Abstract

A method of identifying call drop areas includes dividing a network cluster into a plurality of grids, determining a call drop percentage of at least one first grid of the plurality of grids, determining whether the call drop percentage of the at least one first grid is greater than a predetermined call drop percentage threshold, and generating at least one call drop polygon including at least a portion of the at least one first grid based on determining that the call drop percentage of the at least one first grid is greater than the predetermined call drop percentage threshold.

Claims (55)

1 . A method of identifying call drop areas, the method comprising:

dividing a network cluster into a plurality of grids;

determining a call drop percentage of at least one first grid of the plurality of grids;

determining whether the call drop percentage of the at least one first grid is greater than a predetermined call drop percentage threshold; and

generating at least one call drop polygon comprising at least a portion of the at least one first grid based on determining that the call drop percentage of the at least one first grid is greater than the predetermined call drop percentage threshold.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the call drop percentage of the at least one first grid is determined based on drive test data comprising call drop key performance indicator (KPI) of user equipments (UEs) in the at least one first grid, the call drop KPIs indicating dropped calls in the at least one first grid.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a unique user percentage of the at least one first grid based on a first number of unique users in the at least one first grid and a second number of unique users in the network cluster; and

assigning a priority level to the at least one first grid based on the unique user percentage of the at least one first grid.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein assigning the priority level comprises assigning a high priority level based on the unique user percentage of the at least one first grid being greater than a predetermined unique user percentage threshold.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein assigning the priority level comprises assigning a low priority level based on the unique user percentage of the at least one first grid being less than a predetermined unique user percentage threshold.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, based on determining that the call drop percentage of the at least one first grid is greater than the predetermined call drop percentage threshold:

determining a call drop percentage of at least one second grid of the plurality of grids, the at least one second grid neighboring the at least one first grid; and

determining whether the call drop percentage of the at least one second grid is greater than the predetermined call drop percentage threshold,

wherein the at least one call drop polygon comprises at least a portion of the at least one second grid based on determining that the call drop percentage of the at least one second grid is greater than the predetermined call drop percentage threshold.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

dividing the network cluster into a plurality of tiles; and

obtaining morphology data corresponding to the plurality of tiles.

8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

determining, based on the morphology data, that at least one tile of the plurality of tiles comprises a morphology that indicates that data sets obtained from grids within the at least one tile are to be discarded;

determining that at least one grid of the plurality of grids is within the at least one tile; and

discarding data sets corresponding to the at least one grid that is within the at least one tile.

9 . A system for identifying call drop areas, comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

divide a network cluster into a plurality of grids;

determine a call drop percentage of at least one first grid of the plurality of grids;

determine whether the call drop percentage of the at least one first grid is greater than a predetermined call drop percentage threshold; and

generate at least one call drop polygon comprising at least a portion of the at least one first grid based on determining that the call drop percentage of the at least one first grid is greater than the predetermined call drop percentage threshold.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the call drop percentage of the at least one first grid is determined based on drive test data comprising call drop key performance indicator (KPI) of user equipments (UEs) in the at least one first grid, the call drop KPIs indicating dropped calls in the at least one first grid.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

determine a unique user percentage of the at least one first grid based on a first number of unique users in the at least one first grid and a second number of unique users in the network cluster; and

assign a priority level to the at least one first grid based on the unique user percentage of the at least one first grid.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to assign the priority level by assigning a high priority level based on the unique user percentage of the at least one first grid being greater than a predetermined unique user percentage threshold.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to assign the priority level by assigning a low priority level based on the unique user percentage of the at least one first grid being less than a predetermined unique user percentage threshold.

14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein, based on determining that the call drop percentage of the at least one first grid is greater than the predetermined call drop percentage threshold, the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

determine a call drop percentage of at least one second grid of the plurality of grids, the at least one second grid neighboring the at least one first grid; and

determine whether the call drop percentage of the at least one second grid is greater than the predetermined call drop percentage threshold, wherein the at least one call drop polygon comprises at least a portion of the at least one second grid based on determining that the call drop percentage of the at least one second grid is greater than the predetermined call drop percentage threshold.
