Publication number: 20230308900Abstract: A device may receive real mobile radio data identifying measurements of radio transmissions of base stations and user devices of a mobile radio environment in a geographical area, and may receive network topology data associated with the geographical area. The device may utilize, based on the network topology data, a machine learning feature extraction approach to generate a representation of invariant aspects of spatiotemporal predictable components of the real mobile radio data, and may generate, based on the representation of invariant aspects, stochastic data that includes a probability that a radio signal will be obstructed. The device may utilize the stochastic data to identify a realistic discoverable spatiotemporal signature, and may train or evaluate a system to manage performance of a mobile radio network based on the realistic discoverable spatiotemporal signature.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2022Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Howard John THOMAS, Christopher Michael MURPHY, Kexuan SUN, Agustin POZUELO, Baruch FRIEDMAN, Takai Eddine KENNOUCHE
