1. A method, comprising:
- estimating, by a wireless network device of a wireless network comprising a processor, a probability density of a random variable associated with grouping location data, according to a geographic coordinate system, wherein the location data is representative of previous locations of a mobile device of mobile devices, wherein the estimating results in an estimated number of the mobile devices;
based on the estimated number of the mobile devices being determined to exceed a defined number of the mobile devices associated with a network capacity of a transceiver of the wireless network, generating an indication that additional network capacity beyond the network capacity is requested;
identifying, by the wireless network device, a location point based on the probability density; and
based on the location point and the indication, determining, by the wireless network device, a probable location of the mobile device according to a defined probability function.

Abstract
More efficient mobile device location data can be obtained by estimating a most likely location point in a coverage pattern using a kernel density estimation technique. The kernel density estimation technique can provide a continuous estimate of the most frequented locations of a mobile device(s) within a coverage area. For each wireless sector, the collected location data can grouped to the closest geographic coordinate system, and an inference can be made based on the grouped data.

10. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; binning location data associated with preceding locations of a mobile device of mobile devices according to bins of a geographic coordinate system, wherein the binning results in an estimated number of the mobile devices; based on the estimated number of the mobile devices and in response to a condition associated with a network capacity of a transceiver device being determined to have been satisfied, generating a request for additional network capacity over the network capacity; and in response to determining a probable location of the mobile device and the generating the request, determining a frequented location of the mobile device, wherein the determining the probable location comprises estimating a probability density of a random variable associated with the binning. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
