Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING A COVERAGE IMPROVEMENTFIELD OF DISCLOSURE

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to network performance management systems. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to method and system for performing a coverage improvement.BACKGROUND

[0002] The following description of the related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art.

[0003] Wireless communication technology has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, with each generation bringing significant improvements and advancements. The first generation of wireless communication technology was based on analog technology and offered only voice services. However, with the advent of the second-generation (2G) technology, digital communication and data services became possible, and text messaging was introduced. 3G technology marked the introduction of high-speed internet access, mobile video calling, and location-based services. The fourth generation (4G) technology revolutionized wireless communication with faster data speeds, better network coverage, and improved security. Currently, the fifth generation (5G) technology is being deployed, promising even faster data speeds, low latency, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. With each generation, wireless communication technology has become more advanced, sophisticated, and capable of delivering more services to its users.

[0004] In telecommunication network, it is extremely important to identify areas where user experience is poor. There may be various reasons for such poor user experience. The signal strength of a wireless network decreases as it travels through various materials such as walls, ceilings, and floors. This can result in areas with poor signal coverage or even complete dead zones. The wireless signals can also reflect off surfaces and create multipath interference, which can result in signal distortion, signal cancellation, and reduced coverage. Further, high density environments such as large buildings or crowded public areas can strain network capacity and lead to congestion, resulting in reduced coverage and slower data transfer speeds. It is also possible thatlimited budget has limited the number of antennae, resulting in areas with poor coverage. Coverage hole planning is done after network roll out based on field inputs i.e. drive test data and customer complaints and / or field optimization. This data for coverage planning is inadequate and often used without checking the consistency of issues. Therefore, it is pertinent to improve coverage in areas experiencing high levels of bad user experience.

[0005] Thus, there exists an imperative need in the art of a method and a system for performing a coverage improvement, which the present disclosure aims to address.SUMMARY
