Abstract: A method of operating a communication network includes training a neural network and implementing the neural network to determine link availability. Training the neural network includes receiving first images and signal visibility data for first locations for one or more first nodes in the communication network, generating training data based on the first images and the signal visibility data, and training the neural network using the training data to output an attenuation category related to attenuation rate of a link based on a training image and a timestamp for the training image. Implementing the neural network includes receiving second images for second locations for one or more second nodes in the communication network, determining link availability based on the second images and outputs from the neural network, and operating the communication network based on the link availability.

Abstract: The disclosed communication skills training tool helps people position themselves in a communication environment. The communication environment can be a live communication, such as a public speaking event, or can be a virtual event, such as a video conference meeting. The communication skills training tool evaluates a user position and provides feedback regarding a user position to help the user adjust when needed.

Abstract: The disclosed communication skills training tool analyzes verbal and vocal content of data relating to a communication event. A user performs in a communication event and the words spoken and characteristics about them are analyzed by the disclosed systems and methods. The analyzed verbal and vocal content is used to develop improved or ideal communication for the user. Recommendation output is generated based on the compared or analyzed verbal or vocal content and on user or third party feedback.

Abstract: The disclosed communication skills training tool analyzes visual or vocal content of data relating to a communication event. A user performs in a communication event and the words spoken are analyzed by the disclosed systems and methods. The analyzed visual or vocal content is compared to a communication standard or goal. Recommendation output is generated based on the compared or analyzed visual or vocal content.
