Abstract

A system and method for improving network coverage is discussed herein. The system and method can improve network coverage based on lack of coverage key performance indicators generated by disconnection data when user equipment (UE) disconnects from and reconnects to a wireless network. The system determines if the disconnection is associated with a lack of coverage by the wireless network or some other reason. When the disconnection is due to lack of coverage, once the UE reconnects to the wireless network, lack of coverage data associated with the lack of coverage can be used to generate key performance indicators which can be used to improve network coverage. For example, an additional network site can be added to the network, a network site operating parameter can be adjusted, or the like.
