1Reliability
If manual wireless communication design is performed by users, then communication quality can be optimized according to user needs, but the complexity and difficulty of the design process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs propagation loss calculations and generates communication design support data without requiring manual user intervention. The propagation loss calculation unit autonomously processes point cloud data and measurement data to produce optimized communication designs, eliminating the need for users to manually handle complex design procedures while maintaining high communication quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication design support apparatus acts as an intermediary between raw measurement data and final communication design decisions. It processes point cloud data, structure data, and propagation loss calculations through multiple functional units, providing users with pre-processed, optimized design recommendations that simplify the decision-making process while ensuring high communication quality.
2Productivity
If automatic propagation loss calculation is performed, then design efficiency is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary measurements and calculations by acquiring radio field intensity measurement data and point cloud data before the actual communication design process. The propagation loss calculation unit uses these pre-acquired data to compute propagation characteristics in advance, enabling efficient automated design while allowing sufficient time to conduct precise measurements without rushing the process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a virtual model of the measurement environment by generating structure data from point cloud data and associating it with propagation loss calculations. This digital copy of the physical environment allows for repeated automated analysis and optimization without requiring additional physical measurements, thereby improving design efficiency while maintaining measurement precision through the use of the created model.
