Abstract
Embodiments described herein relate to methods and apparatus for determining cell upgrades, for example whether to upgrade a Long Term Evolution (LTE) cell to Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (M-MIMO) technology. There is provided a method for determining a cell upgrade metric. The method receives samples having user session data from user equipment communicating within a cell. Training data is obtained from the samples by applying a filtering rule and an autoencoder trained using the samples. The encoder and code layers of the trained autoencoder are combined with a classifier network to generate a combined classification network. The combined classification network is trained using the training data. The trained combined classifier network is used to classify user session data within the same or a different cell and using a plurality of the classifications to determine the cell upgrade metric for the cell.
