Publication number: 20230124047Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Ying Li, Vincent Gonguet, Martinus Arnold de Jongh

Patent number: 10764184Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Ying Li, Martinus Arnold de Jongh, Vincent Gonguet, James Donovan, Laurent Corigliano
