  • Publication number: 20240057013
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method to determine a geolocation that includes receiving, by a processor, from a base station (BS), radio predictors, a user equipment (UE) location history, and a geolocation of a first UE for which a minimization of drive test (MDT) mode is activated, radio predictors and a UE location history of a second UE for which the MDT mode is not activated, and cell physical parameters. The method includes training, by the processor, a machine learning (ML) model at least based on the radio predictors, the UE location history, and the geolocation of the first UE, and the cell physical parameters. The method includes executing, by the processor, the ML model to determine the azimuth of the second UE and providing, by the processor, to a downstream application, a geolocation of the second UE at least based on the azimuth and the TA of the second UE.

  • Publication number: 20230309051
    Abstract: A machine learning method performed by a communication network monitoring device in which an incoming signaling record is received that includes radio signal attributes from a UE in the cellular communication network. A determination is made as to whether the UE incoming signaling record contains location (GPS) data. If the UE incoming signaling record contains GPS data, a machine learning model is generated for determining a location of future UEs in the communication network utilizing the GPS data and the radio signal attributes from the incoming UE signaling record. And if GPS data is not included in the UE incoming signaling record, then first a corrected TA value is determined which is then used, along with other radio signal attributes of the UE, to determine/predict a geolocation for the UE using machine learning techniques.

A determination is made as to whether the UE incoming signaling record contains location (GPS) data. If the UE incoming signaling record contains GPS data, a machine learning model is generated for determining a location of future UEs in the communication network utilizing the GPS data and the radio signal attributes from the incoming UE signaling record. And if GPS data is not included in the UE incoming signaling record, then the geolocation for the UE is predicted using machine learning techniques utilizing a previous generated machine learning model as applied to the radio signal attributes from the incoming UE signaling record.
