System and method for service gap identification
A system and a method for service gap identification is disclosed. The method comprises retrieving data on a network coverage area, dividing the network coverage area into a plurality of data sets, determining a first number of data sets of the plurality of data sets having a first number of poor coverage samples based on the retrieved data, and generating a service gap polygon based on the determined number of data sets having the first number of poor coverage samples.
1 . A method for service gap identification, the method comprising:
retrieving data on a network coverage area;
dividing the network coverage area into a plurality of data sets;
determining a first number of data sets of the plurality of data sets having a first number of poor coverage samples based on the retrieved data; and
generating a service gap polygon based on the determined number of data sets having the first number of poor coverage samples,
wherein the method further comprises determining a second number of data sets of the plurality of data sets to discard, and
wherein the second number of data sets are determined as each having a second number of poor coverage samples that is less than a predetermined threshold.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the retrieved data comprises at least one of geographical data, unified coverage layer data, clutter data, and a numberof reference signal receive power (RSRP) samples.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second number of data sets are determined to be discarded based on the second number of data sets belonging to a predefined clutter associated with a limited service availability physical site.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second number of data sets are determined to be discarded based on the second number of data sets belonging to another network coverage area.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the service gap polygon comprises connecting, with a line, two data sets, of the first number of data sets, that are determined to be within a predetermined distance threshold of each other.
6 . A system for service gap identification, the system comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
retrieve data on a network coverage area;
divide the network coverage area into a plurality of data sets;
determine a first number of data sets of the plurality of data sets having a first number of poor coverage samples based on the retrieved data; and
generate a service gap polygon based on the determined number of data sets having the first number of poor coverage samples,
wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine a second number of data sets of the plurality of data sets to discard, and
where in the second number of data sets are determined as each having a second number of poor coverage samples that is less than a predetermined threshold.
7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the retrieved data comprises at least one of geographical data, unified coverage layer data, clutter data, and a numberof reference signal receive power (RSRP) samples.
8 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the second number of data sets are determined to be discarded based on the second number of data sets belonging to a predefined clutter associated with a limited service availability physical site.
9 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the second number of data sets are determined to be discarded based on the second number of data sets belonging to another network coverage area.
10 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to generate the service gap polygon by connecting, with a line, two data sets, of the first number of data sets, that are determined to be within a predetermined distance threshold of each other.
11 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
retrieve data on a network coverage area;
divide the network coverage area into a plurality of data sets;
determine a first number of data sets of the plurality of data sets having a first number of poor coverage samples based on the retrieved data; and
generate a service gap polygon based on the determined number of data sets having the first number of poor coverage samples,
wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the at least one processor to determine a second number of data sets of the plurality of data sets to discard, and
where in the second number of data sets are determined as each having a second number of poor coverage samples that is less than a predetermined threshold.
12 . The storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the retrieved data comprises at least one of geographical data, unified coverage layer data, clutter data, and a number of reference signal receive power (RSRP) samples.
13 . The storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the second number of data sets are determined to be discarded based on the second number of data sets belonging to a predefined clutter associated with a limited service availability physical site.
14 . The storage medium of claim 11 wherein the second number of data sets are determined to be discarded based on the second number of data sets belonging to another network coverage area.
