摘要
A cell coverage management service associated with a wireless communication service provider may collect geolocated traffic data related to coverage areas of the provider's wireless communication network. The service may generate and update associations between geolocations and cells based on the traffic data and determine defects or deficiencies in the current coverage among cells. The service may further identify particular remedies or solutions to address the defects or deficiencies and implement the remedies at corresponding cell sites.
說明書
Generally described, computing devices and communication networks facilitate the collection and exchange of information. Utilizing a wireless communication network and relevant communication protocols, a computing device can engage in communications with a wide variety of computing devices. In accordance with a telecommunication environment, telecommunication devices, such as mobile terminals, establish connections with various computing devices via a wireless communication network provided by a wireless communication service provider.
