Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to wireless communication systems employing Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) as part of a distributed wireless network. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a DAS network that utilizes traffic monitoring of mobile devices of a distributed wireless network. Traffic monitoring may be used to monitor the DAS network performance and generate analytics of individual mobile devices.
Claims20
A system for obtaining analytics in a Distributed Antenna System (DAS), the system comprising:
- a first digital remote unit (DRU) in communication with a mobile device;
- a second DRU in communication with the mobile device;
- a third DRU in communication with the mobile device;
- and
- a server computer comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions, executable by the processor, the instructions comprising:
- collecting first key performance indicator (KPI) data for the mobile device from the first DRU, wherein the first KPI data comprises at least one of a first power level and a first transmission time,
- obtaining a first location of the first DRU,
- collecting second KPI data for the mobile device from the second DRU, wherein the second KPI data comprises at least one of a second power level and a second transmission time,
- obtaining a second location of the second DRU,
- collecting third KPI data for the mobile device from the third DRU, wherein the third KPI data comprises at least one of a third power level and a third transmission time,
- obtaining a third location of the third DRU, and
- determining a geolocation of the mobile device using the first location and at least one of the first power level and the first transmission time, the second location and at least one of the second power level and the second transmission time, and the third location and at least one of the third power level and the third transmission time.
A method for determining a geolocation of a mobile device in a Distributed Antenna System (DAS), the method comprising:
- collecting first key performance indicator (KPI) data for the mobile device from a first digital remote unit (DRU), wherein the first KPI data comprises at least one of a first power level and a first transmission time;
- obtaining a first location of the first DRU;
- collecting second KPI data for the mobile device from a second DRU, wherein the second KPI data comprises at least one of a second power level and a second transmission time;
- obtaining a second location of the second DRU;
- collecting third KPI data for the mobile device from a third DRU, wherein the third KPI data comprises at least one of a third power level and a third transmission time;
- obtaining a third location of the third DRU;
- and
- determining the geolocation of the mobile device using the first location and at least one of the first power level and the first transmission time, the second location and at least one of the second power level and the second transmission time, and the third location and at least one of the third power level and the third transmission time.
