Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards user equipment (UE) geolocation using a long history of network information. In some examples, a long history of network information associated with a UE can be processed to identify frequently repeated serving cell and correlated timing advance values. The frequently repeated serving cell and correlated timing advance values are indicative of frequently visited places. Next, the long history can be leveraged to determine locations of the frequently visited places with enhanced accuracy, and the resulting enhanced accuracy locations can be identified in a location lookup table for the UE. When the UE subsequently connects to the frequently repeated serving cell and the correlated timing advance value is observed, the location lookup table can be used to quickly assign an enhanced accuracy location to the UE.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards spammer location detection, and in particular, to locating a spammer that makes multiple calls from a given location via a cellular communications network. In some examples, network equipment can obtain call trace records associated with the multiple calls, identify a group of call trace records based on a shared call trace feature, aggregate data from call trace records within the group, and determine an estimated location based on the aggregated data.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards user equipment geolocation. Network measurement data associated with user equipment can be separated into static periods in which the user equipment was not moving, and moving periods in which the user equipment was moving. Static location processing can be applied to determine static locations from the static period network measurements, and moving location processing can be applied to determine moving locations from the moving period network measurements. Resulting static location information and moving location information can then be merged in order to improve the accuracy of both the static and the moving location information. The enhanced accuracy location information can be stored and used for any desired application.

Abstract: Locations and azimuths of cells of a communication network can be estimated, determined, and validated. Cell attribute management component (CAMC) can estimate, determine, and/or validate cell locations based on analysis of timing advance (TA) measurement data and/or location data associated with devices associated with base stations associated with cells. CAMC can estimate azimuth of a cell associated with a base station based on analysis of a validated cell location of the cell and location data associated with devices associated with the cell. CAMC can determine whether a recorded azimuth of the cell is validated based on analysis of the estimated azimuth of the cell and the recorded azimuth of the cell. CAMC can tag the recorded azimuth of the cell as validated if applicable azimuth accuracy criteria is met, inaccurate if applicable azimuth criteria is not met, or omni if the cell is an omni cell.

Abstract: Facilitating analysis and resource planning for advanced heterogeneous networks (e.g., 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. A system is provided that includes a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can include determining that a resource is to be added to existing resources at a grid level of a heterogeneous network. Further, the operations can include selecting candidate locations for placement of the resource based on a coverage-driven objective and a capacity-driven objective defined for the heterogeneous network. The coverage-driven objective can be associated with a demand for services within the grid level of the heterogeneous network. The capacity-driven objective can be associated with demand growth within the grid level of the heterogeneous network. The resource can be a fifth generation millimeter wave node or a cloud radio access network node.

Abstract: Determining levels of geographic redundancy among radios of a wireless radio network is disclosed. The level of geographic redundancy for a radio can affect the determination of location information for a user equipment (UE) on the wireless radio network. The disclosed subject matter can be employed in conjunction with timed fingerprint location (TFL) technologies to facilitate selection of radios employed in determining time values for TFL location determination. Levels of geographic redundancy can be employed to rank or order radios of a wireless radio network so as to reduce the likelihood of using geographically redundant radios in location determination. Further, rules can be selected to adjust threshold values and equations employed in determining the levels of geographic redundancy. Moreover, rules can be selected to apply boundary conditions to reduce the number of determinations formed for a set of radios of the wireless radio network.

Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may obtain operational data from a radio access network (RAN), format the operational data into state information and reward information for a reinforcement learning agent (RLA), processing the state information and the reward information via the RLA, where the RLA comprises a plurality of sub-agents, each comprising a respective neural network, each of the neural networks encoding a respective policy for selecting at least one setting of at least one parameter of the RAN to increase a respective predicted reward in accordance with the state information, and where each neural network is updated in accordance with the reward information. The processing system may further determine settings for parameters of the RAN via the RLA, where the RLA determines the settings in accordance with selections for the settings via the plurality of sub-agents, and apply the plurality of settings to the RAN.
