Abstract:
Detecting and remediating fraud on a wireless communications network is described. Trace reports corresponding to nodes and user equipment may be received. Two or more user equipment and associated with a common user may be indicative of fraud. Two or more user equipment may be instructed to identify their precise location, such as via a minimization of drive-testing system of the node and/or UE. Upon receiving a first precise location associated with a first user equipment and a second precise location associated with a second user equipment, and accessing a historical record of the common user, a comparison may be performed. Based upon this, one or more user equipment may be identified as fraudulent. Various remedial actions may be instructed related to at least one of the first node or the first user equipment.
