A technique for collecting and using signal reputation data, comprising obtaining a plurality of signal reputation data corresponding to a plurality of locations, categorizing the signal reputation data into groups, calculating signal circles for at least some of the groups based on a representative signal value for the corresponding group, calculating a signal reputation score for each signal circle, determining a best signal circle for a user mobile device within a predetermined distance of dead zones, and sending the best signal circle to the user mobile device based at least in part on the signal reputation score and a location of the user mobile device. In some embodiments, the technique may include some but not all of these actions and additional actions, such as suspending obtaining signal reputation data based on battery status.

A controller for a wireless communication system including multiple access points includes a processor that determines measures of mutual interference between the access points based on first information received from the access points. The processor also generates second information representing a logical visualization of the access points and the mutual interference. The controller includes a transceiver that provides the second information to an interactive display device that displays the logical visualization based on the second information. The interactive display device provides third information to the transceiver that indicates modifications to the logical visualization made by a user via the interactive display device. The processor reconfigures one or more of the access points based on the third information.

A smart city management system may enable creating a digital twin of the smart city based on mapping lidar data for the smart city and radio frequency data for the smart city; determining placement of a set of network devices in the smart city based on the created digital twin; and providing a visualization of the determined placement of the set of network devices.

Examples provide a network testing solution using a remote-controlled testing device. A test device includes a computing device for executing network performance testing logic and a cellular device. The test device controls the cellular device via a series of commands issued to the cellular device by the computing device. The test device is placed onto or inside a vehicle. As the vehicle moves through a geographical area, the test device automatically and autonomously performs network testing operations. The test data generated during the test is periodically uploaded to a central controller. The central controller aggregates test data received from a plurality of test devices assigned to a plurality of vehicles for a given campaign. The aggregated test data is analyzed and filtered to generate performance test results. A user can dynamically set up each campaign and assign test devices and vehicles to each campaign using a graphical user interface.

Embodiments are directed towards providing document change alerts in a cloud-based wireless network system. A list of a plurality of target radio frequency design sheets is obtained. One or more cloud-based folders is then search for the plurality of target radio frequency design sheets. One or more corresponding target radio frequency design sheets are identified during the search. A last-modified date of the corresponding target radio frequency design sheet is compared to a target date. In response to the last-modified date of the corresponding target radio frequency design sheet being more recent than the target date: a most recent version of the corresponding target radio frequency design sheet is maintained and an older version of the corresponding target radio frequency design sheet is archived. A modification notification is then sent to at least one user associated with the corresponding target radio frequency design sheet that changed.
