Abstract: In one embodiment, a current path of a mobile device is determined based on radio signals between the mobile device and a base station, which indicates a sequence of positions of the mobile device over a current time window. A future path of the mobile device is then predicted based on the current path, which indicates a sequence of predicted future positions of the mobile device over a future time window. A link performance prediction (LPP) is then generated for the mobile device based on the future path of the mobile device and a base station coverage map. The base station coverage map indicates a radio signal quality across a base station coverage area, which is represented as a three-dimensional (3D) coordinate space. Moreover, the LPP indicates a predicted performance of a radio link between the mobile device and the base station during the future time window.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for temporary link performance elevation are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a link performance elevation (LPE) request is received. The LPE request is a request to temporarily boost performance of a network link between an endpoint and a service provider for a finite duration. Based on the LPE request, a temporary performance boost is activated for the network link at the start of the finite duration, and the temporary performance boost is deactivated for the network link at the end of the finite duration.
