A new method to improve 5G coverage of urban grid roads by Yejiang ZHANG, Jie CHEN, Jian HU, Xiaokang YANG, Yun LU, Teng LIANG

“…Urban grid road is an important use scenario for mobile communication users.Compared with other static scenes, UE mobility on the road leads to relatively poor customer perception.The traditional urban grid road test optimization has some pain points, such as incomplete regulation, low optimization efficiency, repeated work orders, no focus and so on.A new method to improve 5G coverage of urban grid roads was proposed.The proposed method introduces the concept of problem circle, realizes the effective aggregation of sporadic test problem points, and uses“aggregation degree” and “repetition degree” to quantitatively identify the priority of test problems.By introducing the concepts of “ideal azimuth” and “appropriate cell”, the method of the optimal coverage cell of the problem circle was proposed, which can effectively output the optimization scheme of the problem circle.This method has been deployed in the current network and effectively supports the test and optimization of urban grid roads.The 5G coverage rate has increased from 89.95% to 98.86%.…”
