Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: obtaining, at a processor executing an analysis engine, a log from a data collection device associated with a cellular network, the log comprising subscriber data, cell identifier data, and time data; identifying, by the processor, a subscriber represented by the subscriber data; determining, by the processor and based on the cell identifier data and the time data, a vector associated with the subscriber, wherein the vector comprises a list of cell identifiers that correspond to two cells of the cellular network, wherein the two cells were visited by a device associated with the subscriber, wherein the vector represents a movement of the device, and wherein the time data represents a time at which a handoff associated with the device occurred between a first of the two cells and a second of the two cells; analyzing, by the processor, the vector to calculate a status associated with the subscriber at a cell of the vector determined, wherein the status is based on a distance travelled by the subscriber in the cell, which is based on a distance calculated between an entry point and an exit point associated with the cell; and storing, by the processor, status data that represents the status determined.
