  • Publication number: 20180060458
    Abstract: A device comprises a non-transitory memory having instructions and one or more processors in communication with the memory. The one or more processors execute the instructions to receive training data that represent dependent variable information from a plurality of cells in a cellular network. One or more clusters of cells are selected from the plurality of cells; while, one or more sub-clusters of cells are selected from the one or more clusters based on the dependent variable information. One or more models are determined corresponding to the one or more sub-clusters of cells based on the relationship between dependent variable information and independent variable information. A prediction value is output from the one or more models in response to the received testing data.

  • Patent number: 9900790
    Abstract: A system and method of predicting cellular network performance based on observed performance indicator data from cells in the cellular network. The method includes accessing a set of observed performance indicator data, the performance indicator data including a time sequenced measure of performance indicators for the cellular network. The method then classifies the observed performance data based on a cell as one of a high load growth cell and a high load non-growth cell. Based on the classification of the cell, the method computes a future value of at least one performance indicator using a predictive model based on testing data for the cell in the observed performance indicator data. The predictive model is derived from training data in the observed performance indicator data. An indication of the future value of the at least one of the performance indicators is output when the future value exceeds an alarm value.

  • Publication number: 20150333998
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of determining whether a metric is an anomaly includes receiving a data point and determining a metric in accordance with the data point and a center value. The method also includes determining whether the metric is below a lower threshold, between the lower threshold and an upper threshold, or above the upper threshold and determining that the data point is not the anomaly when the metric is below the lower threshold. Additionally, the method includes determining that the data point is the anomaly when the metric is above the upper threshold and determining that the data point might be the anomaly when the metric is between the lower threshold and the upper threshold.

  • Publication number: 20070258436
    Abstract: An apparatus in one example has: a first communication network optimized for high-speed packet data services; a first database operatively coupled to the first communication network; a second communication network for providing both voice and slow data-rate data services; a second database operatively coupled to the second communication network; and an operations platform operatively coupled to the first and second databases. The first communication network optimized for high speed packet data will generate in the first database a record which will have at least: mobile ID type, mobile ID, connection ending time, cell, sector, carrier information; and last signal strength value. The second communication network providing both voice and low speed packet data will generate, in the second data base, a record that will have at least mobile ID type, call start time, call length, mobile ID (ESN/MEID), call type (data or voice), cell, sector, carrier information; and call disposition.

  • Publication number: 20070254682
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for determining if a caller is allowed to leave a message in a mailbox. A call request for a called phone is received from a caller at a message server. The message server determines if the called phone has subscribed to a message administration service. If so, the message server determines if the caller is allowed to leave a message in a mailbox. This can be accomplished by either determining if the caller has entered a valid personal identification number or determining if the name of the caller is in a list of pre-approved names. If the caller is allowed to leave a message in a mailbox, the message server allows the caller to leave a message in a mailbox in a mailbox associated with the called phone.

  • Publication number: 20070177605
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for utilizing a backup timing source in digital communication systems when GPS becomes nonfunctional. When a base station fails to receive an expected signal from a GPS satellite, a GPS failure timer is started. If the base station does not receive a signal from the GPS satellite prior to the expiration of the timer, the wireless communication system switches to a backup timing system, such as NTP (Network Time Protocol).

  • Publication number: 20070180042
    Abstract: An apparatus in one example has: a mobile terminal; a voice mail system operatively coupled to a voice mail database, the voice mail database having a plurality of prioritized voice messages for predetermined mobile terminals; and a network operatively coupled to the mobile terminal and the voice mail system. Embodiments according to the present method and apparatus allow the user to assign priorities to various phone numbers. This may be implemented in one embodiment by use of voice prompts to have the user enter a phone number and a priority number. This information is then stored in the network. When the user retrieves the voice messages, the network plays them back according to the priorities associated with the phone numbers that the messages were received on.
