Abstract

Multiple regions around a cell tower provide coverage to a UE. The multiple regions describe the location of the UE in relation to the cell tower. The multiple regions include a near region and a far region. The system sends a request to the UE to provide an indication of a distance between the UE and the cell tower. Based on the distance between the UE and the cell tower, the system categorizes the location of the UE in relation to the cell tower into one of the multiple regions. The system receives an indication of a problem in a communication between the UE and the wireless telecommunication network. Based on the one of the multiple regions into which the location of the UE is categorized, the system determines a likely source of the problem such as the UE, a radio network, or a core network.
