Management Data Analytics for Integrated Wireless Coverage Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems lack effective methods for analyzing coverage problems, particularly in Open RAN networks, due to the absence of defined measurements and location data integration for management data analytics (MDA), which hinders efficient network optimization.
Innovation Solution
Implementing systems and methods for wireless communications that utilize measurements such as SS-RSRP distribution, RSRP distribution, Timing Advance, and UE Context Release Requests, along with geographical data and service relations between MDA Management Function (MnF) and Location Management Function (LMF) to support coverage problem analysis, leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If measurement data and location data integration is implemented for coverage analysis, then network optimization capability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a management data analytics (MDA) function as an intermediary component that collects, processes, and analyzes measurement data from multiple sources (RSRP, SS-RSRP, Timing Advance, UE Context Release Requests) and location data from the LMF. This mediator consolidates the complexity of data integration within a dedicated analytics function, allowing the core network elements to maintain their existing simplicity while enabling comprehensive coverage analysis through the MDA's processing capabilities.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive measurements and location data are collected for analytics, then analysis precision is improved, but data processing overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the location management function (LMF) and management service producers pre-process and prepare location data and measurement data respectively before analytics are requested. The MDA function subscribes to and receives pre-organized data streams including SS-RSRP distribution, RSRP distribution, Timing Advance distribution, and UE Context Release Request data. This pre-preparation reduces the processing time required when actual coverage analytics need to be generated, as the data is already collected and organized in ready-to-analyze formats.
