Abstract

Example methods disclosed herein include analyzing session records associated with a wireless system to determine a time period between an access of a first wireless system resource by a wireless device and an access of a second wireless system resource by the wireless device. Example methods disclosed herein also include determining a rate at which the wireless device is traversing through a coverage area of the wireless system, the rate being determined based on the time period. Example methods disclosed herein further include generating a report including the rate.

Claims (31)

1. A method comprising:

analyzing, by executing an instruction with a processor, session records associated with a wireless system to determine a time period between an access of a first wireless system resource by a wireless device and an access of a second wireless system resource by the wireless device;

determining, by executing an instruction with the processor, a rate at which the wireless device is traversing through a coverage area of the wireless system, the rate being determined based on the time period; and

generating, by executing an instruction with the processor, a report including the rate.

2. The method of claim 1 , further including transmitting the report to the wireless device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access of the first wireless system resource and the access of the second wireless system resource are consecutive.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless system resource corresponds to a first cellular tower and the second wireless system resource corresponds to a second cellular tower.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the analyzing of the session records is based on a plurality of input variables.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of input variables includes a first input variable identifying the wireless device, a second input variable identifying the first wireless system resource and a third input variable identifying the second wireless system resource.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the wireless device is a first wireless device, and further including acquiring the session records for wireless sessions established between the wireless system and respective ones of a plurality of wireless devices, the plurality of wireless devices including the first wireless device.

8. A computer readable memory storing computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause a processor to perform operations comprising:

analyzing session records associated with a wireless system to determine a time period between an access of a first wireless system resource by a wireless device and an access of a second wireless system resource by the wireless device;

determining a rate at which the wireless device is traversing through a coverage area of the wireless system, the rate being determined based on the time period; and

generating a report including the rate.

9. The computer readable memory of claim 8 , wherein the operations further include transmitting the report to the wireless device.

10. The computer readable memory of claim 8 , wherein the access of the first wireless system resource and the access of the second wireless system resource are consecutive.

11. The computer readable memory of claim 8 , wherein the first wireless system resource corresponds to a first cellular tower and the second wireless system resource corresponds to a second cellular tower.

12. The computer readable memory of claim 8 , wherein the analyzing of the session records is based on a plurality of input variables.

13. The computer readable memory of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of input variables includes a first input variable identifying the wireless device, a second input variable identifying the first wireless system resource and a third input variable identifying the second wireless system resource.

14. The computer readable memory of claim 13 , wherein the wireless device is a first wireless device, and the operations further include acquiring the session records for wireless sessions established between the wireless system and respective ones of a plurality of wireless devices, the plurality of wireless devices including the first wireless device.

15. An apparatus comprising:

memory storing computer readable instructions; and

a processor to execute the computer readable instructions to perform operations including:

analyzing session records associated with a wireless system to determine a time period between an access of a first wireless system resource by a wireless device and an access of a second wireless system resource by the wireless device;

determining a rate at which the wireless device is traversing through a coverage area of the wireless system, the rate being determined based on the time period; and

generating a report including the rate.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the operations further include transmitting the report to the wireless device.

17. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the access of the first wireless system resource and the access of the second wireless system resource are consecutive.

18. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the first wireless system resource corresponds to a first cellular tower and the second wireless system resource corresponds to a second cellular tower.

19. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the analyzing of the session records is based on a plurality of input variables including a first input variable identifying the wireless device, a second input variable identifying the first wireless system resource and a third input variable identifying the second wireless system resource.

20. The apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the wireless device is a first wireless device, and the operations further include acquiring the session records for wireless sessions established between the wireless system and respective ones of a plurality of wireless devices, the plurality of wireless devices including the first wireless device.
