Femtocell provisioning and service issue optimization
This disclosure describes techniques for optimizing operational performance of femtocell devices deployed within a telecommunications network. More particularly, a femtocell Optimization (FCO) system is described that monitors a performance state of femtocell devices within a telecommunications network, detects a change in performance state of a particular femtocell device, and preemptively deploys a first set of service resolution data to detect a service issue. In response to detecting a service issue, a second set of service resolution data is deployed to preemptively resolve the service issue.

Identification of indoor and outdoor traffic usage of customers of a telecommunications network
Systems and methods to identify whether user traffic is generated indoors (e.g., from within a building) or outdoors for a variety of applications, including improving capacity planning, identifying new products offerings, troubleshooting/planning, competitive analysis, planning optimum locations of capacity planning solution deployment, traffic offload analysis, etc. are disclosed. The method receives and aggregates data from a variety of sources, including customer geolocation data, network data, street/building maps, indoor/outdoor classification of traffic, etc. to generate demand density maps that depict network traffic usage patterns at a building level. The method can then use the demand density maps to identify hotspots, evaluate in-building coverage, and select and rank optimum solutions and/or locations for capacity improvement solutions deployment. As a result, a telecommunications service provider is able to efficiently and economically identify targeted solutions and locations to expand capacity of cell sites and improve customer experiences.

DESIGN METHOD OF HIGH ENERGY EFFICIENCY UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) COMMUNICATION SYSTEM ASSISTED BY INTELLIGENT REFLECTING SURFACE
The present invention provides a design method of a high energy efficiency Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) communication system assisted by an intelligent reflecting surface, and belongs to the technical field of UAV communication network energy efficiency optimization. A communication process comprises two transmission links, one link is directly sent from an information source to an information sink, and the other link is reflected and transmitted by an intelligent reflecting surface attached to a UAV. The two links exist simultaneously. Based on an idea of block iteration, an original problem is decomposed into three sub-problems, and a non-convex optimization problem is transformed into solvable concave-convex fractional program problems by a continuous convex approximation technique. The present invention provides a design method for joint optimization of a passive beamforming of the intelligent reflecting surface, an active beamforming of a base station and a flight trajectory of the UAV

NETWORK QUALITY MEASUREMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM
A network quality measurement method and system are provided. In the method, a movement path and a movement speed of a vehicle device are determined according to a size of a space and an endurance time of the vehicle device, and the vehicle device is controlled to move on the movement path at the movement speed. During a movement of the vehicle device, a network quality in the space is measured according to a measurement frequency to generate network quality data. Whether the network quality in the space is changed is determined according to the network quality data. Whether there is an obstacle around the vehicle device is detected. When it is determined that the network quality in the space is changed or the obstacle is detected around the vehicle device, at least one of the movement path, the movement speed, and the measurement frequency is adjusted.
