  • Publication number: 20230124047
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may access data samples associated with a geographic area of interest covered by a communication network. The data samples may be aggregated into a plurality of data points. The computing system may partition the plurality of data points into a first set of data points and a second set of data points using a first threshold of a first network metric. The computing system may determine a predicted gain of the second network metric for a network enhancement operation. The predicted gain of the second network metric may be determined based on a comparison between a first weighted average of the first set of data points and a second weighted average of the first set of data points and the second set of data points. The computing system may generate one or more network optimization recommendations for the geographic area of interest based at least in part on the predicted gain of the second network metric caused by the network enhancement operation.

  • Publication number: 20230113822
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system accesses a plurality of quality of experience metrics from a plurality of geographic areas, respectively. The system identifies a first geographic area of the plurality of geographic areas connected by a first communication network that has low quality of experiences based on quality of experience metrics and a set of criteria. The set of criteria comprises one or more thresholds corresponding to the quality of experience metrics. The system determines, for the first geographic area, a severity of the low quality of experiences. The severity is based on a connection demand metric associated with each geographic area. The system identifies a second communication network that has one or more quality of experience metrics higher than the first communication network. The system sends, to the client system, instructions for automatically changing from the first communication network to the second communication network.

  • Publication number: 20220086053
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may receive a request for a measurement project of a communication network for a geographic region of interest. The computing system may identify network metrics for control regions. The control regions may comprise geographic regions connected by the communication network. The network metrics may comprise features that measure a change in a value of a corresponding network metric during a particular time period. The computing system may determine, based on a comparison between a first control region and a second control region, whether a first network metric has a change greater than a pre-determined threshold after a first network deployment. The computing system may send, responsive to the request for the measurement project, instructions for presenting a measurement result summary for a second network deployment based on the determined change after the first network deployment is greater than the pre-determined threshold.

  • Patent number: 10785123
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the system determines network performance metrics in a number of geographic areas within a communication network based on application data of end users. The system receives, from a client system, a query for geographic areas of interest specifying network performance criteria based on network performance metrics and corresponding thresholds. The system identifies geographic areas of interest matching the network performance criteria of the query. The system determines, for each geographic area of interest, network performance features based on network performance metrics derived from application data collected from the geographic areas of interest. The system generates optimization recommendations for one or more of the geographic areas of interest. The optimization recommendations are customized for the geographic areas of interest based on the performance features associated with the respective geographic areas of interest.

  • Patent number: 10764184
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the system identifies geographic areas covered by a communication network. The system determines, for each identified geographic area, a network performance metric for the identified geographic area based on a difference between: (1) a first average network speed of the communication network in the identified geographic area during prior time periods in which the communication network is busy, and (2) a second average network speed of the communication network in the identified geographic area during second prior time periods in which the communication network is not busy. The system compares the respective performance metrics of the geographic areas to a threshold network performance metric, which is determined by a congestion-analysis machine learning (ML) model. The system identifies traffic congestions in one or more of the identified geographic areas having a determined network performance metric below the threshold network performance metric.
