The present technology relates to a communication device, a communication method, and a communication system for enabling collection of a communication quality measurement value regarding a sidelink. A communication device is provided, which includes a control unit configured to control measurement of communication quality of a sidelink between the communication device and another communication device on the basis of information with which communication quality of wireless communication between the communication device and the another communication device is measurable, thereby enabling collection of the communication quality measurement value regarding a sidelink. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a communication device built in or externally mounted to a vehicle.

Method comprising receiving a request to start collection of management data for a geographical area; for each of one or more radio cells: checking whether the respective radio cell fulfills at least one of one or more criteria; determining one or more network functions serving the respective radio cell if the respective radio cell fulfills the at least one of the one or more criteria; triggering the determined one or more network functions to start collection of the management data for the respective radio cell; wherein each of the one or more criteria is only fulfilled if the respective radio cell is related to the geographical area.

Concepts and technologies are disclosed for creating and using cell clusters. Cellular network data associated with a cellular network can be obtained. The cellular network data can include configuration data associated with a cell of the cellular network and a performance indicator associated with the cellular network. A number of cell clusters to be generated can be determined and the cell clusters can be generated. The cell clusters can include a cell cluster that can represent multiple cells including the cell. A model that represents the cell cluster can be trained. An input cluster that represents multiple inputs can be generated. The inputs can be associated with the multiple cells and the input cluster can include a value. The value can be provided as input to the model to obtain a predicted output associated with the cell cluster.

A wireless testing system is provided that tests Wi-Fi signal strength of devices of a local network to determine distribution of network devices within the local network. In particular, one or more Wi-Fi-based devices may be located within or near a premises in which a wireless network is present. The devices are configured to automatically connect to a particular test broadcast signal from a modem and provide signal strength data. An application may log into or otherwise access the information obtained by the modem concerning the Wi-Fi signal strength of the wireless devices. The application may analyze the Wi-Fi signal strength information and may execute a recommendation engine to provide one or more recommendations/directions for installing components of the wireless network, such as wireless devices, modems, etc. to improve the coverage of the wireless network and provide a more robust wireless experience for devices within the wireless network.
