Mobile network signal strength identification and visualization system
A processor-implemented method includes receiving, from a mobile device, signal strength information indicative of a signal strength of a signal between the mobile device and a network transceiver in a mobile device telecommunications network. The processor determines, based at least in part on the signal strength information, a coverage area associated with the network transceiver, determines, based at least in part on the signal strength information, an aggregated signal strength associated with a location within the coverage area, and determines a predicted signal strength associated with the location. The predicted signal strength is based at least in part on a signal strength estimation model. The processor determines a difference between the aggregated signal strength and the predicted signal strength, determines whether the difference meets or exceeds a signal strength threshold, and generates a message to update hardware component associated with the location.
