Abstract

Various arrangements for decreasing cellular network dead spots using microcells are detailed. A geographic map indicative of cellular network performance may be created. Using the geographic map, an area that has a cellular network dead spot can be identified. A subscriber database can be used to identify a subscriber address that is in a location to extend the cellular network within the dead spot. Based on analyzing the subscriber database to identify the subscriber address that is in the location to extend the cellular network, a microcell can be caused to be deployed at the subscriber address. Cellular services can then be provided using the microcell to various pieces of user equipment.
