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.

A computer-implemented method is provided for finding a data transmission beam from an Access Point (AP) to a User Equipment (UE) in a communication system. The method includes selecting a probing beam from a set of probing beams. The method further includes sending a plurality of probing packets from the AP to the UE using a dedicated probing beam selected for each probing packet from among the set of probing beams. The method also includes receiving feedback from the UE regarding the plurality of probing packets. The method additionally includes computing the data transmission beam based on the received feedback and the set of probing beams.

Various arrangements for performing cellular network testing are presented herein. A test environment can be created for a production cellular network. A test can be defined for the cellular network within the testing environment then performed. An issue can be logged using a ticket logging system that indicates that a performance metric of the cellular network within the test environment was not met. The issue and the test environment are analyzed to identify a component responsible for the performance metric not being met. Access to a record defining the issue is provided to an external entity that is mapped to the component. The cellular network as implemented in the test environment can then be modified.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory, machine-readable media may facilitate multi-environment cellular network slice testing. A cloud-based test environment may be created and may include multiple cellular network components executed on a cloud-based computing platform. One or more slice testing requests may be received from a service provider system. Responsive to the one or more slice testing requests, one or more network slices may be created, where the one or more network slices may correspond to one or more portions of a cellular network. Slice testing may be performed with the one or more network slices within the cloud-based test environment. Results of the slice testing using the one or more network slices may be obtained.

A system and a method of operating a communication system including a public safety answering point (PSAP). In an embodiment, an apparatus is configured to compare a new configuration for routing an E911 communication to the PSAP employing a new primary communication path from a new cell site sector to a deployed configuration for routing an E911 communication to the PSAP employing a deployed primary communication path from a deployed cell site sector. The apparatus is also configured to demonstrate that a communication from a handset in the new cell site sector can connect to another handset.

In a method for managing proper operation of a base station, a base station data model is established to realize remote monitoring integration of different base stations; a key performance indicator (KPI) and an alarm event uploaded by the base stations are collected through the base station data model; cells covered by the base stations are grouped, and a health management model for base station operation is built based on cell grouping, KPI, and the alarm event. KPIs and the alarm events uploaded by the base stations are received, and a health level of each base station is updated according to the base station health management model.

Implementations relate to configuration of wireless communication signals between devices. In some implementations, a method includes determining a transmission scenario associated with transmission of wireless signals of a particular wireless communication protocol from a first device to a second device. The transmission scenario specifies one or more transmission characteristics for the signal transmission. A test message is sent wirelessly from the first device to the second device according to the transmission scenario, and a reply message is received from the second device in response to test message. The reply message includes one or more signal quality indicators that indicate a signal quality of the test message. The transmission scenario is selected as a designated scenario based on the signal quality indicators, and data is wirelessly transmitted from the first device to the second device according to the designated scenario.
