Network Site Prioritization Through Coverage And Geographic Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is no automated process for planning and prioritizing network sites, particularly in smaller regions, which affects network performance and customer satisfaction, leading to revenue loss and high churn rates.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for auto-prioritization of network sites using microservices to determine coverage availability, geographic conditions, and assign priority levels based on these factors, generating a report for each site.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automated prioritization system is implemented, then network deployment efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the prioritization process into distinct microservices: coverage availability assessment service, geographic conditions analysis service, and priority assignment service. Each microservice handles a specific aspect of the analysis independently, allowing the complex prioritization task to be divided into manageable, reusable components that can be developed and maintained separately while collectively solving the overall problem.
Solution Approach 2:
The microservices are designed with universal interfaces and standardized data formats that allow them to be reused across different network planning scenarios. The coverage availability service, geographic conditions service, and priority assignment service can handle multiple types of network sites and various prioritization criteria through a common architecture, reducing overall system complexity despite the sophisticated functionality provided.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive analysis of coverage availability and geographic conditions is performed, then prioritization accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary assessments of coverage availability and geographic conditions independently before the final priority assignment. The coverage availability microservice evaluates signal coverage metrics in advance, and the geographic conditions microservice analyzes location-based factors beforehand. These pre-computed results are then used by the priority assignment service to quickly determine final priorities, allowing comprehensive analysis without excessive processing time during critical deployment phases.
