However, considering economical aspects and efficiency, It is necessary to install a wireless LAN from an area where the number of subscribers is high, such as a hospital, a coffee shop, or a restaurant, so as to reduce the load on the base station.

Conventionally, base stations to be offloaded are selected considering the generated traffic for each base station of the mobile communication network. In order to find an area suitable for installing the wireless LAN in the service area of the selected base station, Surveys were conducted. For example, in order to find an optimum location for installing a wireless LAN access point (AP) in a service area of a WCDMA network, a traffic density area is inquired through an Internet portal access amount survey, The location of the point was judged sensibly.

Therefore, the installation location of the wireless LAN is changed according to the tendency of the task person in charge, and the effect of the load reduction is changed according to the skill of the task person.

As shown in the figure, the network installation guidance method by the network system is a method in which the terminal traffic analysis apparatus analyzes the connection history of the mobile communication network by the mobile communication terminal and transmits the identification information of the mobile communication terminal to the base station traffic analysis apparatus A step S221 of requesting the network installation guide apparatus to extract identification information of the mobile communication terminal by the connected base station and time slot to the base station traffic analysis apparatus at step S221, Identifying the mobile communication terminal that generates traffic in the selected area based on the traffic amount in the service area by the specific base station constituting the mobile communication terminal, and then requesting the network installation guide device to analyze the location of the mobile communication terminal (S231 to S237), a network (S241 to S253) of requesting the position measurement apparatus to the position measurement apparatus for positional analysis of the mobile communication terminal requested to analyze the position (S241 to S253), and the network installation guide apparatus transmits the position measurement result to the mobile communication terminal (S261, S263) of providing guidance information including analysis results obtained by cumulatively statistically analyzing the position measurement results of the mobile communication terminals separated for each base station after being separated for each base station within the set period.

Hereinafter, a network installation guide process by a network system including the network installation guide device will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. FIG. In the following description, a description will be made of a process of providing guidance information including the density of a mobile communication terminal, which is an example of a traffic-inducing terminal, in a network system to facilitate understanding of the description.

First, the terminal traffic analysis apparatus 140 analyzes the connection history by the mobile communication terminals in the mobile communication network (S211), generates the identification information list of the mobile communication terminal by the connected time zone, (S213). For example, an MDN (Mobile Directory Number) can be used as the identification information of the mobile communication terminal.

In addition, the network installation guide device 120 requests the base station traffic analyzing device 130 to extract the identification information of the mobile communication terminal for each connection time zone in the specific base station constituting the mobile communication network (S221).

Then, the base station traffic analyzing apparatus 130 selects at least one of a plurality of areas based on the amount of traffic in the service area by the specific base station (S231).

Next, the base station traffic analyzing apparatus 130 extracts the earliest time zone of the selected area in step S231 (S233), grasps the identification information of the mobile communication terminal causing the traffic in the extracted time zone (S235) And transmits the identification information of the mobile communication terminal to the network installation guide device 120 (S237).

Then, the network installation guide device 120 requests the position measuring apparatus 110 to measure the position of the mobile communication terminal connected most recently (S241), and the position measuring apparatus 110 determines the position of the corresponding mobile communication terminal After the measurement (S251), the measurement result is transmitted to the network installation guide device 120 (S253, S301).

Then, the information separating unit 122 of the network installation guide device 120 separates the location measurement result for the mobile communication terminal by the base station (S303), and the information analyzing unit 123 analyzes the location measurement result for the mobile communication terminal The position measurement results are cumulatively analyzed within the set period and analyzed (S261, S305).

The information analysis unit 123 of the network installation guide apparatus 120 can perform analysis such as grasping the density of each area in a plurality of areas within a specific base station. 5, a reference area in a specific base station is set, and a mobile communication terminal having a connection history in the reference area is represented as "point" as in (A). Then, "circle" is drawn based on the point as shown in (B). (C), except for the overlap area, the "circle" with a small number of "points" is excluded. Finally, the order of density is determined by arranging in the order of the number of "points" in the "circle" as in (D). For example, the number of "points" in " circle " can be grasped by using a distance calculation formula that can calculate distances on latitude from arbitrary points and distances on hardness from arbitrary points.

However, assuming that the number of "points" in the reference area is 1,000, the computation performance is adversely affected since 1,000,000 times of distance calculation is required. In order to solve this problem, the calculation time can be reduced by constructing an index table using a nested boundary checking algorithm as illustrated in FIG. When the radius d is 30, first, the X coordinate values corresponding to the X coordinate 56 + 30 and 56-30 are extracted based on the X and Y coordinates 56 and 65, and the Y coordinate values 65 + 30 and 65- 30 is extracted. Thus, only five out of a total of 1000 coordinates are subjected to distance calculation to reduce computation time.

On the other hand, when determining the rank of density, it is possible to use a weight value when considering the density based on user (number) and the density based on traffic (amount). For example, it is possible to weight the user reference density more than the traffic reference density to determine the ranking of the density. In addition, when determining the radius for area selection, it is possible to consider the density, the address extraction and the presence of the building in the area, and the area ratio of the circle in the total area of the base station service area can be considered. For example, the case where the area ratio is minimum and the density is high is advantageous in terms of accuracy.

In addition, the information analysis unit 123 of the network installation guide device 120 accumulates and analyzes the location measurement results for the mobile communication terminals separated by the base stations within the set period (S261).

Next, the information processing unit 124 of the network installation guide device 120 processes the guide information including the analysis result by the information analysis unit 123 into a list form as shown in the example of FIG. 7, Processing in the same graphic form.

Finally, the information providing unit 126 of the network installation guide apparatus 120 outputs and provides guidance information processed by the information processing unit 124 in the form of a list or graphic so that the user can recognize the information (S263, S307 ).
