In the related art, a construction unit may set a plurality of wireless base stations in a construction area, thereby realizing intelligent construction in the construction area. Currently, when a wireless base station is set, a construction unit may select an installation position of the wireless base station according to manual experience. For example, a worker may find an installation location in a building area where installation difficulty is low, and use it as an installation location of a wireless base station. However, the installation position determined according to the manual experience makes the network coverage effect of the wireless base stations worse, for example, the plurality of wireless base stations do not completely cover the area to be covered by the network, or the coverage overlapping rate of the network coverage area composed of the plurality of wireless base stations is higher. This results in lower accuracy in determining the installation position of the wireless base station.

Therefore, the terminal equipment can combine the signal coverage area and the coverage overlapping area corresponding to each installation point set, so that the terminal equipment can accurately determine the target installation point, the signal coverage area of a network signal formed by a plurality of wireless base stations is larger, the coverage overlapping area is smaller, and the accuracy of determining the position of the wireless base stations can be improved.

Wherein, the area a is the network signal of the wireless base station of the installation point a, the area B is the network signal of the wireless base station of the installation point B, and the area C is the network signal of the wireless base station of the installation point C. In this way, the terminal equipment can select a proper installation point in the construction area, so that network signals of the wireless base stations of the installation point can accurately cover all areas to be covered by the network, the accuracy of the installation point determination is further improved, and the network covering effect of the wireless base stations on the areas to be covered by the network is improved.

The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems in detail with specific embodiments. The following embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for determining a mounting point of a wireless base station according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 2, the method may include:

s201, determining a coverage area of the network to be used in the construction area.

The execution body of the embodiment of the application may be a terminal device, or may be a device for determining a mounting point of a wireless base station provided in the terminal device, where the device for determining a mounting point of a wireless base station may be implemented by software, or may be implemented by a combination of software and hardware.

Alternatively, the construction area may be a construction site. For example, the construction area may be an area where construction activities such as house construction, civil engineering, equipment installation, and piping are performed in industrial and civil projects. Optionally, the terminal device may determine the construction area through a drawing. For example, a constructor may input a drawing marking the construction area to the terminal device, and the terminal device may determine the construction area according to the drawing. Alternatively, the terminal device may determine the construction area through the image. For example, in the practical application process, the construction unit may set up the coaming, the wire netting or the enclosure at the edge of the construction area, and the terminal device may obtain the regional images of multiple construction areas, and identify the coaming, the wire netting or the enclosure in the multiple regional images, so as to obtain the construction area in the region.

The area to be covered by the network may be an area in the construction area where network coverage is desired. For example, a building area in a construction area may be an area to be covered by a network, and intelligent construction of the building area may be achieved by covering the network in the building area. Optionally, the construction area further includes an area not covered by the network. For example, the area of the construction area where the building material is stored need not be network covered. For example, the construction area is not covered by a network in areas where steel, cement, sand, etc. are stored.

Alternatively, the area to be covered by the network in the construction area may be determined according to the construction information. For example, if the construction information is the map coordinates of the building area, the terminal device may determine the building area as the area to be covered by the network according to the map coordinates of the building area. For example, if the construction information is that the construction is performed in the construction area a within 1 year, but not in the construction area B, the terminal device may determine that the area to be covered by the network in the construction area is the construction area a, and the construction area B is not required to be covered by the network.

Optionally, the terminal device may determine the coverage area of the network to be covered according to the building drawing. For example, a constructor may mark a range of the construction area and a range of the area to be covered by the network in the construction area in advance in the construction drawing, and after the terminal device obtains the construction drawing, the construction area and the area to be covered by the network may be identified in the construction drawing.

Optionally, a plurality of building drawings and corresponding identifiers of each building drawing may be stored in the terminal device in advance, and when the terminal device receives a drawing processing request input by a constructor, the terminal device may determine the construction area and the area covered by the network through the drawing processing request, where the drawing processing request may include the identifier of the building drawing. For example, when a constructor inputs a drawing processing request to a terminal device, if the drawing processing request includes an identifier a, the terminal device obtains a building drawing a corresponding to the identifier a in a database according to the identifier a, identifies a pre-marked construction area and a network coverage area to be covered in the building drawing a, and if the drawing processing request includes an identifier B, the terminal device obtains a building drawing B corresponding to the identifier B in the database according to the identifier B, and identifies the pre-marked construction area and the network coverage area to be covered in the building drawing B.

Optionally, the area of coverage of the network to be used in the construction area is variable. For example, if the construction information is building No. 1 in the next 1 year, the terminal device may determine that the current area to be covered by the network is No. 1 building area, and if No. 1 building is completed after 1 year, the terminal device may reset the No. 1 building area to an area that does not need network coverage.

Next, a procedure for determining a coverage area to be network in a construction area by a terminal device will be described with reference to fig. 3.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a process for determining a coverage area of a network according to an embodiment of the present application. Please refer to fig. 3, which includes a terminal device. The terminal equipment displays a drawing database, wherein the drawing database comprises an icon of a building drawing A, an icon of a building drawing B and an icon of a building drawing C. When a user clicks an icon of the building drawing A, the terminal equipment can acquire a drawing corresponding to the building drawing A and identify a construction area and a network coverage area to be marked in the building drawing A in advance.

S202, determining a plurality of installation points in a coverage area of a network to be tested.

The mounting point is used to indicate a position where the wireless base station can be mounted. For example, if the terminal device determines that the coverage area of the network includes 10 installation points, a maximum of 10 wireless base stations may be set in the coverage area of the network. Alternatively, a plurality of mounting points may be determined in the coverage area of the network to be covered according to the following possible implementation manner: and acquiring an area image of an area covered by the network. Optionally, the terminal device may acquire an area image of the area covered by the network through the unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, the terminal device may acquire a plurality of initial images obtained by photographing the construction area by the unmanned aerial vehicle, and perform stitching processing on the plurality of initial images, so as to obtain an area image.

The area image is subjected to recognition processing to determine a plurality of objects in the area image. Where the object may be a potential installation point within the coverage area of the network to be covered. For example, the object may be a tower crane, a high building, or the like within the coverage area of the network to be covered. Alternatively, the terminal device may be provided with an image recognition device, and the image recognition device may mark a plurality of objects in the area image when the area image is input to the image recognition device. For example, when the terminal device obtains an area image of an area to be covered by the network, the terminal device may mark objects such as a tower crane and a high-rise building in the area image through the image recognition device.

Object information of a plurality of objects is acquired. Wherein the object information includes a height of the object and occlusion information. Alternatively, the terminal device may determine the height of the object through the area image. For example, when the terminal device determines the tower crane in the area image, the terminal device may accurately determine the height of the tower crane according to a reference object (e.g., a tree beside the tower crane, etc.) in the area image. Alternatively, the terminal device may acquire the object height of the object in the database after determining the object. For example, if the terminal device determines that the object in the area image is building No. 1, the terminal device may obtain the height of building No. 1 in the database.

Optionally, the occlusion information is used to indicate whether an occlusion exists in the area where the object is located. Alternatively, the obstruction may be a building that obscures network signals. For example, the shade may be an object that may block network signals, such as a high-rise building, a high wall, or a steel frame structure around the object. For example, if there are a plurality of high-rise buildings around the tower crane, the shielding information of the tower crane indicates that a shielding object exists in the area where the tower crane is located, and if the periphery of the tower crane is an open area, the shielding information of the tower crane indicates that no shielding object exists in the area where the tower crane is located.

Optionally, the terminal device may determine occlusion information of the object according to the area image. For example, the terminal device determines that the building No. 1 is an object, if the terminal device determines that no other high-rise buildings exist around the building No. 1 or temporary buildings capable of shielding network signals according to the area image, the terminal device determines that no shielding objects exist in the area where the building No. 1 is located, and if the terminal device determines that a plurality of temporary built steel frame structures exist around the building No. 1 according to the area image, the terminal device determines that shielding objects exist in the area where the building No. 1 is located.

And determining the position of at least one object of which the object information meets the preset condition. Optionally, it may be determined that the object information satisfies at least one object of the preset condition according to the following possible implementation manner: judging whether the height of the object is larger than or equal to a preset threshold value or not, and whether the shielding information of the object indicates that no shielding object exists in the area where the object is located or not, if so, the object information meets the preset condition. For example, when the object is a tower crane, if the height of the tower crane is greater than a preset threshold and no shielding object exists around the tower crane, the terminal device determines that the object information of the tower crane meets the preset condition, the terminal device can acquire the position of the tower crane, and if the height of the tower crane is less than the preset threshold or the shielding object exists around the tower crane, the terminal device determines that the object information of the tower crane does not meet the preset condition, and the terminal device does not need to acquire the position of the tower crane. For example, if the object information of the object a satisfies the preset condition and the object information of the object B does not satisfy the preset condition, the terminal device determines the position of the object a, and does not need to determine the position of the object B.

And determining a plurality of installation points according to the position of at least one object of which the object information meets the preset condition. Alternatively, the plurality of mounting points may be determined according to the following possible implementation: and determining the position of at least one object where the object information meets the preset condition as a plurality of installation points. For example, if the terminal device determines that the object information of the object a and the object B satisfies the preset condition and the object information of the object C does not satisfy the preset condition, the terminal device may determine the location where the object a is located and the location where the object B is located as installation points, and further may accurately determine the location where the wireless base station may be installed in the construction area.

Optionally, after the object information of the object meets the preset condition, the terminal device may further determine whether the wireless base station can be installed at the location where the object is located. For example, the terminal device may determine whether or not the wireless base station can be installed at the position where the object is located, based on the object height, the device information on the top of the object, and the like. For example, if the terminal device determines that the object information of the tower crane meets the preset condition, the terminal device may further determine whether the top end of the tower crane can install the wireless base station, or the difficulty level of installing the wireless base station on the top end of the tower crane, if there are other devices on the top end of the tower crane, which results in that the tower crane cannot install the wireless base station, or the installation duration of installing the wireless base station on the top end of the tower crane is longer, the terminal device may delete the position of the tower crane in the plurality of installation points. For example, if the installation point determined by the terminal device includes a position a, a position B, and a position C, and if it is difficult to install the wireless base station at the position a, the installation time period is long, the terminal device may determine that the wireless base station cannot be installed at the position a, and further determine that the installation point includes a position B and a position C. Therefore, the terminal equipment can directly identify the mounting point capable of mounting the wireless base station in the area image, construction staff are not required to go to the field for investigation, and the construction efficiency is effectively improved.

Optionally, the terminal device may display or send, to the preset device, a location where at least one object where the object information satisfies the preset condition is located, and receive a plurality of target locations selected by the user from the locations where at least one object where the object information satisfies the preset condition is located, and determine the target locations as a plurality of installation points. For example, if the terminal device determines that the object information of the object a and the object B satisfies the preset condition, the terminal device may display the positions of the object a and the object B, or send the positions of the object a and the object B to a device used by a constructor, if the constructor clicks the position of the object a, the terminal device determines the position of the object a as an installation point, and if the constructor clicks the position of the object a and the object B, the terminal device determines the positions of the object a and the object B as the installation point. Like this, terminal equipment not only can show a plurality of mounting points, can also adjust the mounting point according to constructor's operation, and then improves the degree of accuracy of confirming the mounting point.

Next, a process of determining a plurality of mounting points will be described with reference to fig. 4.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a process for determining a mounting point according to an embodiment of the present application. Please refer to fig. 4, which includes a terminal device. The terminal equipment displays a drawing database, wherein the drawing database comprises an icon of a building drawing A, an icon of a building drawing B and an icon of a building drawing C. And when the user clicks the icon of the building drawing A, the terminal equipment displays the building drawing A.

Referring to fig. 4, a construction drawing a includes a construction area and a coverage area to be network. The coverage area of the network to be covered comprises an object A, an object B and an object C. If the object information of the object A and the object C meet the preset condition and the object information of the object B does not meet the preset condition, the terminal equipment determines that the position of the object A is the installation point A, the position of the object C is the installation point C, the position of the object B is not the installation point, and the installation point A and the installation point C are displayed.

S203, determining at least one target installation point in the plurality of installation points according to the equipment information of the wireless base station.

Alternatively, the device information of the wireless base station may include a network signal strength of the wireless base station. For example, the device information of the radio base station may be a coverage area of a radio base station network signal. Alternatively, the model of the wireless base station is different, and the device information of the wireless base station is also different. For example, when the transmission power of the radio base station is large, the network coverage of the radio base station is large, and when the transmission power of the radio base station is small, the network coverage of the radio base station is small.

At least one target mounting point may be determined among the plurality of mounting points according to the following possible implementation: a plurality of sets of mounting points are determined from the plurality of mounting points. Wherein the set of mounting points includes at least one mounting point. Alternatively, a plurality of mounting points may be randomly combined to obtain a plurality of mounting point sets. For example, if including mounting point a, mounting point B and mounting point C in the network coverage area, then terminal equipment can determine a plurality of mounting point sets, wherein can include mounting point a, mounting point B, mounting point C in the mounting point set, also can include mounting point a, mounting point B in the mounting point set, through the mode of random combination, can obtain 7 mounting point sets with 3 mounting points random combination.

And acquiring a signal coverage area and a signal superposition area corresponding to each installation point set according to the equipment information of the wireless base station. The signal coverage area is an area covered by a wireless base station signal. For example, if the mounting point set includes mounting points a and B, wireless base stations are mounted at the positions of the mounting point a and the mounting point B, and the range of network signal coverage of 2 wireless base stations is the signal coverage area.

The signal overlapping area is an area where signals overlap between a plurality of radio base stations. For example, if the mounting point set includes the mounting point a and the mounting point B, the wireless base stations are mounted at the positions of the mounting point a and the mounting point B, and the overlapping range of the network signal coverage of the 2 wireless base stations is the signal overlapping region.

And determining a target mounting point set in the plurality of mounting point sets according to the signal coverage area and the coverage overlapping area corresponding to each mounting point set, and determining the mounting point in the target mounting point set as a target mounting point. Wherein, include at least one target mounting point in the target mounting point set, target mounting point is used for installing wireless base station. For example, the signal coverage area corresponding to the target installation point set is larger, so that the wireless base station can effectively cover the coverage area to be network in the construction area, and the coverage overlapping area corresponding to the target installation point set is smaller, so that the cost and network resources of the wireless base station are saved.

The embodiment of the application provides a method for determining a mounting point of a wireless base station, wherein terminal equipment determines a to-be-network coverage area in a construction area, acquires an area image of the to-be-network coverage area, performs identification processing on the area image to determine a plurality of objects in the area image, acquires object information of the plurality of objects, determines a plurality of mounting points according to the object information, and determines at least one target mounting point in the plurality of mounting points according to equipment information of the wireless base station, so that the wireless base station is mounted on the target mounting point. In this way, the terminal equipment can accurately determine the plurality of installation points, select the target installation point suitable for installing the wireless base station from the plurality of installation points by combining the equipment information of the wireless base station, improve the accuracy of determining the installation position of the wireless base station, and further improve the network coverage effect in the coverage area of the network after the wireless base station is installed.

On the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the method steps of determining at least one target installation point among the plurality of installation points based on the device information of the wireless base station in the embodiment shown in fig. 2 will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 5.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a method for determining a target installation point according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 5, the method includes:

s501, determining a plurality of mounting point sets according to the plurality of mounting points.

Optionally, the set of mounting points includes at least one mounting point. After the terminal device determines a plurality of installation points in the coverage area of the network, the terminal device can obtain a plurality of installation point sets by means of random combination. For example, the terminal device may perform permutation and combination on the plurality of mounting points, and further obtain all the mounting point sets corresponding to the plurality of mounting points. For example, when the number of installation points in the coverage area of the network to be treated is 3, since 1 installation point can be included in the installation point set, 7 installation point sets can be obtained by means of permutation and combination.

Optionally, in the practical application process, because the coverage area of the network to be used is relatively large, all the areas cannot be covered by 1 wireless base station, so that constructors can set the minimum number of installation points in the installation point set in the terminal device, so as to improve the efficiency of the installation point determination. For example, to the effect that the network coverage area includes 3 installation points, if the installation point set includes at least 2 installation points, the terminal device can obtain 4 installation point sets through a permutation and combination mode.

S502, acquiring a signal coverage area and a coverage overlapping area corresponding to each installation point set according to equipment information of the wireless base station.

The signal coverage area and coverage overlap area corresponding to each installation point set can be obtained according to the following possible implementation manner: and displaying the virtual area corresponding to the construction area. Wherein, include the virtual mounting point of mounting point set pair drink in the virtual region. For example, the terminal device may simulate the construction area through a simulation tool to obtain a virtual area corresponding to the construction area, and mark virtual installation points corresponding to the installation point set in the virtual area.

And installing the virtual wireless base station at the virtual installation point, and controlling the virtual wireless base station to transmit signals so as to acquire a signal coverage area and a coverage overlapping area corresponding to the installation point set. For example, the terminal device may simulate the transmission signal of the wireless base station at each virtual installation point through a simulation tool, so as to obtain the signal coverage area and the coverage overlapping area corresponding to the installation point set.

Since the signal strengths of the radio base stations are different, it is necessary to simulate the signal transmission condition of each radio base station to accurately determine the signal coverage area and coverage overlapping area of the mounting point set. For example, the virtual area includes 1 virtual installation point, if the network signal of the wireless base station includes a high power signal and a low power signal, the terminal device needs to simulate the wireless base station to transmit the high power network signal and the low power network signal at the virtual installation point, so as to obtain two kinds of network coverage information (signal coverage area and coverage overlapping area), and 1 kind of network coverage information is selected as the signal coverage area and the coverage overlapping area corresponding to the installation point set.

Next, a process of determining the signal coverage area and the signal overlap area will be described with reference to fig. 6.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of network coverage of a wireless base station according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 6, a virtual area is included. Wherein, virtual installation point A, virtual installation point B and virtual installation point C are included in the virtual area. And simulating the transmission signals of the wireless base stations at the virtual installation point A to obtain an area A, simulating the transmission signals of the wireless base stations at the virtual installation point B to obtain an area B, and simulating the transmission signals of the wireless base stations at the virtual installation point C to obtain an area C, wherein the transmission signal power of each wireless base station is the same.

Referring to fig. 6, coverage areas of the area a, the area B, and the area C are signal coverage areas corresponding to the installation point set, and a superposition area between the area a and the area C is a coverage superposition area corresponding to the installation point set. Thus, the terminal equipment can simulate the signal coverage area and the coverage overlapping area corresponding to each installation point set, and further can accurately determine the installation position of the wireless base station.

S503, determining a target installation point set in the plurality of installation point sets according to the signal coverage area and the coverage overlapping area corresponding to each installation point set.

Optionally, according to the signal coverage area and the coverage overlapping area corresponding to each installation point set, determining the target installation point set in the multiple installation point sets, where two possible implementation manners are as follows:

one possible implementation:

and when the signal coverage area is greater than or equal to a first threshold, determining the area of the target area in the coverage coincidence region. For example, when the signal coverage area corresponding to the installation point set is greater than or equal to the first threshold, it is explained that the network signals of the wireless base station simulated at the plurality of installation points corresponding to the installation point set can effectively cover the area to be covered by the network.

Optionally, the target area is an area where the network bandwidth requirement is greater than or equal to a preset bandwidth. For example, the target area may be an area with a large network demand, such as an area corresponding to a building being constructed, an area corresponding to a floor being constructed, or the like.

The set of mounting points having the largest area of the target area and the smallest number of mounting points is determined as the set of target mounting points. For example, if there is only one of the signal coverage areas corresponding to the mounting point sets that is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the mounting point set is determined as the target mounting point set, if there is a plurality of the signal coverage areas corresponding to the mounting point sets that is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the target area in the coverage overlapping area corresponding to each mounting point set is obtained, if there is only one mounting point set with the largest area of the target area, the mounting point set is determined as the target mounting point set, and if there is a plurality of the mounting point sets with the largest area of the target area, the mounting point set with the smallest number of mounting points is determined as the target mounting point set.

In the feasible implementation mode, when the signal coverage area of the installation point set can effectively cover the area to be covered by the network, the terminal equipment can accurately determine the target installation point set through the target area and the installation point number, so that the coverage rate of network signals can be ensured, the cost of wireless base stations is reduced, the network signals of a plurality of wireless base stations exist in the area with larger network requirements, and the reliability and the safety of the network are further improved.

Next, a process of determining the target mounting point in this case will be described with reference to fig. 7.

Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a process for determining a target mounting point according to an embodiment of the present application. Please refer to fig. 7, which includes a signal simulation diagram a and a signal simulation diagram B. The signal simulation diagram A comprises a mounting point A, a mounting point B, a mounting point C, a mounting point D and a mounting point E, and signal areas of each mounting point, wherein all the signal areas can completely cover the area to be covered by the network. The signal simulation diagram B comprises a mounting point a, a mounting point B, a mounting point c and a mounting point d, and signal areas corresponding to each mounting point, wherein all the signal areas can completely cover the area to be covered by the network, and the area to be covered by the network comprises a target area.

Referring to fig. 7, the area of the target area included in the overlapping area of the signal simulation map a and the area of the target area included in the overlapping area of the signal simulation map B are the same, and since the number of mounting points in the signal simulation map B is smaller than that in the signal simulation map a, the mounting point set corresponding to the signal simulation map B is determined as the target mounting point set.

Another possible implementation is:

and determining the installation point set with the signal coverage area being greater than or equal to a second threshold value and the coverage overlapping area being less than or equal to a third threshold value as an alternative installation point set. For example, when the signal coverage area corresponding to the installation point set is greater than or equal to the second threshold, it is indicated that the network signals of the wireless base stations simulated at the plurality of installation points corresponding to the installation point set can effectively cover the area to be covered by the network, and when the coverage overlapping area corresponding to the installation point set is less than or equal to the third threshold, it is indicated that the overlapping ratio between the network signals of the plurality of wireless base stations simulated at the plurality of installation points corresponding to the installation point set is lower, so that network resources and the deployment cost of the wireless base stations can be saved.

And determining the set of the to-be-selected installation points with the least number of the installation points in the set of the to-be-selected installation points as the set of target installation points. For example, if the set of candidate mounting points a includes 10 mounting points, and the set of candidate mounting points B includes 8 mounting points, the set of candidate mounting points B is determined as the set of target mounting points.

In this case, when the signal coverage area corresponding to the set of installation points can effectively cover the network coverage area to be covered, the terminal device can minimize the coverage overlapping area of the network signals, and the set of installation points with the smallest number of installation points is determined as the set of target installation points, and the wireless base station is set at a plurality of target installation points in the set of target installation points. Therefore, the coverage rate of network signals of the wireless base station can be ensured, the deployment cost of the wireless base station can be reduced, and the utilization rate of network resources can be improved.

Next, a process of determining the target mounting point in this case will be described with reference to fig. 8.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of another process for determining a target mounting point according to an embodiment of the present application. Please refer to fig. 8, which includes a signal simulation diagram a and a signal simulation diagram B. The signal simulation diagram A comprises a mounting point A, a mounting point B, a mounting point C, a mounting point D and a mounting point E, and signal areas of each mounting point, wherein all the signal areas can completely cover the area to be covered by the network. The signal simulation diagram B comprises a mounting point a, a mounting point B, a mounting point c and a mounting point d, and signal areas corresponding to each mounting point, wherein all the signal areas can completely cover the area to be covered by the network, and the area to be covered by the network comprises a target area.

Referring to fig. 8, the area of the overlapping region of the signal simulation map a is larger than that of the signal simulation map B, and the number of mounting points corresponding to the signal simulation map B is smaller than that of the object of the signal simulation map a, and therefore, the mounting point set corresponding to the signal simulation map B is determined as the target mounting point set.

S504, the installation point in the target installation point set is determined as a target installation point.

Alternatively, after the terminal device determines the target installation point set, all the installation points included in the target installation point set may be determined as target installation points, and the terminal device may display the positions of the target installation points in the construction area or transmit the positions of the target installation points in the construction area to the preset device so that the constructor may set the wireless base station at the target installation points.

The embodiment of the application provides a method for determining a target installation point, wherein a plurality of installation point sets are determined according to a plurality of installation points, a signal coverage area and a coverage overlapping area corresponding to each installation point set are acquired according to equipment information of a wireless base station, the target installation point set is determined in the plurality of installation point sets according to the signal coverage area and the coverage overlapping area corresponding to each installation point set, and the installation point in the target installation point set is determined as the target installation point. According to the method, the signal coverage area and the coverage overlapping area corresponding to the installation point set can effectively reflect the network coverage effect of the wireless base station, so that the terminal equipment can accurately determine the installation point for installing the wireless base station in the construction area by combining the signal coverage area and the coverage overlapping area, and the network coverage effect of the wireless base station to the network coverage area is improved.

The terminal device can judge the object of each object through preset conditions, and when object information corresponding to the object a, the object b, the object c and the object d meets the preset conditions, the terminal device determines that the network coverage area to be treated comprises the installation point a, the installation point b, the installation point c and the installation point d.

Referring to fig. 9, signal simulation of the wireless base station is performed on the installation points to obtain a signal simulation diagram a and a signal simulation diagram B, wherein the coverage area of the network includes at least 3 installation points. The signal simulation map a includes a mounting point a, a mounting point B, a mounting point c, and a signal area corresponding to each mounting point, and the signal simulation map B includes a mounting point a, a mounting point B, a mounting point c, a mounting point d, and a signal area corresponding to each mounting point.

Referring to fig. 9, since the network signal in the signal simulation diagram a does not completely cover the to-be-network coverage area, the network signal in the signal simulation diagram B completely covers the to-be-network coverage area, and therefore, the set of installation points corresponding to the signal simulation diagram B is determined as the target set of installation points, and the target installation points include: mounting point a, mounting point b, mounting point c, mounting point d. In this way, the terminal equipment can accurately determine the plurality of installation points, select the target installation point suitable for installing the wireless base station from the plurality of installation points by combining the equipment information of the wireless base station, improve the accuracy of determining the installation position of the wireless base station, and further improve the network coverage effect in the coverage area of the network after the wireless base station is installed.
