First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for macro cell hotspot identification, comprising:
- a processor reading an input data comprising a plurality of User Equipment (UE) session records in an area of interest, each of the plurality of UE session records including UE location information;
the processor generating a perturbed data by adjusting the UE location information in each of the plurality of UE session records in the input data based on observed geo-location error data in the area of interest; and
the processor identifying a hotspot with a high traffic concentration based on the perturbed data comprising the plurality of UE session records with modified UE location information.

Abstract
To effectively plan small cell placement within a current macro cell network, it is necessary to identify the traffic hotspots. Small cells can be placed in hotspot locations in order to effectively offload traffic from the corresponding macro cell. Hotspots can be identified based on information about traffic from/to mobile users, particularly, the observed User Equipment (UE) locations and amount of data transmitted from/to the UEs. Provided are systems and methods for accounting for geo-location errors in identifying hotspots and determining small cell placement.
