Abstract: Untapped capacity and opportunities for immediate performance improvement can be brought to light in wireless networks through the use of new predictive analytics tools and processes. By knowing the specific breaking points in the network well in advance, network adjustments can be planned and implemented in time to preserve a good customer experience. To successfully manage rapidly rising traffic, network operators can adopt a performance-based approach to capacity planning and optimization. Predictive analytics tools and processes may allow a user to view current network conditions for one or more cells in a network. The tools and processes may also allow the user to view predicted network conditions on a chosen future date for one or more cells in the network.
