Abstract
Small cell identification using machine learning is provided. A method can include extracting, by a device comprising a processor, signal strength information for a cell in a cellular communication network from user equipment log data; estimating, by the device, path loss information associated with the cell at respective distances based on the signal strength information for the cell, resulting in estimated path loss information; and, based on the estimated path loss information, optionally along with other information such as antenna transmission power, antenna transmission frequency band, percentage of user equipments having a distance to a base station within a threshold, maximum user equipment distance to a base station, etc., classifying, by the device, the cell as a type from a group of types of cells, the group comprising a macro cell and a small cell.
