congestion severity identifiers to the first tables or matrices;
• and
• identify, based on the second network congestion severity identifiers, the first tables or matrices for cell site location identification.
