Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 17:
18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which are executable by one or more processors, for:
obtaining, by a computing device, field data of user equipment (UE) devices for a group of cells covering a geographic area of interest during a time interval, wherein the field data includes signal strength measurements;
computing cell boundaries for each cell of the group of cells based on the field data;
predicting signal strength values inside each of the cell boundaries for a future period;
computing a cumulative overlap feature and a weighted signal strength feature within the geographic area of interest for each cell of the group of cells during the future time period;
generating an energy consumption predictive model that applies the cumulative overlap feature and the weighted signal strength feature for the future time period; and
determining, based on the energy consumption predictive model, first cell boundaries that correspond to a reduced energy consumption needed to meet service requirements during the future time period.
