US 11,115,832 B2 · Method and device for network design in wireless communication system

Abstract

Disclosed are a communication technique of merging, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system, and a system therefor. The disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, security and safety related services, and the like) on the basis of 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a network design method of a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: setting at least one environmental element related to millimeter wave (mmWave) propagation, on the basis of image information within a set map; grouping a design area within the map into at least one detailed area; and designing a network.
