A system enables a home operator to establish an automated monitoring process which identifies outage events on competitor wireless networks (e.g., peer operators) operating in the same geographies as home operator. The home operator then is able to selectively offer, in near real-time, to open roaming to the peer operator, or implement roaming automatically based on predefined and mutually agreed upon rule sets. The monitoring process may observe non-customer attach request volumes in order to identify outage events on competitor wireless networks.

Dynamic roaming

The technologies described herein are generally directed to configuring carrier aggregation zones based on transmission information in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include identifying, by carrier aggregation equipment including a processor, carrier transmission information corresponding to a first carrier signal and a second carrier signal. The method can further include analyzing, by the carrier aggregation equipment, the carrier transmission information to determine first overlap zone information representative of a first carrier overlap zone for the first carrier signal and the second carrier signal. Further, based on the first overlap zone information, the method includes facilitating configuring transmission parameter information representative of a transmission parameter applicable to transmission of the first carrier signal, to enable carrier aggregation by network equipment within the first carrier overlap zone.

Carrier aggregation configuration in fifth generation (5G) networks or other next generation networks

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying geographic clusters that are similar based on metrics and geo-spatial association. Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to operations that include obtaining data corresponding to a communication network, applying a first algorithm to the data to generate a plurality of bins, generating a respective score for each bin of the plurality of bins, applying a second algorithm, based on the respective scores, to generate a plurality of clusters, and generating a graph for each cluster of the plurality of clusters, wherein vertices of each graph are represented by the bins of the cluster, and wherein edges of each graph connect the bins of the cluster to adjacent bins of the cluster. Other embodiments are disclosed.
