Abstract

A communication design support apparatus includes: a propagation model storage unit configured to store a propagation model; a site survey unit configured to collect data obtained by measuring a structure; a data processing unit configured to update a parameter of the propagation model; and a radio field intensity estimation unit configured to estimate a radio field intensity in the structure by applying the propagation model having the parameter having been updated.

Claims (32)

1 . A communication design support apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store a propagation model; and

a processor configured to:

collect data obtained by measuring a structure,

update a parameter of the propagation model, and

estimate a radio field intensity in the structure by applying the propagation model having the parameter having been updated.

2 . The communication design support apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to:

receive input of information indicating an estimated base station position, an estimation system, and a use environment, and

estimate the radio field intensity in the structure on the basis of the information having been input.

3 . The communication design support apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to:

acquire relative coordinate information, point cloud data, and radio field intensity data, and

estimate the radio field intensity in the structure on the basis of acquired data.

4 . The communication design support apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the processor is configured to:

receive input of data indicating a shape of a structure in a new environment and select data indicating classification of a characteristic of a communication environment in the structure on the basis of the data having been input, and

estimate the radio field intensity in the structure by applying the propagation model according to the characteristic of the communication environment having been selected.

5 . The communication design support apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to perform a function selected in accordance with a user operation from among:

collecting data obtained by measuring a structure, or receiving input of information indicating an estimated base station position, an estimation system, and a use environment, or acquiring relative coordinate information, point cloud data, and radio field intensity data;

receiving input of data indicating a shape of a structure in a new environment and selecting data indicating classification of a characteristic of a communication environment in the structure on the basis of the data having been input;

updating a parameter of the propagation model; and

estimating a radio field intensity in the structure by applying the propagation model having the parameter having been updated, or estimating the radio field intensity in the structure on the basis of the information having been input, or estimating the radio field intensity in the structure on the basis of acquired data, or estimating the radio field intensity in the structure by applying the propagation model according to the characteristic of the communication environment having been selected.

6 . A communication design support method performed by a computer storing a propagation model, the method comprising:

collecting data obtained by measuring a structure;

updating a parameter of the propagation model; and

estimating a radio field intensity in the structure by applying the propagation model having the parameter having been updated.

7 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a propagation model and a program for causing a computer to:

collect data obtained by measuring a structure,

update a parameter of the propagation model, and

estimate a radio field intensity in the structure by applying the propagation model having the parameter having been updated.
