1. A method of determining a geographic area associated with a cell of a cellular communications network, comprising:
(a) receiving a set of locations from mobile devices in the cell;
(f) determining the geographic area as a circle having the average geographic location as a center and a radius based on at least one calculated distance.
2. The method of claim 1, where the radius is calculated based on a longest distance between the average geographic location and the set.
3. The method of claim 1, where the exit condition is satisfied when a number of repetitions reaches a threshold number.
4. The method of claim 1, where the exit condition is satisfied when the radius of the circle reaches below a threshold radius.
5. The method of claim 1, where excluding the at least one location from the set includes:
one or more computers configured to perform operations of determining a geographic area associated with a cell of a cellular communications network, the operations comprising:
10. The system of claim 9, where the radius is calculated based on a longest distance between the average geographic location and the set.
11. The system of claim 9, where the exit condition is satisfied when a number of repetitions reaches a threshold number.
12. The system of claim 9, where the exit condition is satisfied when the radius of the circle reaches below a threshold radius.
13. The system of claim 9, where excluding the at least one location from the set includes:
14. The system of claim 9, where each of the locations in the set includes a latitude and a longitude.
15. The system of claim 14, where each of the locations in the set further includes an altitude.
16. The system of claim 9, the operations further comprising:
17. A computer program product tangibly stored on a storage device, operable to cause data processing apparatus to perform operations of determining a geographic area associated with a cell of a cellular communications network, the operations comprising:
18. The product of claim 17, where the radius is calculated based on a longest distance between the average geographic location and the set.
19. The product of claim 17, where the exit condition is satisfied when a number of repetitions reaches a threshold number.
20. The product of claim 17, where the exit condition is satisfied when the radius of the circle reaches below a threshold radius.
21. The product of claim 17, where excluding the at least one location from the set includes:
22. The product of claim 17, where each of the locations in the set includes a latitude and a longitude.
23. The product of claim 22, where each of the locations in the set further includes an altitude.
24. The product of claim 17, the operations further comprising:
