Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for using indoor location information to iteratively plan radio-based networks. In one embodiment, locations of a plurality of wireless devices are determined in a radio-based network having an initial cell arrangement. Heat map data is generated based at least in part on the locations of the plurality of wireless devices. A modification to the initial cell arrangement is generated to optimize coverage of the radio-based network based at least in part on the heat map data.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a radio-based network operated by a cloud service provider on behalf of an organization, the radio-based network covering a building using an initial cell arrangement with one or more radio units;
- and
- at least one computing device configured to at least:
- determine locations of a plurality of wireless devices in the radio-based network and bandwidth usage at the locations, the locations being determined based at least in part on at least one of:
- sounding frames sent to the plurality of wireless devices or channel state information;
- generate heat map data based at least in part on the locations of the plurality of wireless devices and the bandwidth usage at the locations;
- and
- generate a modification to the initial cell arrangement to optimize coverage of the radio-based network based at least in part on the heat map data.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- determining locations of one or more wireless devices in a radio-based network having an initial cell arrangement;
- generating heat map data based at least in part on the locations of the one or more wireless devices;
- and
- generating a modification to the initial cell arrangement to optimize coverage of the radio-based network based at least in part on the heat map data.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to at least:
- determine locations of one or more wireless devices in a radio-based network having an initial cell arrangement;
- generate heat map data based at least in part on the locations of the one or more wireless devices;
- and
- generate a modification to the initial cell arrangement to optimize coverage of the radio-based network based at least in part on the heat map data.
