1. A method comprising:
- analyzing, using a processor, a plurality of wireless signal session data records to detect a first relationship within the plurality of wireless signal session data records, the first relationship characterizing rates of movement of wireless devices between two different access points within a geographical area of a wireless system, the wireless devices being associated with the wireless signal session data records;
generating a report based on the first relationship;
deriving information from the report, the information including a syndrome, the syndrome indicating whether a rate of movement of at least one wireless signal session along a wireless service corridor during a period of time is less than expected; and
providing the information to a first wireless device by way of wireless signals.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus provide for analysis of wireless signal session data records in order to detect a selectively defined relationship. The relationship involves one or more wireless signal performance metrics and a geographical area. The relationships can be correlated with at least one syndrome of real-world circumstances. Detection of one or more relationships can be reported and leveraged to improve wireless signal service within an area or throughout a wireless system or infrastructure. Such detection and syndrome reporting can also be used to provide valuable and time-saving information to wireless system users.

8. At least one tangible computer-readable storage medium storing machine readable instructions which, when executed, cause one or more processors to at least:
-
detect a first pattern within a plurality of wireless signal session data records, the first pattern characterizing whether a number of wireless devices repeatedly accessing a first wireless system resource within a geographical area during a period of time exceeds a first threshold; generate a report based on the first pattern; derive information from the report, the information including a syndrome, the syndrome indicating whether a rate of movement of at least one wireless signal session along a wireless service corridor during a period of time is less than expected; and provide the information to a first wireless device by way of wireless signals. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. At least one tangible computer-readable storage medium storing machine readable instructions which, when executed cause one or more processors of a wireless system to at least:
-
detect a pattern within a plurality of wireless signal session data records corresponding to two or more wireless service users, the pattern involving at least one wireless signal performance metric within a geographical area; generate a report based on the pattern, the report to be accessed by one or more resources of the wireless system, the report including a syndrome corresponding to the pattern, the syndrome indicating whether a rate of movement of wireless signal sessions along a wireless service corridor during a time period is less than expected; and provide the information to a first wireless device by way of wireless signals. - View Dependent Claims (17)
