Abstract
Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method and server for processing geo-information including receiving, at the Geo-Information System server, a geo-view identifier; sending an indication whether a geo-view identified by the geo-view identifier is available, the geo-view comprising a schema identifier, wherein a schema identified by the schema identifier describes a data format comprising location information and one or more characteristics of the conditions in the cellular network; receiving data in a format consistent with the identified schema; and storing the received data in a data store.
Claims12
A method performed by a Geo-Information System server for processing geo-information related to conditions in a cellular network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the Geo-Information System server, a geo-view identifier;
- receiving data in a format consistent with the identified schema;
- storing the received data in a data store, wherein a plurality of different schemas are defined, applications are configured to query the Geo-Information Server for which schemas are available for a given location and the Geo-Information Server returns information used for identifying a given schema;
- sending an indication whether a geo-view identified by the geo-view identifier is available, the geo-view comprising a schema identifier, wherein a schema identified by the schema identifier describes a data format comprising location information and one or more characteristics of the conditions in the cellular network;
- where the characteristics of the conditions in the cellular network include one or more of geometric shapes specifying Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) contour lines, spatial extent of shading objects, and terrain contour lines;
- where the location information comprise data elements representing one or more of estimated accuracy, method of detection, speed, bearing, and estimated distance to a fixed point;
- and
- where a geo-view comprises data elements representing one or more of path loss from antennas, and locations of antennas.
