[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] In this article, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0035] The terms "first" and "second," etc., used in the specification and drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects or to distinguish different treatments of the same object, rather than to describe a specific order of objects.

[0036] Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, used in the description of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the steps or units listed, but may optionally include other steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0037] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0038] In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0039] With the continuous development of communication technology, different operators are co-constructing and sharing base stations in a complementary coverage manner. By merging and sharing base stations, the resource utilization rate of shared base stations can be improved, and network costs can be reduced. For base station resources that are close to or co-located by different operators, site merging is carried out according to the principle of less than 100 meters in county towns and less than 300 meters in rural areas. Through merging and sharing, the resource utilization rate of shared base stations can be improved, and network costs can be reduced.

[0040] In related technologies, the current method for determining the location of base stations during base station merging involves a polling approach. Each potential base station is sequentially matched with the nearest base station from the same operator and the nearest base station from a different operator to calculate the site distance. This distance is then combined with the base station's coverage radius and the angle between the vectors to determine whether the potential base station meets the conditions for co-construction, sharing, and merging of resources. Examples include methods 1 and 2 below.

[0041] Method 1: For a base station to be added by a candidate operator, determine the nearest distance to the base station of the same operator. Each time, select a candidate operator and determine the nearest distance to the base station of a different operator. Calculate the minimum coverage radius of the base station to be added. Use the minimum coverage radius and the search coefficient to calculate the search radius of the base station to be added. Use the nearest distance to the different operator to calculate the coverage radius of the pre-added site. Determine whether the first judgment condition of potential demand is met. If the first judgment condition of potential demand is met, then the base station to be added is selected as the pre-added site of the candidate operator. The first judgment condition of potential demand is that the search radius is less than or equal to the coverage radius of the pre-added site. If the first condition for determining the potential demand is not met, find the nearest same-operator base station of the nearest different-operator base station and determine the nearest same-operator distance between the nearest different-operator base station and the nearest same-operator base station. Calculate the verification coverage radius using the nearest same-operator distance between the nearest different-operator base station and the nearest same-operator base station. Then, calculate the verification value using the verification coverage radius and the search coefficient. Determine whether the second condition for determining the potential demand is met. If the second condition for determining the potential demand is met, the site of the base station to be added is selected as a pre-added site for the candidate operator. The second condition for determining the potential demand is that the verification value is less than or equal to the coverage radius of the pre-added site. The base station site distribution information includes: base station name, station type, longitude, and latitude.

[0042] Method 2: Input the base station site distribution information, co-location threshold, and search coefficient of multiple operators in a region. Identify one operator from among these operators as the potential addition operator, and the remaining operators as candidate operators. Base stations from the operator to be merged are designated as potential merge base stations. Identify one operator to be merged as the potential addition operator, and its base stations as potential addition base stations. Determine whether the potential merge base station is a pre-added site of a candidate operator using the aforementioned potential demand method. For the potential merge base station, base stations from candidate operators that have a co-location relationship with it are designated as candidate merge base stations. For the potential merge base station, identify all candidate merge base stations. Determine whether all potential addition base stations from all operators are pre-added sites and output a base station sharing planning table. Find the candidate merge base stations from all potential merge base stations from all operators to obtain the co-location relationship between any two operators and output a base station co-construction and sharing planning table.

[0043] Both Method 1 and Method 2 mentioned above suffer from large computational workload, low output efficiency, and only consider the distance between base stations, resulting in a single factor being considered.

[0044] In view of this, this application proposes a method for determining the construction location of merged base stations. The method involves a device for determining the construction location of merged base stations (hereinafter referred to as the location determination device) acquiring location data of N base stations from multiple operators within a target area, as well as multiple signal strength values ​​for each of the N base stations. Based on the location data of the N base stations, the method clusters the N base stations to obtain M base station sets. Through this technical solution, base stations with adjacent geographical relationships are accurately identified as a set. Based on the multiple signal strength values ​​of each base station, within the overlapping coverage area of ​​base stations in a base station set, the location determination device determines the proportion of signal strength values ​​greater than a first threshold for each base station as a first proportion, thus obtaining the coverage capability of each base station within the overlapping coverage area. Then, the location determination device compares the first proportions of multiple base stations in a base station set and determines the base station with the largest first proportion as the target base station. Finally, the location determination device determines the base station with the strongest coverage capability within the overlapping coverage area as the target base station, thereby determining the location of the target base station as the construction location of the merged base station. Compared to existing technologies that only consider the geographical distance between base stations, this method suffers from the problem of considering only one factor. The above technical solution accurately identifies the base station with the strongest coverage capability within the overlapping coverage area of ​​each base station set by considering its location and the coverage capability of each base station.

[0045] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Figure 1 This is an architecture diagram of a system 10 for determining the construction location of merged base stations, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the construction location determination system 10 for the merged base station includes: a construction location determination device 101 for the merged base station and a data server 102.

[0047] The device for determining the construction location of the merged base station 101 and the data server 102 can be one or more, depending on the specific configuration. Figure 1 Only one is shown in the image.

[0048] The base station construction location determination device 101 and the data server 102 are connected via a communication link. This communication link can be a wired communication link or a wireless communication link, and this application does not limit it in this way.

[0049] One possible implementation is, such as Figure 2As shown, the base station construction location determination device 101 collects base station operating parameters from different operators and corresponding measurement reports for each base station, standardizes the format of the base station operating parameters, and uniformly identifies and names the latitude and longitude fields of the base station operating parameters. Then, the base station construction location determination device 101 clusters the base stations using algorithms and pre-defined merging rules to determine multiple clustered base station sets. The base station construction location determination device 101 determines the measurement reports corresponding to multiple base stations to be shared, and based on the measurement reports of multiple base stations to be shared, determines the base station with the strongest coverage capability among the multiple base stations to be shared.

[0050] One possible implementation involves the base station location determination device 101 receiving information from multiple operators regarding base station site names, types, longitudes, latitudes, and azimuth angles from a data server 102. The device 101 uniformly identifies the longitude and latitude information and identifies each base station's technical parameters with its corresponding operator name. The device 101 performs geolocation processing on each technical parameter, changing the format of the longitude and latitude information for each parameter.

[0051] For example, the base station construction location determination device 101 names the longitude information field of each base station as "lon" and the latitude information field of each base station as "lat," and identifies the operating parameters of each base station with the corresponding operator name. The process of identifying longitude, latitude, and operator name is as follows:

[0052] ucellinfo = pd.read_sql_table('ORACL network parameter 4G', con = enginenetwork)

[0053] ucellinfo.rename(columns={'ang':'Ang'}, inplace=True)

[0054] ucellinfo['sitid']=ucellinfo.oid.apply(lambda x:str(x).split('.')[1])

[0055] ucellinfo.rename(columns={'ci':'Ci'}, inplace=True)

[0056] ucellinfo.drop_duplicates(['sitid', 'lon', 'lat'], inplace=True)

[0057] ucellinfo.rename(columns={'lon':'Lon', 'lat': 'Lat'}, inplace=True)

[0058] ucellinfo['attribute'] = 'corresponding carrier name'

[0059] For example, using the Python geopandas library, the base station construction location determination device 101 changes the format of the longitude and latitude information of each engineering parameter to geo-geographic fields. Specifically, the process of changing the format of the longitude and latitude information to geo-geographic fields is as follows:

[0060] cellinfo['band']=cellinfo[['lon','lat']].apply(lambda

[0061] x:Point(x['lon'], x['lat']), axis=1)

[0062] cellgeo=gpd.GeoDataFrame(cellinfo, geometry='band', crs=4326)

[0063] cellgeo.to_crs(crs=2415, inplace=True)

[0064] One possible implementation uses the Density-Based Noise Spatial Clustering (DBSCAN) library in Python. The base station location determination device 101 defines a scanning radius (eps) and a minimum number of points (minPts). During the calculation process using the DBSCAN library, the device 101 selects an unmarked base station from multiple base stations as the target base station and determines all base stations within and from the target base station's eps. If the number of base stations within and from the target base station's eps is less than minPts, the target base station is marked as an inaccessible noise point. If the number of base stations within and from the target base station's eps is greater than or equal to minPts, the target base station, its eps, and all base stations within its eps are grouped into a cluster, and the target base station is marked as visited. For any unmarked base stations within this cluster, the above operation is repeated until all points within the cluster are marked, at which point the cluster expansion is considered complete, and the recursion ends.

[0065] For example, such as Figure 3As shown, the base station construction location determination device 101 obtains multiple clustered base station sets using the density-based noise spatial clustering (DBSCAN) library. Clustered base station set 1 includes one base station from operator A and one base station from operator B. Clustered base station set 2 includes three base stations from operator A and one base station from operator B. Clustered base station set 3 includes two base stations from operator A and one base station from operator B. Clustered base station set 4 includes one base station from operator A and one base station from operator B.

[0066] One possible implementation is that the base station construction location determination device 101 adds the label of each cluster obtained from clustering to each engineering parameter data. For each cluster, the base station construction location determination device 101 determines whether the multiple base stations in the cluster belong to the same operator. When the multiple base stations in the cluster belong to the same operator, the base station construction location determination device 101 deletes the multiple engineering parameters corresponding to that cluster. Specifically, the process of the base station construction location determination device 101 deleting the multiple engineering parameters corresponding to the cluster is as follows:

[0067] X = sitall[['Lon', 'Lat']]

[0068] db=DBSCAN(eps=100, min_samples=2, metric=get_DBSCANdistance).fit(X)

[0069] labels = db.labels_

[0070] sitall['cluster_db'] = labels

[0071] #Removing incorrect filters caused by the shared addressing of telecommunications companies

[0072] selectclu = []

[0073] for i in set(sitall['cluster_db'][sitall.cluster_db!=-1]):

[0074] tempsit=sitall[sitall.cluster_db==i]

[0075] if 'China Telecom' is in ".join(tempsit['attribute'])and 'China Unicom' is in ".join(tempsit['attribute']):

[0076] selectclu.append(i)

[0077] else:

[0078] print(tempsit)

[0079] sitall=sitall[sitall.cluster_db.isin(selectclu)]

[0080] One possible implementation is that the base station construction location determination device 101 further selects the base station with the best coverage capability in the overlapping coverage area by comparing the performance indicators such as the coverage range and coverage intensity of the base stations, for multiple engineering parameter datasets generated by clustering through distance relationships.

[0081] For example, for multiple base stations corresponding to each engineering parameter dataset, the base station construction location determination device 101 receives multiple measurement reports (MR) from each base station from the data server 102, extracts cell number, longitude, latitude, and field strength from each measurement report, and transforms the extracted information into geo-geographic fields. Specifically, the process of transforming the format of longitude and latitude information into geo-geographic fields is as follows:

[0082] hull=ConvexHull(mrhull[['Lat', 'Lon']].values).vertices.tolist()

[0083] hull.append(hull[0])

[0084] mrband = mrhull.loc[hull]

[0085] mrcon=pd.DataFrame(mrband, columns=['Ci', 'mrband'])

[0086] mrcon=gpd.GeoDataFrame(mrband, geometry='mrband', crs=4326)

[0087] The base station construction location determination device 101 generates an overlapping coverage area of ​​multiple base stations corresponding to an engineering parameter dataset using the geographic cross-coverage relationship calculation function `intersection`. The device 101 determines the field strength of each base station and the total number of field strengths exceeding a preset threshold for each base station within the overlapping coverage area. The device 101 determines the ratio of the number of field strengths exceeding the preset threshold to the total number of field strengths within the overlapping coverage area. The device 101 compares the ratios of multiple base stations and determines the base station with the largest ratio as the base station with the optimal coverage capability within the engineering parameter dataset.

[0088] Specifically, the process of generating overlapping coverage areas is as follows:

[0089] selectisotemp['interarea']=selectisotemp['mrband'].intersection(mc['mrban d'])

[0090] In one possible implementation, the data server 102 includes a base station engineering parameter storage center and an MR data storage center. The data server 102 is used to send information such as the base station site name, type, longitude, latitude, and azimuth angle of multiple operators in the base station engineering parameter storage center, as well as multiple measurement report information of each base station in the MR data storage center, to the construction location determination device 101 for merging base stations.

[0091] When implemented in hardware, the various modules in the system 10 for determining the construction location of merged base stations can be integrated into the device for determining the construction location of merged base stations. Specifically, for example... Figure 4 As shown, the basic hardware structure of the device for determining the construction location of merged base stations is introduced.

[0092] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a device for determining the construction location of a merged base station, provided as an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the device for determining the construction location of the merged base station includes at least one processor 401, a communication line 402, and at least one communication interface 404, and may also include a memory 403. The processor 401, memory 403, and communication interface 404 can be connected via the communication line 402.

[0093] The processor 401 may be a central processing unit (CPU), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or one or more integrated circuits configured to implement the embodiments of this application, such as one or more digital signal processors (DSPs), or one or more field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

[0094] Communication line 402 may include a path for transmitting information between the aforementioned components.

[0095] Communication interface 404 is used to communicate with other devices or communication networks. It can use any transceiver-like device, such as Ethernet, radio access network (RAN), wireless local area network (WLAN), etc.

[0096] The memory 403 may be a read-only memory (ROM) or other type of static storage device capable of storing static information and instructions, random access memory (RAM) or other type of dynamic storage device capable of storing information and instructions, or electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM) or other optical disc storage, optical disc storage (including compressed optical discs, laser discs, optical discs, digital universal optical discs, Blu-ray discs, etc.), magnetic disk storage media or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium capable of including or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and accessible by a computer, but not limited thereto.

[0097] In one possible design, the memory 403 can exist independently of the processor 401, meaning the memory 403 can be an external memory of the processor 401. In this case, the memory 403 can be connected to the processor 401 via a communication line 402 to store execution instructions or application code, and its execution is controlled by the processor 401 to implement the method for determining the construction location of the merged base station provided in the following embodiments of this application.

[0099] It should be noted that the various embodiments of this application can be referenced or learned from each other. For example, the same or similar steps, method embodiments, system embodiments and device embodiments can be referenced from each other without limitation.

[0100] Figure 5 A flowchart illustrating a method for determining the construction location of merged base stations provided in this application embodiment is available. This method can be applied to, for example... Figure 4 The device shown is used to determine the construction location of the merged base station. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the method includes the following S501-S504.

[0101] S501, the construction location determination device for merged base stations (hereinafter referred to as the location determination device) acquires the location data of N base stations of multiple operators in the target area, as well as multiple signal strength values ​​of each of the N base stations.

[0102] Where N is a positive integer.

[0103] One possible implementation involves the location determination device acquiring the longitude and latitude information of each of N base stations from multiple operators within a target area, and acquiring the signal strength values ​​received by multiple users within the coverage area of ​​each base station.

[0104] S502. The location determination device clusters the N base stations based on their location data to obtain a set of M base stations.

[0105] Where M is a positive integer, and M is less than or equal to N.

[0106] It should be noted that the location determination device can cluster N base stations using various clustering methods in related technologies, and this application does not limit this.

[0107] For example, the location determination device clusters N base stations to obtain M base station sets. The clustering results satisfy the following conditions: the minimum distance between a base station in the first base station set and other base stations in the first base station set is less than a second threshold. The first base station set is any one of the M base station sets. The minimum distance between a base station in the first base station set and any one of the base stations in the second base station set is greater than the second threshold. The second base station set is a set of base stations in the M base station sets that is different from the first base station set.

[0108] S503, The location determination device determines the target base station for each of the M base station sets based on multiple signal strength values ​​of each base station.

[0109] Specifically, the first proportion of the target base station in a base station set is greater than the first proportion of other base stations in the base station set. The first proportion is the percentage of signal strength values ​​of a base station that are greater than a first threshold within the overlapping coverage area of ​​the base stations in the base station set.

[0110] One possible implementation is that the location determination device performs the following target operation on each of the M base station sets to determine the target base station for each base station set.

[0111] The target operation includes the following steps 1-4:

[0112] Step 1: The location determination device determines the overlapping coverage area of ​​the base stations in the target base station set.

[0113] The target base station set is any one of the M base station sets.

[0114] For example, taking a target base station set that includes base station A and base station B as an example, the overlapping area between the coverage areas of base station A and base station B is the overlapping coverage area of ​​base station A and base station B.

[0115] Step 2: The location determination device determines a first number of signal strength values ​​of each base station in the target base station set in the overlapping coverage area, and a second number of signal strength values ​​of each base station in the overlapping coverage area that are greater than a first threshold.

[0116] For example, consider a base station A with 10 signal strength values ​​within an overlapping coverage area. These 10 signal strength values ​​are 10dB, 9dB, 11dB, 10dB, 12dB, 10dB, 9dB, 4dB, 5dB, and 12dB, with a first threshold of 9dB. The location determination device determines that the signal strength values ​​greater than 9dB are 10dB, 11dB, 10dB, 12dB, 10dB, and 12dB, thus determining that the number of signal strength values ​​greater than 9dB is 6.

[0117] Step 3: The location determination device determines the first proportion of each base station based on the first number and the second number of each base station.

[0118] For example, taking base station A as having a first quantity of 10 and a second quantity of 6, and base station B as having a first quantity of 10 and a second quantity of 7, the location determining device determines that within the overlapping coverage area, the proportion of signal strength values ​​of base station A that are greater than a first threshold is 60%. Similarly, the location determining device determines that within the overlapping coverage area of ​​base station B, the proportion of signal strength values ​​of base station B that are greater than the first threshold is 70%.

[0119] Step 4: The location determination device determines the first base station with the largest proportion in the target base station set as the target base station in the target base station set.

[0120] For example, as shown in Table 1, the target base station set 1 includes base station A and base station B, with base station A having a first percentage of 87.76% and base station B having a first percentage of 95.30%. The location determination device compares the first percentage of base station A (87.76%) with the first percentage of base station B (95.30%). The location determination device determines that 95.30% is greater than 87.76%, thereby determining that base station B is a target base station in the target base station set 1.

[0121] For example, as shown in Table 1, the target base station set 2 includes base station C and base station D, with base station C having a first percentage of 92.18% and base station D having a first percentage of 86.20%. The location determination device compares the first percentage of base station C (92.18%) with the first percentage of base station D (86.20%). The location determination device determines that 92.18% is greater than 86.20%, thus determining that base station C is the target base station in the target base station set 2.

[0124]

[0125] S504, The location determination device determines the location of the target base station as the construction location of the merged base station.

[0126] For example, taking base station B as the target base station, with longitude 120°W and latitude 30°N, the location determination device determines (30°N, 120°W) as the construction location for the merged base station.

[0127] In view of this, this application proposes a method for determining the construction location of merged base stations. The method involves a device for determining the construction location of merged base stations (hereinafter referred to as the location determination device) acquiring location data of N base stations from multiple operators within a target area, as well as multiple signal strength values ​​for each of the N base stations. Based on the location data of the N base stations, the method clusters the N base stations to obtain M base station sets. Through this technical solution, base stations with adjacent geographical relationships are accurately identified as a set. Based on the multiple signal strength values ​​of each base station, within the overlapping coverage area of ​​base stations in a base station set, the location determination device determines the proportion of signal strength values ​​greater than a first threshold for each base station as a first proportion, thus obtaining the coverage capability of each base station within the overlapping coverage area. Then, the location determination device compares the first proportions of multiple base stations in a base station set and determines the base station with the largest first proportion as the target base station. Finally, the location determination device determines the base station with the strongest coverage capability within the overlapping coverage area as the target base station, thereby determining the location of the target base station as the construction location of the merged base station. Compared to existing technologies that only consider the geographical distance between base stations, this method suffers from the problem of considering only one factor. The above technical solution accurately identifies the base station with the strongest coverage capability within the overlapping coverage area of ​​each base station set by considering its location and the coverage capability of each base station.

[0128] As one possible embodiment of this application, combined with Figure 5 ,like Figure 6 As shown, the process by which the location determination device in S502 clusters the N base stations based on their location data to obtain a set of M base stations can also be implemented through the following S601-S611.

[0129] S601, The location determination device randomly selects one base station from N unmarked base stations as the first base station.

[0130] For example, consider base station 1 located at (0, 0), base station 2 at (20, 0), base station 3 at (30, 20), base station 4 at (-60, 20), base station 5 at (50, -50), and base station 6 at (120, 80). The location determination device selects one of base station 1, base station 2, base station 3, base station 4, base station 5, and base station 6 as the first base station.

[0131] S602, The location determination device determines whether the number of base stations within a preset radius centered on the first base station is greater than or equal to a second threshold.

[0132] For example, taking base station 1 as the first base station, a preset radius of 100m, a second threshold of 3, and the positions of base station 1 (0, 0), base station 2 (20, 0), base station 3 (30, 20), base station 4 (-60, 20), base station 5 (50, -50), and base station 6 (120, 80) as an example, the location determination device determines whether base stations 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are within the preset radius centered on the first base station.

[0133] S603. If the value is less than the second threshold, the location determination device marks the first base station as an inaccessible base station and returns to S601.

[0134] For example, taking a preset radius of 100m, a second threshold of 3, and the positions of the first base station (0, 0), the second base station (80, 0), the third base station (100, -120), the fourth base station (-110, 20), the fifth base station (100, -100), and the sixth base station (120, 80) as an example, the location determining device determines that the distance between base station 2 and the first base station is 80m, and the distance between base station 3 and the first base station is... The distance between base station 4 and the first base station is The distance between base station 5 and the first base station is The distance between base station 6 and the first base station is The location determination device determines that the distance between base station 2 and the first base station is 80m, which is less than the preset radius of 100m, and determines the distance between base station 3 and the first base station. The distance between base station 4 and the first base station is determined to be greater than the preset radius of 100m. The distance between base station 5 and the first base station is determined to be greater than the preset radius of 100m. The distance between base station 6 and the first base station is determined to be greater than the preset radius of 100m. The radius is greater than a preset radius of 100m. The location determining device determines that base station 2 is within a preset radius centered on the first base station. The location determining device determines that the number 2 of base stations within the preset radius centered on the first base station is less than a second threshold 3. The location determining device marks the first base station as an inaccessible base station and returns to S601, randomly selecting a base station from the N unmarked base stations as the first base station.

[0135] S604. If the location is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the location determination device marks the first base station as an visited base station and determines multiple base stations within the scanning radius of the first base station as a first set.

[0136] For example, taking a preset radius of 100m, a second threshold of 3, and the positions of the first base station (0, 0), base station 2 (20, 0), base station 3 (30, 20), base station 4 (-60, 20), base station 5 (50, -50), and base station 6 (120, 80) as an example, the location determining device determines the distance between base station 2 and the first base station to be 20m, and the distance between base station 3 and the first base station to be... The distance between base station 4 and the first base station is The distance between base station 5 and the first base station is The distance between base station 6 and the first base station is The location determination device determines that the distance between base station 2 and the first base station is 20m, which is less than the preset radius of 100m, and determines the distance between base station 3 and the first base station. The distance between base station 4 and the first base station is determined to be less than the preset radius of 100m. The distance between base station 5 and the first base station is determined to be less than the preset radius of 100m. The distance between base station 6 and the first base station is determined to be less than the preset radius of 100m. The location determination device determines that base stations 2, 3, 4, and 5 are within a preset radius centered on the first base station. The location determination device also determines that the number of base stations 5 within the preset radius centered on the first base station is greater than a second threshold 3. The location determination device marks the first base station as an visited base station and defines base stations 2, 3, 4, and 5 within the scanning radius of the first base station as a first set.

[0137] S605, The location determination device selects one base station from the unmarked base stations in the first set and the second set as the second base station.

[0138] The second set includes base stations within a preset radius centered on the second base station.

[0139] For example, taking base stations 2, 3, 4, and 5 as examples, which are not marked in the first set, the location determination device determines any one of base stations 2, 3, 4, and 5 as the second base station.

[0140] S606, The location determination device determines whether the number of base stations within a preset radius centered on the second base station is greater than or equal to a second threshold.

[0141] For example, taking base station 2 as the second base station, a preset radius of 100m, a second threshold of 3, and the positions of base station 2 (0, 0), base station 1 (-20, 0), base station 3 (10, 20), base station 4 (-80, 20), base station 5 (30, -50), and base station 6 (100, 80) as an example, the location determination device determines whether base station 1, base station 3, base station 4, base station 5, and base station 6 are within the preset radius centered on the second base station.

[0142] S607. If the value is less than the specified value, the location determination device will mark the second base station as an inaccessible base station and execute S609.

[0143] For example, taking a preset radius of 100m, a second threshold of 3, and the positions of the second base station (0, 0), base station 1 (80, 0), base station 3 (100, -120), base station 4 (-110, 20), base station 5 (100, -100), and base station 6 (120, 80) as an example, the location determining device determines the distance between base station 1 and the second base station to be 80m, and the distance between base station 3 and the second base station to be... The distance between base station 4 and the second base station is The distance between base station 5 and the second base station is The distance between base station 6 and the second base station is The location determination device determines that the distance between base station 2 and the second base station is 80m, which is less than the preset radius of 100m, and determines the distance between base station 3 and the second base station. The distance between base station 4 and the second base station is determined to be greater than the preset radius of 100m. The distance between base station 5 and the second base station is determined to be greater than the preset radius of 100m. The distance between base station 6 and the second base station is determined to be greater than the preset radius of 100m. The radius is greater than a preset 100m. The location determining device determines that base station 1 is within a preset radius centered on the second base station. The location determining device determines that the number 2 of base stations centered on the second base station within the preset radius is less than a second threshold 3. The location determining device marks the second base station as an inaccessible base station.

[0144] S608. If the value is greater than the target value, the location determination device marks the second base station as an visited base station and determines the at least one currently determined second base station and multiple base stations within the scanning radius of the first base station as a second set.

[0145] For example, taking a preset radius of 100m, a second threshold of 3, and the positions of the second base station (0, 0), base station 1 (-20, 0), base station 3 (10, 20), base station 4 (-80, 20), base station 5 (30, -50), and base station 6 (100, 80) as an example, the location determining device determines the distance between base station 1 and the second base station to be 20m, and the distance between base station 3 and the second base station to be... The distance between base station 4 and the second base station is The distance between base station 5 and the second base station is The distance between base station 6 and the second base station is The location determination device determines that the distance between base station 1 and the second base station is 20m, which is less than the preset radius of 100m, and determines the distance between base station 3 and the second base station. The distance between base station 4 and the second base station is determined to be less than the preset radius of 100m. The distance between base station 5 and the first base station is determined to be less than the preset radius of 100m. The distance between base station 6 and the first base station is determined to be less than the preset radius of 100m. The location determination device determines that base stations 1, 3, 4, and 5 are within a preset radius centered on the first base station. The location determination device also determines that the number of base stations 5 within the preset radius centered on the first base station is greater than a second threshold 3. The location determination device marks the second base station as an visited base station and defines the currently determined base stations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 as the second set.

[0146] S609, The location determination device determines whether all base stations in the current first set and second set have been marked.

[0147] For example, taking base stations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the first set, and base stations 4, 5, and 6 in the second set as an example, the location determination device determines whether all base stations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 have been marked.

[0148] S610. If so, the location determining device determines that the current first set and the current second set are a base station set.

[0149] For example, taking base stations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the first set, and base stations 4, 5, and 6 in the second set as an example, if all base stations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are marked, the location determination device determines that the current first set and the current second set constitute a single base station set.

[0150] S611. If not, the position determination device returns to execute S605.

[0151] For example, taking base stations 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the first set, and base stations 4, 5, and 6 in the second set, with base stations 1 and 4 marked as visited base stations and base station 6 marked as inaccessible base station as an example, the location determination device determines that not all of base stations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are marked, returns to step S405, and selects one base station from the unmarked base stations in the first set as the second base station.

[0152] Based on the above technical solution, the location determination device randomly selects one base station from N unmarked base stations as the first base station, and determines whether the number of base stations within a preset radius centered on the first base station is greater than or equal to a second threshold. If it is less than the second threshold, the location determination device marks the first base station as an inaccessible base station and randomly selects another base station from the N unmarked base stations as the first base station. If it is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the location determination device marks the first base station as an accessed base station and determines multiple base stations within the scanning radius of the first base station as a first set. The location determination device selects a base station from the unmarked base stations in the first set as a second base station. It then determines whether the number of base stations within a preset radius centered on the second base station is greater than or equal to a second threshold. If the number is less than a threshold, the second base station is marked as an inaccessible base station; if it is greater, it is marked as an accessed base station. The currently determined at least one second base station, along with multiple base stations within the scanning radius of the first base station, constitutes the second set. Compared to existing technologies that sequentially match and calculate the site distance for each base station to be added with the nearest base station from the same operator and the nearest base station from a different operator, resulting in a large computational load, the above technical solution marks some base stations as inaccessible base stations, avoiding redundant calculations for inaccessible base stations and significantly reducing the computational load. The location determination device then determines whether all base stations in the current first and second sets are marked. If so, the location determination device determines that the current first and second sets constitute a single base station set. If not, the location determination device reselects a base station from the unmarked base stations in the first set as the second base station. This technical solution can determine multiple base stations with adjacent geographical relationships.

[0153] As one possible embodiment of this application, combined with Figure 5 ,like Figure 7 As shown, prior to S503 above, when multiple base stations in the base station set belong to the same operator, the process of deleting the base station set by the location determination device can also be implemented through the following S701-S702.

[0154] S701, The location determination device determines the operator identifiers of multiple base stations in one of the M base station sets.

[0155] For example, in the case where the base station set 1 includes 4 base stations, the location determination device determines that the operator identifier of base station 1 is operator A, the operator identifier of base station 2 is operator A, the operator identifier of base station 3 is operator A, and the operator identifier of base station 4 is operator A.

[0156] S702. When multiple base stations have the same operator identifier, the location determination device deletes a set of base stations.

[0157] For example, the location determination device determines that the operator identifiers of base station 1, base station 2, base station 3, and base station 4 are the same, thereby deleting base station set 1.

[0158] Based on the above technical solution, the location determination device identifies the operator identifiers of multiple base stations within one of the M base station sets. If multiple base stations have the same operator identifier, the base station set is deleted. Since base stations from the same operator do not need to be co-built and shared, the above technical solution can delete a base station when multiple base stations in a base station set belong to the same operator, thereby reducing the computational load on the location determination device in subsequent target base station determination.

[0159] This application embodiment can divide the base station construction location determination device into functional modules or functional units according to the above method example. For example, each function can be divided into a separate functional module or functional unit, or two or more functions can be integrated into one processing module. The integrated module can be implemented in hardware or in software functional modules or functional units. The module or unit division in this application embodiment is illustrative and only represents one logical functional division; other division methods may be used in actual implementation.

[0160] like Figure 8 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a base station construction location determination device 80 provided in an embodiment of this application. The device includes a communication unit 801 and a processing unit 802.

[0161] The communication unit 801 is used to acquire the location data of N base stations of multiple operators in the target area, as well as multiple signal strength values ​​of each of the N base stations; N is a positive integer.

[0162] The processing unit 802 is used to cluster the N base stations based on their location data to obtain a set of M base stations; M is a positive integer; M is less than or equal to N.

[0163] The processing unit 802 is further configured to determine the target base station of each of the M base station sets based on multiple signal strength values ​​of each base station; wherein, the first proportion of the target base station of a base station set is greater than the first proportion of other base stations in the base station set; the first proportion is the proportion of signal strength values ​​of a base station that are greater than a first threshold in the overlapping coverage area of ​​the base stations in the base station set.

[0164] The processing unit 802 is also used to determine the location of the target base station as the construction location of the merged base station.

[0165] The minimum distance between a base station in the first base station set and other base stations in the first base station set is less than a second threshold; the first base station set is any one of the M base station sets; the minimum distance between a base station in the first base station set and any one of the second base station sets is greater than the second threshold; the second base station set is a set of M base stations that is different from the first base station set.

[0166] The processing unit 802 is further configured to, for one of the M base station sets, determine the operator identifiers of multiple base stations in a base station set; and delete a base station set if the operator identifiers of multiple base stations are the same.

[0167] The processing unit 802 is specifically configured to perform the following target operation on each of the M base station sets to determine the target base station for each base station set; the target operation includes: for the target base station set, determining the overlapping coverage area of ​​the base stations in the target base station set; the target base station set is any one of the M base station sets; determining a first number of signal strength values ​​of each base station in the target base station set in the overlapping coverage area; and a second number of signal strength values ​​of each base station in the overlapping coverage area that are greater than a first threshold; determining a first proportion of each base station based on the first and second numbers of each base station; and determining the base station with the largest first proportion in the target base station set as the target base station in the target base station set.

[0168] In one possible implementation, the base station construction location determination device 80 may further include a storage unit 803. Figure 8 (shown in dashed box) The storage unit 803 stores a program or instruction. When the processing unit 802 executes the program or instruction, the base station construction location determination device 80 can perform the base station construction location determination method described in the above method embodiment.
