Description

  In the present invention, when installing wireless communication equipment such as a small wireless base station (Femto) such as a femto and a small wireless repeater such as a home repeater (small repeater) on the site, Based on predetermined installation conditions, it is determined which wireless communication equipment should be installed or which wireless communication equipment can be installed based on broadband line availability information such as the installation location of the mobile phone, the installation environment including the wireless communication environment, etc. The present invention relates to a wireless communication facility installation support system, an installation support server, an installation support terminal, installation support software, and an installation support method.

  Conventionally, a large number of wireless base stations are installed as an infrastructure for wireless communication (for example, cellular communication). These radio base stations generally provide a relatively wide communication area with a radius of several hundred m to several tens of km, which is called a macro cell. By the way, due to the nature of radio waves, even in a macro cell, there are places where the radio wave strength is low and the communication quality deteriorates in geographically and physically disadvantageous environments such as near the boundary with adjacent macro cells, indoors, and underground. Arise.

  Conventionally, in such places, radio waves with low radio field intensity from a macro cell radio base station called a home repeater are received, amplified, and output indoors and received by a portable terminal. When a radio wave is received from a terminal, it is amplified and wirelessly output to the outside so that the macro cell radio base station can receive a small repeater or a relatively narrow communication with a radius of several tens of meters called a femto cell. This is complemented by methods such as installing a small femto base station that provides the area. Such small repeaters and femto base stations are generally installed in homes and small offices (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the communication system according to Patent Document 1, a femto base station is installed in a subscriber premises of optical communication, and a mobile phone used in the subscriber premises is connected to the accommodation station through the in-house femto base station, It is connected to various networks such as a network, a general telephone switching network, or a mobile communication switching network.

  By the way, when installing a femto base station, it is necessary to consider the relationship with a neighboring base station so as not to cause interference with radio waves from other femto base stations or macro cells. Therefore, when the service operator receives an application for installation of a wireless communication facility such as a femto base station from the applicant, the service operation side will visit the site to investigate whether or not the femto base station can be installed. After confirming the environment, a femto base station is installed.

  However, the conditions for installing a femto base station include the availability of broadband lines, the absence of overlapping installations with existing small repeaters, and places where base station installation is restricted (in addition to nearby radio reception conditions) For example, there are various conditions such as the presence or absence of a medical institution, but there may be cases where the application information and the conditions confirmed in the actual site may be different, especially the desired installation position in the application and the information of the installation position actually confirmed in the field Is different, it is very important to correct the information on the installation position to the correct position due to the problem of radio wave interference with neighboring macro cells. In addition, when a broadband line cannot be prepared and the predetermined requirements such as the direction of the macro cell base station and the altitude at which the wireless communication equipment is installed are satisfied, the installation of a small repeater may be more optimal. However, such selection and installation were not made in the field survey. Therefore, because of the installation of the femto base station, even if you visit the site, it cannot be installed on the day of the survey due to incomplete application information, inadequate conditions due to the difference between the application information and the site conditions, and you must go to the site again. In many cases, it will be troublesome twice, and the work of the workers will increase and become complicated, and the period from application acceptance to base station installation will be prolonged, and the overall cost of base station installation will increase. There was a problem.

(Investigation method)
The investigation method of the present invention can be implemented by operating the wireless communication facility installation support system having the above configuration. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an outline of the investigation method according to this embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the installation environment investigation processing according to this embodiment. Here, in the installation condition database 232, it is assumed that the coordinate information on the map and the installation conditions at each position are stored in association with each other in advance.

(1) Outline of Survey Method As shown in FIG. 4, first, when an applicant inputs application information for installation of a femto base station using the terminal device 3 (S101), the information is wireless communication equipment installation support. It is transmitted to the management server 2 (S102). This information is information related to the survey desired position, and includes coordinate information on the map.

  In the wireless communication facility installation support management server 2, when receiving the application information (S103), the application receiving unit 221 stores the application information in the applicant database 233 in association with the identifier for identifying the applicant (S104). Thereafter, the survey content determination unit 222 determines the survey date and the dispatched business from this application information, refers to the installation conditions, determines the installation conditions regarding the application information, and sends these information to the terminal device 3. Transmit (S105). The terminal device 3 acquires information such as the survey date and displays it on the screen (S106). In addition, the survey content determination unit 222 transmits survey application data to the wireless communication facility installation support terminal 1 of a predetermined trader (S107). At this time, the applicant information such as the name and address of the applicant is also transmitted.

  The wireless communication facility installation support terminal 1 receives the survey application data and stores it in the memory 15 (S108), and then the worker visits the survey location on the survey date and time. At this time, when the wireless communication facility installation support software is executed, the UI control unit 14a displays information such as the address of the applicant to be visited on the screen (S109).

  Thereafter, when the worker who owns the wireless communication facility installation support terminal 1 arrives at the destination (S110) and the worker performs an operation for arrival at the wireless communication facility installation support terminal 1, the UI control unit 14a displays an on-site arrival screen as shown in FIG. 6 and accepts an operation for acquiring position information within an area where radio waves reach (S111).

  Specifically, when the position information acquisition icon 303 displayed on the local arrival screen is tapped, a map is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 7A, and the address input at the time of application is displayed. A cursor 304 is displayed on the screen. At this time, the worker determines whether or not the place where the investigation is actually performed is on the cursor, and if it is not on the cursor, the worker drags the cursor to an accurate place. The UI control unit 14a moves the cursor 304 in response to the drag operation. At this time, the position information acquisition unit 17 calculates the latitude / longitude of the moved cursor and displays the latitude / longitude information 305 on the screen. Thereafter, when the worker presses the determination icon 306, the cursor position is determined as the investigation place, and information on the latitude and longitude is input (S112). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7B, the map on the screen can be enlarged, and accurate position information can be confirmed and corrected.

The UI control unit 14a compares the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 17 with the coordinate information included in the application information, and determines whether or not the position has been corrected . Here, when the position information and the coordinate information match and there is no correction , the process waits without changing the installation conditions. Thereafter, the worker moves to a survey place where radio waves do not reach (S11 3 ).

On the other hand, when the position information is different from the coordinate information and the worker corrects the position information , the corrected position information is transmitted to the wireless communication facility installation support management server 2 . When the installation condition changing unit 223 of the wireless communication facility installation support management server 2 acquires the corrected position information, the installation condition changing unit 223 refers to the installation condition database 232, changes the installation condition, and wirelessly communicates the changed installation condition data. It transmits to the terminal 1 for equipment installation support .

The wireless communication facility installation support terminal 1 stores the changed installation conditions in the memory 15 . Thereafter, the worker moves to an investigation place where the radio wave does not reach (S11 3 ) . At the survey site, the worker conducts surveys of the installation environment, such as confirmation of radio wave conditions, and equipment installation, and inputs the results of the survey, installation work, etc. at the desired survey location (S11 4 ). Thereafter, when the worker finishes the survey and moves to a place where the radio wave reaches (S1 15 ), the usage information transmitting unit 16 automatically associates the location information with each acquired survey result to automatically support the installation of the wireless communication equipment. It transmits to the management server 2 (S1 16 ).

When the terminal data receiving unit 225 receives the survey result data (S1 17 ), the terminal data receiving unit 225 updates the information in each database. Specifically, position information and radio wave state information when that are sent to the radio condition updating unit 226, information of the radio wave condition is updated on the map in the radio wave condition database 234. On the other hand, the installation environment other than the radio wave status and the application information added or changed are added to and updated in the applicant database 233 together with the position information under the control of the survey status update unit 227. Thereafter, the installation condition changing unit 223 changes the installation conditions based on the updated information in the applicant database 233 and transmits the changed installation conditions to each wireless communication facility installation support terminal 1 via the data transmission unit 224.

Here, a text box 317 for inputting a measurement location, a text box 318 for inputting a numerical value of electric field intensity (dBm) indicating a radio wave reception level, and a text box for inputting a numerical value of Ec / No indicating a radio wave noise level. 319 and a text box 320 for inputting the identification code SC of the base station that emits the received radio wave are displayed, and accepts the input of numerical values measured by the worker using the radio wave measuring device. The measurement location can be selected from a pull-down menu 321 displayed on another screen.

  When the input of the radio wave measurement value is completed, the installation availability determination unit 14b refers to the installation conditions stored in the memory 15 or the installation conditions changed by the condition change unit based on the acquired survey result, and the installation conditions are determined. It is determined whether it is satisfied, and it is determined whether a base station can be installed in the specific area A2 (S207). At this time, the installation possibility determination unit 14b switches the determination result as to whether or not the installation condition is satisfied based on each piece of selected information. For example, the installation feasibility determining unit 14b exclusively selects and selects the femto base station or the home repeater according to the geographical condition at the survey desired position and the radio wave reception status from the adjacent existing antenna base station. According to the communication equipment, the judgment result of whether or not the installation condition is satisfied is switched. Further, for example, the installation possibility determination unit 14b switches the determination result as to whether or not the installation condition is satisfied according to the type of the antenna base station and the condition relating to the altitude of the desired survey position.

  If it is determined that the area is not installable (“N” in S207), as shown in FIG. 12, an item 322 that is not installable and a reason item 323 that does not match the conditions are displayed. The applicant is informed that it cannot be installed, receives the input of the applicant's signature in the signature space 324 displayed on the screen, and ends the investigation work.
