Análisis de expansión de redes de telefonía móvil empleando procesos Gaussianos Analysis of the expansion of a GSM network using Gaussian Processes

the expansion plan of a Global System Mo- bile (GSM) network requires the analysis of some im- portant variables known as key performance indicators (KPI) on the network. Network operators have tools for analyzing a KPI behavior on a particular network cell. This paper proposes a tool that illustrates graphically the behavior-in-time of a KPI in a whole geographical zone (including cell positions). A Gaussian process re- pressor is used over a real data set and time-space infe- rence is performed. Finally we observe how a particular region presents high-KPI values most of the time. This alerts the network operator for including a solution in the formulation phase of the network expansion plan.
