FIELD OF INVENTION
[0002] The present disclosure generally relates to communication
technology. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system and a method for visualization of coverage data using grid to tile conversion.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The following description of the related art is intended to provide
background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admission of the prior art.
[0004] In the field of telecommunications, network coverage plays a crucial
role in ensuring reliable and high-quality service for users. With the widespread deployment of mobile networks across PAN India, network operators face the

challenge of efficiently managing and analyzing the vast amount of coverage data generated by their networks. This data includes various Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power), SINR (Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio), and DL (Downlink) Throughput.
[0005] Traditionally, analyzing network coverage required extensive field
visits and manual data collection, which was time-consuming, expensive, and often impractical due to the scale of the network. However, with advancements in technology and the availability of crowdsourced measurement data, a more efficient and cost-effective approach has emerged.
[0006] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide a method and a system
that can overcome the shortcomings of the existing prior arts.

[0038] The present disclosure relates to a system and method for visualizing
25 coverage data using grid-to-tile conversion. The system is designed to help planning and optimization teams analyze network performance efficiently without extensive field visits.
[0039] The system divides a map into an area of tiles using a tile division
module. Each tile is further divided into a grid area, where each tile may be mapped
10

to its parent tiles by a grid mapping module. A grid plotting module determines the exact positions of these grids within the parent tiles. The grid conversion module then assigns a specific color to each grid based on key performance indicator (KPI) values such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Signal-to-Interference-5 plus-Noise Ratio (SINR), and Downlink (DL) throughput. These colored pixels are merged to a corresponding tile by a pixel merging module, and the final image is saved by a storage module for analysis.
[0040] The method for visualizing coverage data involves dividing the map
into 50x50 meter tiles, mapping each 5x5 meter grid to its parent tile, plotting the 10 position of each grid within the parent tile, converting each grid to a pixel with a color based on KPI values, and merging the pixels to corresponding tile for each tile to save the image.
[0041] The system includes a data augmentation module to enhance
coverage data accuracy by combining crowdsourced measurement data with 15 prediction data at a 5x5 meter granularity. A user interface module allows users to apply custom legends and ranges for KPIs, facilitating tailored visualizations.

Among other capabilities, the one or more processor(s) (202) may be configured to fetch and execute computer-readable instructions stored in a memory (204) of the system (108). The memory (204) may be configured to store one or more computer-readable instructions or routines in a non-transitory computer readable storage
25 medium, which may be fetched and executed to create or share data packets over a network service. The memory (204) may comprise any non-transitory storage device including, for example, volatile memory such as random-access memory
14

(RAM), or non-volatile memory such as erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM), flash memory, and the like.
[0057] In an embodiment, the system (108) may include an interface(s)
(206). The interface(s) (206) may comprise a variety of interfaces, for example, 5 interfaces for data input and output devices (I/O), storage devices, and the like.

15

[0059] In an embodiment, the processor (202) may receive a set of
measurement data via the data parameter engine (212). The set of measurement data may be received from the one or more computing devices (104) associated with the one or more users (104). The processor (202) may store the measurement in the 5 database (210). The processor (202) may view and analyze a set of Key Performance Indictors (KPIs) of a network coverage in a PAN India network. The system (202) may generate a set of predictions for the set of KPIs at a configurable granularity.
[0060] The memory (204) is configured to store computer-readable
10 instructions or routines in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, which may be fetched and executed to perform various functions of the system (108). The memory (204) may include volatile memory such as random-access memory (RAM) or non-volatile memory such as erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), flash memory, and the like. For instance, the memory (204) 15 may store the instructions for grid-to-tile conversion, KPI mapping, and image saving.
[0061] The interface(s) (206) may comprise a variety of interfaces, such as
interfaces for data input and output devices (I/O), storage devices, and the like. The interface(s) (206) facilitate communication through the system (108) and provide a 20 communication pathway for the components of the system (108). For example, the interface(s) (206) may enable the system (108) to receive crowdsourced measurement data and prediction data from external sources.
[0062] The system (108) further includes processing engine(s) (208) which
may comprise a tile division module (222), a grid mapping module (224), a grid 25 plotting module (226), a grid conversion module (228), a pixel merging module (230), and a storage module. The processing engine(s) (208) may be implemented as a combination of hardware and programming to perform the functions described below.
16

[0063] The tile division module (222) of the processing engine (208) is
configured to divide a map of an area into a plurality of tiles, each tile may represent a 50x50 meter area or any other dimension as per requirement since the title can be of any shape such as geometric shape (for example, square, hexagon, etc.). These 5 initial tiles for example define a subarea of the area i.e., 50x50 meter area act as parent tiles. For example, the map may be divided into multiple tiles to facilitate detailed coverage analysis. This division allows the system (108) to handle large datasets by breaking them down into manageable sections.
[0064] The grid mapping module (224) of the processing engine (208) maps
10 each 5x5 meter grid within a tile to its corresponding parent tile. For instance, within each 50x50 meter tile, there are 100 grids of 5x5 meters each, which are mapped to their parent tile to maintain hierarchical spatial data. This hierarchical mapping ensures that the data is organized efficiently and can be accessed quickly for further processing. Each parent tile is then further divided into smaller grids by the grid 15 mapping module (224).
[0065] Since each grid resides within a specific parent tile, identifying the
parent tile for a particular grid involves understanding its location within the overall
map. In an embodiment, the system (108) may employ a spatial mapping
mechanism to achieve this. For example:
20 . Each parent tile may be assigned a unique identifier or reference.
. The location of each grid within the parent tile (determined by its 5x5 meter
position) may be encoded using a specific coordinate system relative to the
parent tile’s origin (top-left corner).
. By combining the parent tile identification with the grid’s relative location
25 within that tile, the system (108) may be configured to identify grid position
in the corresponding parent tile.
[0066] The grid plotting module (226) of the processing engine (208) plots
the position of each grid within the corresponding parent tile. This involves
determining the exact location of each 5x5 meter grid within the 50x50 meter tile.
17

By plotting these positions accurately, the system (108) can create a precise representation of the coverage data.
[0067] The grid conversion module (228) of the processing engine (208)
converts each grid to a pixel with a specific color based on a KPI value from the set 5 of KPIs. For example, a grid with a high RSRP value may be converted to a green pixel, while a grid with a low RSRP value may be converted to a red pixel. This color-coding based on KPI values allows for easy visualization and interpretation of the data.
[0068] The pixel merging module (230) of the processing engine (208)
10 merges pixels for each corresponding tile. This step involves merging all the colored pixels to a corresponding tile to create a coherent image that represents the coverage data for that tile. The merging process ensures that the final image is a comprehensive representation of the coverage data, showing variations in coverage across the area.
15 [0069] The storage module of the processing engine (208) saves the merged
pixels as an image representing the coverage data. This image can be used for visual analysis and reporting. By saving the data as an image, the system (108) provides a user-friendly format for further analysis and decision-making.
[0070] In an embodiment, the system (108) may also include a data
20 augmentation module configured to augment crowdsourced measurement data with prediction data to generate a continuous coverage layer at a 5x5 meter granularity for key network KPIs, including RSRP, SINR, and DL Throughput. For example, crowdsourced data from the user equipment (104) may be combined with network predictions to create a detailed and continuous coverage map. This augmentation 25 enhances the accuracy and completeness of the coverage data.
[0071] Additionally, the system (108) may include a user interface module
(206) that may allow the user (102) to apply different ranges and colors for the selected KPI as per use case, providing custom legends and ranges to visualize the
18

KPIs effectively. For example, the user (102) can customize the color range for SINR values to better interpret the data according to their requirements. This customization capability allows users to tailor the visualization to their specific needs, improving the utility of the data.
5 [0072] In an embodiment, the legend is a visual key within the image that
associates different colors with selected KPI value.
[0073] KPI values typically represent signal strength, signal-to-noise ratio,
or throughput. These values can range from low to high. In an embodiment, custom ranges allow the user (102) to define the specific range of KPI values they want to 10 represent using a particular color in the legend.
[0074] The system (108) enables planning and optimization teams to
analyze coverage issues in specific areas without any field visit by visualizing the saved image representing the coverage data. This visualization assists in generating various coverage analytics modules such as coverage hole identification and 15 coverage analysis reports. For instance, an optimization team can identify coverage gaps in urban areas by analyzing the visualized coverage data. By providing a clear and detailed view of the coverage data, the system (108) supports effective network planning and optimization.
[0075] Although FIG. 2 shows exemplary components of the system (108),
20 in other embodiments, the system (108) may include fewer components, different components, differently arranged components, or additional functional components than depicted in FIG. 2. Additionally, or alternatively, one or more components of the system (108) may perform functions described as being performed by one or more other components of the system (108). For example, the system (108) might 25 include additional modules for handling more complex data processing tasks or integrating with other network management systems.
[0076] FIG. 3 illustrates an example flow diagram (300) for visualization of
coverage data using grid-to-tile conversion, in accordance with an embodiment of
19

the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the following steps may be implemented by the system (108) for the visualization of coverage data using grid-to-tile conversion.
[0077] At step 302, the system (108) may divide the map into tiles of 50m
5 x 50m. This step involves breaking down the entire map of India into smaller, more manageable sections called tiles. Each tile represents a 50x50 meter area, allowing the system to process and analyze coverage data in smaller segments rather than dealing with the entire map at once. This tiling process helps in organizing the data spatially and makes subsequent processing steps more efficient.
10 [0078] At step 304, the system (108) may map the 5m x 5m grid to the
parent tile. Within each 50x50 meter tile, the system further divides the area into smaller grids, each measuring 5x5 meters. These smaller grids are then mapped to their corresponding parent tile. This hierarchical mapping helps in maintaining the spatial relationship between the grids and the tiles, ensuring that each grid is
15 accurately located within its larger tile. For example, a grid located at coordinates (10, 10) within a tile is mapped precisely to that tile's position in the overall map.
[0079] At step 306, the system (108) may plot grid positions in the tagged
parent tile. In this step, the exact position of each 5x5 meter grid is determined and plotted within the corresponding 50x50 meter parent tile. This involves tagging 20 each grid with its coordinates and ensuring that it is accurately placed within the parent tile. The plotting process creates a detailed spatial representation of all grids within each tile, which is essential for accurate data visualization.
[0080] At step 308, the system (108) may convert the grid to a pixel with a
specific color based on a KPI value from a set of KPIs. Each grid is assigned a color 25 based on the value of the KPI value from the set of KPIs, such as RSRP, SINR, or DL Throughput. For instance, a grid with a high RSRP value may be converted to a green pixel, indicating strong signal strength, while a grid with a low RSRP value may be converted to a red pixel, indicating weak signal strength. This color-coding makes it easy to visualize and interpret the KPI values across different regions.
20

[0081] At step 310, the system (108) may merge the pixels for the
corresponding tile and save the merged pixels as an image. In this final step, all the colored pixels within each tile are combined to create a coherent image that represents the coverage data for that tile. The merged image provides a visual 5 summary of the KPI values across the entire tile. The system then saves this image for further analysis and reporting. This image can be used by planning and optimization teams to identify coverage issues, generate reports, and make informed decisions about network improvements.
[0082] FIG. 4A illustrates a map of India showing the coverage data across
10 the country. The map is divided into multiple tiles, each representing a 50x50 meter area. Different colors on the map represent varying levels of coverage, indicating the strength and quality of the network in different regions. For example, areas with strong coverage may be shown in blue, while areas with weaker coverage may be shown in red.
15 [0083] FIG. 4B provides a more detailed view of the coverage data for a
specific region. This zoomed-in view shows the coverage data at a finer granularity, allowing users to see the variations in network performance at a more localized level. The color gradient, ranging from green to red, indicates the strength of the signal, with green representing strong coverage and red representing weak
20 coverage.
[0084] FIG. 4C shows a legend indicating the RSRP (Reference Signal
Received Power) values in dBm (decibels relative to one milliwatt). The legend uses a color gradient to represent different ranges of RSRP values. For example, values from -140 dBm to -113 dBm are shown in red, values from -105 dBm to -25 100 dBm are shown in orange, values from -95 dBm to -90 dBm are shown in green, and values from -90 dBm to -40 dBm are shown in blue. This legend helps users to easily interpret the coverage data visualized on the map.
[0085] FIG. 4D illustrates the custom legends and ranges functionality of
the user interface module. Users can define custom ranges and assign specific colors
21

to these ranges based on their use case. For instance, in this example, three ranges are defined:
Range 1: -100 dBm to -40 dBm, shown in blue.
Range 2: -120 dBm to -100 dBm, shown in light blue.
5 Range 3: -140 dBm to -120 dBm, shown in red.
[0086] This customization capability allows users to tailor the visualization
according to their specific requirements, making it easier to analyze and interpret the coverage data.
[0087] By utilizing these custom legends and ranges, the system (108)
10 provides a flexible and user-friendly way to visualize coverage data, helping planning and optimization teams to identify and address network issues more effectively.
