Cellular communication network is managed by receiving at a computing device certain data specifying geolocation information of one or more user equipment in communication with one or more nodes of the cellular communication system. The computing device identifies a disruption in receipt of the periodic geolocation information, and uses the received geolocation information to at least partially define a location of a peripheral edge of a communication dead zone. The peripheral edge information is used to facilitate a dynamic modification or control of the cellular communication network and/or the user equipment.
