Abstract: Locations of cells of a communication network can be estimated, determined, and validated. Cell location component (CLC) can analyze timing advance (TA) measurement data and/or location data associated with devices associated with a base station associated with one or more cells. CLC can estimate a first location of the base station, based on the TA measurement data and/or location data, to facilitate estimating the location of an associated cell. CLC can validate the estimated cell location or recorded cell location of the cell (recorded in a cell location pool) based on analysis of estimated cell location, recorded cell location, TA measurement data, and/or location data, and, based on the validation, can tag the cell location determination as accurate, acceptable, bad, or uncertain. CLC can request additional monitoring of a cell location determination tagged as uncertain, or investigation of a cell location determination tagged as bad.

Abstract: Systems and methods may use a math programming model for designing an edge cloud network. The edge cloud network design may depend on various factors, including the number of edge cloud nodes, edge cloud node location, or traffic coverage, among other things.
