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: 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: A device can receive, from a network node device, call trace event data relating to characteristics of a wireless communication session between the network node device and a user equipment. The device can sequence and combine the call trace event data for a period of the wireless communication session. The device can analyze the call trace event data to determine a category of network communication traffic transmitted via a communication channel between the network node device and the user equipment. In response to a determination that the network communication traffic comprises streaming video packets, the device can facilitate directing of network resources to be allocated to support the wireless communication session.

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.

Abstract: A network device that determines RACH root sequences for AP devices within a given market. The network device can utilize a specialized graph coloring process or algorithm that has been adapted to, e.g., ensure that no two neighboring AP devices share the same RACH root sequences, provided certain additional constraints not found in graph coloring theory are met. For example, AP devices can have multiple RACH root sequence, whereas in traditional graph coloring problems, each vertex typically has only one color.

Abstract: Techniques for locating a mobile device using a time distance of arrival (TDOA) method with disturbance scrutiny are provided. In an aspect, for respective combinations of three base station devices of a number of base station devices greater than or equal to three, intersections in hyperbolic curves, generated using a closed form function with input values based on differences of distances from the device to pairs of base station devices of the respective combinations of three base station devices, are determined. The intersection points are then tested for robustness against measurement errors associated with the input values and a subset of the intersection points that are associated with a degree of resistance to the measurement errors are selected to estimate a location of the device.
