1. A method comprising:
- obtaining, at a processor executing an analysis engine, a log from a data collection device associated with a cellular network, the log comprising subscriber data, cell identifier data, and time data;
identifying, by the processor, a subscriber represented by the subscriber data;
determining, by the processor and based on the cell identifier data and the time data, a vector associated with the subscriber, wherein the vector comprises a list of cell identifiers that correspond to two cells of the cellular network, wherein the two cells were visited by a device associated with the subscriber, wherein the vector represents a movement of the device, and wherein the time data represents a time at which a handoff associated with the device occurred between a first of the two cells and a second of the two cells;
analyzing, by the processor, the vector to calculate a status associated with the subscriber at a cell of the vector determined, wherein the status is based on a distance travelled by the subscriber in the cell, which is based on a distance calculated between an entry point and an exit point associated with the cell; and
storing, by the processor, status data that represents the status determined.

Abstract
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for generating and analyzing mobility vectors to determine subscriber behavior. A processor can execute an analysis engine. The analysis engine can obtain a log from a data collection device associated with a cellular network. The log can include subscriber data, cell identifier data, and time data. The analysis engine can identify a subscriber represented by the subscriber data and determine a vector associated with the subscriber. The vector can represent a movement of the subscriber within the cellular network. The analysis engine can store vector data that corresponds to the vector determined.

11. A system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising obtaining a log from a data collection device associated with a cellular network, the log comprising subscriber data, cell identifier data, and time data, identifying a subscriber represented by the subscriber data, determining, based on the cell identifier data, a vector associated with the subscriber, wherein the vector comprises a list of cell identifiers that correspond to two cells of the cellular network, wherein the two cells were visited by a device associated with the subscriber, wherein the vector represents a movement of the device, and wherein the time data represents a time at which a handoff associated with the device occurred between a first of the two cells and a second of the two cells, analyzing the vector to calculate a status associated with the subscriber at a cell of the vector determined, wherein the status is based on a distance travelled by the subscriber in the cell, which is based on a distance calculated between an entry point and an exit point associated with the cell, and storing status data that represents the status determined. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
obtaining a log from a data collection device associated with a cellular network, the log comprising subscriber data, cell identifier data, and time data; identifying a subscriber represented by the subscriber data; determining, based on the cell identifier data, a vector associated with the subscriber, wherein the vector comprises a list of cell identifiers that correspond to two cells of the cellular network, wherein the two cells were visited by a device associated with the subscriber, wherein the vector represents a movement of the device, and wherein the time data represents a time at which a handoff associated with the device occurred between a first of the two cells and a second of the two cells; analyzing the vector to calculate a status associated with the subscriber at a cell of the vector determined, wherein the status is based on a distance travelled by the subscriber in the cell, which is based on a distance calculated between an entry point and an exit point associated with the cell; and storing status data that represents to the status determined. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
