Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized, network-based framework that provides enhanced algorithmic mechanisms for improving GSM location determinations for cell tower communications. The disclosed framework's operations can provide improved visit determinations/estimates and increased value for a user's wireless/cellular data, whereby optimized parameters from and/or of the signals associated with a user device (e.g., mobile device) and tower radio communications therebetween can be leveraged to discern the POIs a user has visited and/or is currently visiting. The location tracking of the user, within a predisposed uncertainty sector correlated among the user's device communications with corresponding radio towers, provides network coverage to track specific locations among POIs for which the user has visited and/or is currently located.

The SCB can define secure zones within a network(s), which can be leveraged to control and/or divert network traffic related to resource requests between entities based on the entities' designed zones. Secure zones, as managed by the SCB can serve as coordination centers for swarm activities among entities, thereby facilitating communication and data sharing among swarm members. The SCB(s) on a network can ensure that swarm communications are secure, controlled and efficient by providing a structured and protected environment for swarm nodes to operate.

Abstract: A predictive modeling approach to managing cellular network infrastructure is disclosed. In an embodiment, a method can include receiving raw data from a plurality of data sources populated while operating a cellular network. The method can then generate per-logical cell site data by normalizing the raw data based on a set of LCSs in the cellular network to generate per-LCS data. The method can then generate an example from the per-LCS data and generate a predicted energy consumption value for the given LCS by inputting the example into a predictive model (e.g., a decision tree-based model, such as an XGBoost model). From this output, the method can determine if the predicted energy consumption value is higher than an expected energy consumption value (e.g., a historical range of consumption). If so, the method can then label the given LCS as an outlier.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a network framework for Wi-Fi barring of network usage that enables network management at a device level, which provides capabilities for the optimization of internet connectivity and data usage based on a user's and/or device's specific needs and priorities.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing data transmission within a cellular network. A base station detects the attachment of a Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) gateway. Upon detection, the base station determines a traffic cap for the FWA gateway based on this attachment. The base station then generates a normalized data rate for the FWA gateway by weighting its achieved data rate. Subsequently, the fairness criteria of a Radio Access Network (RAN) scheduler are adjusted based on this normalized data rate. This methodology ensures a balanced and efficient allocation of resources within the network.
