An analyzer resource receives density information indicating mobile device usage in each of multiple geographical regions. The analyzer resource further receives resource information indicating locations of physical network resources available to support installation of wireless access points in the geographical regions and the location of any existing wireless access points already installed. The analyzer resource then uses at least the density information and the resource information to produce a respective metric for each of the multiple geographical regions. The respective metric for a corresponding geographical region indicates a desirability of installing a respective wireless access point in the corresponding geographical region. Further disclosed embodiments herein include generating a respective map indicating in which respective geographical regions it is desirable to install a respective wireless access point.

A communication method implemented by a network server, includes: obtaining, based on geographical location information of a plurality of base stations, a first connection relationship between the plurality of base stations; converting the first connection relationship into a second connection relationship based on a first correspondence between geographical location information of a base station and a network element ID of a network device connected to the base station, where the second connection relationship is a topological connection relationship between a plurality of network elements, and the plurality of base stations are respectively connected to the plurality of network elements in a one-to-one correspondence; and generating a service connection configuration of the bearer network based on the second connection relationship. As a result, the service connection configuration of the bearer network can be automatically generated, thereby reducing an error rate and improving work efficiency.

Disclosed are embodiments that determine a location of a first wireless device based on estimates of two other wireless devices. Each of the other wireless devices is assigned or defines its own plurality of regions. Each wireless device estimates a location of the first wireless device with respect to its assigned or defined plurality of regions. One of the estimates is then translated to the other device’s plurality of regions. The two estimates are then combined to estimate the location of the first wireless device.

A maritime network provides network coverage for nautical or aerospace vehicles traveling over the sea. Generating the network configuration for the maritime network includes receiving client information for client devices in range of a given node of the maritime network for a period of time that the client devices are traveling asea, as well as location information for the period of time from a plurality of nodes in the network including the given node. Based on the client information and the location information, a network configuration is determined to include a plurality of links to be formed for routing paths through the maritime network. The routing paths are configured to transmit data related to the client devices, and the plurality of links includes a link between the given node and another node in the network that is within a maximum distance from the given node.
