Abstract
A method and apparatus for characterizing an infrastructure of a wireless network are disclosed. For example, the method obtains a first data set from a server log, and obtains a second data set from a plurality of wireless endpoint device. The method characterizes a parameter of the infrastructure of the wireless network using the first data set and the second data set and optimizes a network resource of the wireless network based on the parameter.
Claims17
A method for characterizing an infrastructure of a wireless network, comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor, a first data set from a server log of a search server;
- obtaining, by the processor, a second data set from a plurality of wireless endpoint devices;
- characterizing, by the processor, a parameter of the infrastructure of the wireless network using the first data set and the second data set, wherein the parameter comprises a location of a gateway in the wireless network that provides an access to a public network from the wireless network, wherein the wireless network comprises a cellular network, wherein the characterizing the parameter comprises predicting cellular addresses of the cellular network;
- and
- optimizing, by the processor, a network resource of a content distribution network based on the parameter.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for characterizing an infrastructure of a wireless network, the operations comprising:
- obtaining a first data set from a server log of a search server;
- obtaining a second data set from a plurality of wireless endpoint devices;
- characterizing a parameter of the infrastructure of the wireless network using the first data set and the second data set, wherein the parameter comprises a location of a gateway in the wireless network that provides access to a public network from the wireless network, wherein the wireless network comprises a cellular network, wherein the characterizing the parameter comprises predicting cellular addresses of the cellular network;
- and
- optimizing a network resource of a content distribution network based on the parameter.
