Abstract
Methods and systems for determining an outage of the wireless communication services in an area are discussed herein. The area may indicate a geographic area defined by at least one of a city boundary, a census tract, a county boundary, or a state boundary. A method includes monitoring signals from a plurality of nodes that provide services to an area; determining, based at least in part on the signals, that at least one of the plurality of nodes is out of service; determining, based at least in part on census data of the area, a coverage level of the area, the coverage level indicating the coverage of services provided by the plurality of nodes in service; determining that the coverage level is less than a coverage threshold; and transmitting an outage notification to an emergency service provider.
