  • Patent number: 9967753
    Abstract: A method of managing a wireless communication network. The method comprises collecting network performance data from enhanced node Bs (eNBs) by an application executing on a computer system and collecting user equipment (UE) performance data from UEs, where the UE performance data comprises self-location information at the time of a wireless coverage outage experienced by the UEs. The method further comprises, for each eNB, analyzing by the application network performance data associated with the eNB and UE performance data of wireless coverage outages experienced by UEs determined based on their self-location information to have been proximate to the eNB when its wireless coverage outage was experienced, and, based on the analysis of network performance data in combination with UE performance data, taking action to manage the wireless communication network.
