Abstract
A core network entity (CNE) can predict received signal strength values for base station (BS). In response to a triggering event, the CNE fetches information on BS configuration parameters, including at least one of: a BS class, a BS location, a BS height, an orientation of the BS, a BS antenna pattern, and topographical details surrounding the BS. The BS obtains, processes and forwards to the CNE, measurement reports created by a user equipment (UE) including a signal strength value and a location of the UE. The CNE pools the measurement reports based on the BS class and, in response to another triggering event, recalibrates signal strength prediction tools, which can predict received signal strength values from the BS to a location in a vicinity of the BSs. The CNE also pools and stores the measurement reports and corresponding BS configuration parameters, after post processing and compression.
