Event Tagging For Mobile Networks
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a system including a processor, a first data input indicative of a first geographic location of a mobile device at a first instance in time;
receiving, by the system, a second data input indicative of a second geographic location of the mobile device at a second instance in time;
receiving, by the system, a network event pertaining to the mobile device at a third instance in time that occurs between the first instance in time and the second instance in time; and
determining, by the system, a location of the mobile device at the third instance in time based at least on the first data input and the second data input and associating the position with the network event.

Abstract
Providing for improved network event tagging for mobile communications is described herein. By way of example, a mobile network can be configured to take periodic geographic positions of a mobile terminal operating within the mobile network. Network events occurring between the periodic geographic positions, otherwise partially unknown in position, can be estimated by referencing topographical information and estimating a route of travel of the mobile device. Estimated speed of the mobile device can be utilized to place the mobile device on a road network, cycling route, pedestrian walkway, or the like, and refine the estimated position of the mobile device at the time of the network event. Such estimates can be refined from traffic information or other real-time travel data. An estimated position of the mobile device can be output as an approximation of the network event to facilitate event modeling for the mobile network.

11. A system, comprising:
-
at least one communication interface that sends and receives information pertaining to the wireless network with a set of components of the wireless network; at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor, communicatively coupled to the at least one memory and the at least one communication interface, that facilitates execution of the computer-executable instructions to at least; receive location data comprising location information pertaining to a mobile device for at least two points in time, wherein the location data is obtained via the at least one communication interface; receive a notification of a network event pertaining to the mobile device and a time of the network event; estimate a position of the mobile device at the time of the network event utilizing the location information, the at least two points in time, and the time of the network event; and outputting a position of the mobile device to be associated with a geographic area of the network event, in response to receipt of the notification of the network event. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions that, in response to execution facilitated by a processor, cause a system including the processor to perform operations, comprising:
-
employing a set of known geographic locations for a mobile device at respective times to determine another location of the mobile device at a time of occurrence of a network event associated with the mobile device; and outputting the extrapolated additional position of the mobile device as an estimated position of the network event. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
