Embodiments of this disclosure provide a method and apparatus for wireless network deployment and terminal device. The method includes: selecting a node needing to be currently deployed according to planned network information and deployed network information; calculating deployment quality of the node needing to be currently deployed at multiple test positions; and selecting a test position of highest deployment quality as a deployment position of the node needing to be currently deployed. With the embodiments of this disclosure, deployment quality of an actual deployment position of a wireless network node may be evaluated, such that actual deployment satisfies a requirement on network planning.

A method of verifying battery and/or equipment connections in a telecommunications site includes performing maintenance or installation of one or more components in a shelter associated with the telecommunication site; subsequent to the maintenance or installation, adding a torque mark to each connection associated with the one or more components; verifying the torque mark for each connection as part of a close-out audit; and verifying the torque mark at a subsequent time after the close-out audit to verify each connection is properly torqued.

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.

Provided in the example embodiments are a communication method employing a Bluetooth network, and a node and a communication system applying the same. The communication method applicable to a Bluetooth end node includes: if there is a relay node in neighboring Bluetooth nodes, performing data communication via the relay node; and if there is no relay node in the neighboring Bluetooth nodes, sending a relay configuration request message by broadcast to request a gateway node to select and configure a relay node from the neighboring Bluetooth nodes. The communication method employing a Bluetooth network, and the node and the communication system applying the same provided in the example embodiments can flexibly configure a minimum number of relay nodes according to an actual network topology, thereby preventing the problem in which many relay nodes in a network result in forwarding of a large number of broadcast packets and consequently affect the throughput of the network.

The present invention relates to a robust coverage method for relay nodes in a double-layer structure wireless sensor network. The present invention is a local search based relay node 2-coverage deployment algorithm which, by means of reducing the global deployment problem to a local deployment problem, achieves optimal deployment whilst ensuring robustness. The method specifically comprises two steps: first 1-coverage and second 1-coverage, wherein the first 1-coverage comprises the three steps of construction of relay node candidate deployment locations, grouping of sensor nodes and local deployment of relay nodes, wherein the sensor nodes are grouped by means of a novel grouping method, and the complexity of the algorithm is reduced whilst ensuring optimal deployment. The second 1-coverage adjusts a threshold, selects from every group the sensor nodes covered by just one relay node, and uses a 1-coverage method to re-implement 1-coverage of the sensor nodes, thereby ensuring robustness, reducing the number of relay nodes deployed, and shortening the problem-saving time.
