Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining and verifying real-time location of a user based on physical location of a user device. The user device receives a generated geo-referenced position data from a server and correlates the geo-referenced position data with a ground-truth information to determine physical location of the user. The user device selects a set of test points using interpolation of a desired path of the user, where the desired path is determined based on the physical location of the user. The user device displays the set of test points on the desired path on a display unit and initiates a test call through a mobile network at each test point of the set of test points to verify the physical location of the user.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for the granular network-based detection of UE location in a RAN that includes one or more mobile base stations using quantum computing. Mobile base stations may be, for example, affixed on vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, drones, etc.), may be implemented by other UEs, and/or may otherwise be non-stationary. In contrast, fixed base stations may be mounted to towers, buildings, or other types of permanent or semi-permanent installations. Quantum computing techniques, as described herein, may aid in the precise determination of UE location using triangulation techniques and/or other network-based location techniques. Further, in RANs that include mobile base stations, the locations of both the UE and a reference point may change relatively rapidly. The use of quantum computing, as described herein, may aid in the fast and precise determination of UE location in situations where mobile base stations and/or UEs are moving rapidly.

The system may further determine, based on attributes of a given sector, a sector model and/or a channel propagation model associated with the sector. Based on the sector model and/or the determined channel propagation model, one or more actions may be determined in order to enhance channel propagation metrics within the sector, such as at portions of the sector at which increased demand for wireless service is detected.
