Abstract
A device may be configured to obtain metric information relating to an operating environment. The metric information may describe a signal strength or a signal quality associated with one or more calls placed in the operating environment. The device may be configured to obtain a threshold for the metric information. The device may be configured to determine indoor/outdoor classification information that identifies whether the one or more calls are classified as an indoor call or an outdoor call or an unclassified call based on whether the metric information satisfies the threshold. The device may be configured to determine geolocation information identifying one or more geographical locations associated with the one or more calls. The device may be configured to provide the indoor/outdoor classification information and the geolocation information.
