Abstract

Claims (54)

1 . A method, performed by at least one processor, for identifying new growth areas in a telecommunications network, the method comprising:

obtaining first data from a first data source;

obtaining second data from a second data source;

combining the first data and the second data into third data;

based on the third data, creating a grid including tiles having a first area and a first characteristic; and

generating a new growth area polygon based on a number of the tiles having the first area and the first characteristic,

wherein the generating the new growth area polygon comprises:

identifying a midpoint for each edge of each tile having the first area and the first characteristic, and generating a line between the midpoint of each tile having the first characteristic and the first area; or

generating a line surrounding an outside edge of every tile having the first characteristic and the first area.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the new growth area polygon comprises:

identifying the midpoint for each edge of each tile having the first area and the first characteristic;

generating the line between the midpoint of each tile having the first characteristic and the first area;

determining an area of the new growth area polygon; and

transmitting the area of the new growth area polygon to a telecommunications network operator.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the new growth area polygon comprises generating the line surrounding the outside edge of every tile having the first characteristic and the first area;

determining an area of the new growth area polygon; and

transmitting the area of the new growth area polygon to a telecommunications network operator.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first data is drive test data and the second data is geographic data.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the new growth area polygon to a telecommunications network operator.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first characteristic is being a no coverage area.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein determining the tile is a no coverage area comprises determining the tile comprises an RSRP value below a predetermined threshold.

8 . An apparatus for identifying new growth areas in a telecommunications network, the apparatus comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

obtain first data from a first data source;

obtain second data from a second data source;

combine the first data and the second data into third data;

based on the third data, create a grid including tiles having a first area and a first characteristic; and

generate a new growth area polygon based on a number of the tiles having the first area and the first characteristic,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

identify a midpoint for each edge of each tile having the first area and the first characteristic, and generate a line between the midpoint of each tile having the first characteristic and the first area; or

generate a line surrounding an outside edge of every tile having the first characteristic and the first area.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

identify the midpoint for each edge of each tile having the first area and the first characteristic;

generate the line between the midpoint of each tile having the first characteristic and the first area;

determine an area of the new growth area polygon; and

transmit the area of the new growth area polygon to a telecommunications network operator.

10 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

generate the line surrounding an outside edge of every tile having the first characteristic and the first area;

determine an area of the new growth area polygon; and

transmit the area of the new growth area polygon to a telecommunications network operator.

11 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first data is drive test data and the second data is geographic data.

12 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to transmit the new growth area polygon to a telecommunications network operator.

13 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first characteristic is being a no coverage area.

14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to determine the tile comprises an RSRP value below a predetermined threshold.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon instructions executable by at least one processor, for identifying new growth areas in a telecommunications network, the method comprising:

obtaining first data from a first data source;

obtaining second data from a second data source;

combining the first data and the second data into third data;

based on the third data, creating a grid including tiles having a first area and a first characteristic; and

generating a new growth area polygon based on a number of the tiles having the first area and the first characteristic,

wherein the generating the new growth area polygon comprises:

identifying a midpoint for each edge of each tile having the first area and the first characteristic, and generating a line between the midpoint of each tile having the first characteristic and the first area; or

generating a line surrounding an outside edge of every tile having the first characteristic and the first area.
