Solution Overview
Problem
Current drive test methods for network information collection in wireless communication systems are limited by their regional scope and lack of real-time data analysis, requiring post-processing and failing to provide timely and spatially accurate network information.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for analyzing network information in a wireless communication system by receiving channel quality data from terminals and determining carrier aggregation (CA) coverage mismatch, enabling more accurate and real-time analysis through the use of a communication unit and output unit that processes and visualizes this data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If drive test scheme is used to collect network information, then data can be collected in a systematic manner, but the data collection is limited to the regional route and requires post-processing without real-time analysis
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having terminals pre-configure measurement parameters and automatically perform channel quality measurements and location tracking in real-time as they move through the network, eliminating the need for post-processing and enabling immediate network information analysis
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical drive test system (vehicles, physical movement along routes) with a wireless-based system where terminals use their built-in sensors and communication capabilities to autonomously collect and report network information, enabling real-time data acquisition without physical constraints
2Loss of information
If drive test is conducted to collect network data, then valuable information can be generated through post-processing, but the method has burden of post-processing and lacks real-time information capability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling terminals to autonomously perform measurements, determine their locations using GPS or other positioning methods, evaluate channel quality, and automatically report findings to the network operator without requiring external post-processing intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by establishing a real-time communication channel where measurement results are immediately transmitted to the network operator, enabling continuous monitoring and real-time decision-making based on current network conditions
3Measurement precision
If vast data is collected from user terminals for network analysis, then temporally and spatially more accurate analysis is achieved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the network into discrete geographic areas and analyzing channel quality data for each area separately, allowing detailed local analysis without being overwhelmed by the complexity of processing all network data simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by tailoring the analysis to specific geographic locations and carrier frequencies, evaluating CA coverage mismatch characteristics for each local area rather than applying uniform analysis across the entire network
