Predicting Drive Test Results in Mobile Networks Using Optimization Techniques

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Mobile network operators constantly optimize their networks to ensure superior service quality and coverage. This optimization is crucial for maintaining an optimal user experience and requires extensive data collection and analysis. One of the primary methods for gathering this data is through drive tests, where technical teams use specialized equipment to collect signal information across various regions. However, drive tests are both costly and time-consuming, and they face challenges such as traffic conditions, environmental factors, and limited access to certain areas. These constraints make it difficult to replicate drive tests under similar conditions. In this study, we propose a method that enables operators to predict received signal strength at specific locations using data from other drive test points. By reducing the need for widespread drive tests, this approach allows operators to save time and resources while still obtaining the necessary data to optimize their networks and mitigate the challenges associated with traditional drive tests.


Leveraging Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques for Improved Pathological Staging of Prostate Cancer

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Prostate cancer (Pca) continues to be a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in men, and the limitations in precision of traditional diagnostic methods such as the Digital Rectal Exam (DRE), Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) testing, and biopsies underscore the critical importance of accurate staging detection in enhancing treatment outcomes and improving patient prognosis. This study leverages machine learning and deep learning approaches, along with feature selection and extraction methods, to enhance PCa pathological staging predictions using RNA sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Gene expression profiles from 486 tumors were analyzed using advanced algorithms, including Random Forest (RF), Logistic Regression (LR), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The performance of the study is measured with respect to the F1-score, as well as precision and recall, all of which are calculated as weighted averages. The results reveal that the highest test F1-score, approximately 83%, was achieved by the Random Forest algorithm, followed by Logistic Regression at 80%, while both Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) scored around 79%. Furthermore, deep learning models with data augmentation achieved an accuracy of 71. 23%, while PCA-based dimensionality reduction reached an accuracy of 69.86%. This research highlights the potential of AI-driven approaches in clinical oncology, paving the way for more reliable diagnostic tools that can ultimately improve patient outcomes.


A new approach for predicting the Quality of Experience in multimedia services using machine learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In today's world, the Internet is recognized as one of the essentials of human life, playing a significant role in communications, business, and lifestyle. The quality of internet services can have widespread negative impacts on individual and social levels. Consequently, Quality of Service (QoS) has become a fundamental necessity for service providers in a competitive market aiming to offer superior services. The success and survival of these providers depend on their ability to maintain high service quality and ensure satisfaction.Alongside QoS, the concept of Quality of Experience (QoE) has emerged with the development of telephony networks. QoE focuses on the user's satisfaction with the service, helping operators adjust their services to meet user expectations. Recent research shows a trend towards utilizing machine learning and deep learning techniques to predict QoE. Researchers aim to develop accurate models by leveraging large volumes of data from network and user interactions, considering various real-world scenarios. Despite the complexity of network environments, this research provides a practical framework for improving and evaluating QoE. This study presents a comprehensive framework for evaluating QoE in multimedia services, adhering to the ITU-T P.1203 standard which includes automated data collection processes and uses machine learning algorithms to predict user satisfaction based on key network parameters. By collecting over 20,000 data records from different network conditions and users, the Random Forest model achieved a prediction accuracy of 95.8% for user satisfaction. This approach allows operators to dynamically allocate network resources in real-time, maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction with minimal costs.
