Abstract
Beamforming monitoring apparatus and method are disclosed. The method, comprises receiving (300) parameter data of radio connections between transceivers of a radio access network, the parameter data comprising transmission direction of the beams used in transmission and quality indicators related to transmitted beams; organising (302) data into one or more layers based on parameter data and connections at a given time resolution; receiving (304) a selection of layers at a given time instant; receiving (306) a selection of a view type; and controlling (308) displaying of the selected layers of the given time instant using the selected view type.
Claims19
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
- receiving parameter data of radio connections between transceivers of a radio access network, the parameter data comprising transmission direction of the beams used in transmission and quality indicators related to transmitted beams;
- organising data into one or more layers based on parameter data on radio connections at a given time resolution,
- wherein the one or more layers comprises at least one different time instance of at least one of a 1st layer with beams of a given cell, a 2 nd layer with a user of the given cell, or a 3rd layer with one or more beams of a given user;
- receiving a selection of layers at a given time instant of the different time instances;
- receiving a selection of a view type;
- controlling displaying of the selected layers of the given time instant using the selected view type.
