What Nokia is looking for:

A geolocation algorithm (embedded in a piece of SW) that could locate the device (or user equipment) as accurate as possible in the 5G network. We already have such SW for 3G and 4G networks, but we are looking for an adequate 5G solution.
The required algorithm should work primarily without the GPS information from devices.

The current methods used are CPU and Time intensive, with accuracy that is not suitable for all aspects of network validation.

Looking for an efficient algorithm or SW installed on a central server that would provide:

• Low intensity – number of CPU to produce results

• Accurate – low error location

• Fast – seconds per quantity of sites

It is assumed that a team composed with skills such as mathematics, Machine Learning, data analytical experience and software would be required to achieve this objective.

The solution has to combine available data sets and apply several proprietary algorithms to provide geo-enriched data streams.
It will be based on input mostly composed of the Transmit Radio Network (e.g. Sites, Power, Neighbor info etc…) and Received devices feedback information (e.g. power measured etc…) to provide an enriched data stream to be used to validate site performance and configurations. The resulting data shall deliver a confidence level of accuracy for each geo-located sample.

You can find more details of the data structure and the generic network topology in the attachments.

Who can create a challenge?

  • If you want to publish a challenge on the NokiaPartners - Open communities and get support from the community to solve your problems, you first need to be registered on the platform. Then you need to contact the NokiaPartners - Open communities administrator in the Community section. They will create the challenge for you. Search for “admin” in the Community section, and click on “Nokia Admin” to contact and ask for your challenge to be created.

 

How do I submit an answer/proposal?

  • To contribute to a challenge, first open the challenge page, and then click on the "start proposal" button on the right-hand-side. A new page will appear with different text fields to fill in and attachments to include. You can also link to an existing project you have previously created on the platform. Once you have finished, click on submit.
  • If you save as draft, your submission will not be completed and will not be submitted to the challenge owner.

 

What happens once I submit?

  • Once you have submitted your proposal, your ‘Challenge Submission Form’ becomes accessible by the creator or the challenge, who can see and edit your proposal. Through the challenge page, only the owner of the challenge can see the different proposals submitted against his/her challenge. It is up to the challenge owner to inform participants about decisions and potential next steps.
  • To note, when you save a submission as draft, it is not submitted to the challenge owner.

 

Who can see my proposal?

  • The owner of the challenge, the submission review committee, and the NokiaPartners - Open communities Administrator team are the only ones who can see your proposed ideas and solutions to the challenge.

 

What happens if my proposal is successful?

  • For each challenge, submission review and selection process is different and the responsibility of the challenge owner. If your project is selected, the owner of the challenge will come back to you with further guidance on the next steps.

 

What happens if it is unsuccessful?

  • For each challenge, submission review and selection process is different and the responsibility of the challenge owner. If your project is not shortlisted, the owner of the challenge will inform you using the messaging features of NokiaPartners - Open communities. Your proposed ideas will then be removed/deleted from challenge submissions.
