As described above, in a network installation guide method using a network system, a terminal traffic analysis device analyzes a connection history of a mobile communication network by a mobile communication terminal and transmits identification information of the mobile communication terminal to a base station traffic analysis device for each time zone. (S211, S213), the network installation guide device requesting the base station traffic analysis device to extract the identification information of the mobile communication terminal for each connected base station and time zone (S221), and the base station traffic analysis device is a mobile communication network After identifying the identification information of the mobile communication terminal causing the traffic in the selected area based on the traffic volume in the service area by the specific base station constituting the step of requesting the network installation guide device to analyze the location of the mobile communication terminal (S231 to S237) and the network Step (S241 to S253) receiving the result of the position measurement device for the mobile communication terminal requesting the location analysis request is provided to the location measurement device (S241 to S253), and the network installation guide device for the position measurement result for the mobile communication terminal And providing guidance information including an analysis result obtained by accumulating and analyzing the location measurement result for the mobile communication terminal separated by the base station within the set period after separation by base station (S261, S263) and the like.

Hereinafter, a network installation guide process by a network system including a network installation guide apparatus will be described in time series with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. In the following description, a process of providing guide information including a density of a mobile communication terminal, which may be an example of a traffic inducing terminal, in a network system will be described for clarity.

First, the terminal traffic analysis apparatus 140 analyzes the access history by the mobile communication terminals in the mobile communication network (S211) to generate a list of identification information of the mobile communication terminal for each time zone connected to the base station traffic analysis apparatus 130. It transmits to (S213). For example, MDN (Mobile Directory Number) may be used as identification information of the mobile communication terminal.

In addition, the network installation guide apparatus 120 requests the base station traffic analysis apparatus 130 to extract identification information of the mobile communication terminal for each access time zone in a specific base station constituting the mobile communication network (S221).

Then, the base station traffic analysis apparatus 130 selects at least one of the plurality of areas based on the amount of traffic in the service area by the specific base station (S231).

Next, the base station traffic analysis apparatus 130 extracts the busiest time zone of the region selected in step S231 (S233), and identifies identification information of the mobile communication terminal causing traffic in the busiest time zones extracted (S235). The location analysis is requested while transmitting the identification information of the latest time zone and the mobile communication terminal to the network installation guide apparatus 120 (S237).

Then, the network installation guide device 120 requests the position measurement device 110 to measure the position of the mobile communication terminal connected to the time zone (S241), and the position measurement device 110 determines the position of the corresponding mobile communication terminal. After the measurement (S251), the measurement result is transmitted to the network installation guide device 120 (S253, S301).

Thereafter, the information separation unit 122 of the network installation guide apparatus 120 separates the position measurement result for the mobile communication terminal by base station (S303), and the information analysis unit 123 for the mobile communication terminal separated for each base station. The position measurement result is analyzed by cumulative statistics within the set period (S261, S305).

The information analyzing unit 123 of the network installation guide apparatus 120 may perform analysis such as determining the density of each region for a plurality of regions within a specific base station. Referring to this process through the example of FIG. 5, a reference area in a specific base station is set, and a mobile communication terminal having a connection history in the reference area is represented by "dot" as shown in (A). Then, a "circle" is drawn based on the point as shown in (B). As shown in (C), the " circles " having a small number of " points " Finally, as shown in (D), the number of "points" in the "circle" is sorted in order of increasing density ranking. For example, the number of "points" in the "circle" can be grasped using a distance calculation formula that can calculate the distance on latitude from any point, the distance on longitude from any point, and the like.

However, assuming that the number of "points" in the reference area is 1,000, the distance should be calculated 1,000,000 times, which adversely affects the calculation performance. To improve this, as shown in FIG. 6, an index table using a nested boundary checking algorithm may be configured to reduce computation time. When the radius d is 30, first, the X coordinate values corresponding to the X coordinates 56 + 30 and 56-30 are extracted based on the X and Y coordinates 56 and 65, and the Y coordinate 65 + 30 and 65- Extract the Y coordinate value corresponding to 30. Thus, only five of the total 1000 coordinates perform distance calculation to reduce the calculation time.

On the other hand, when determining the priority, when the user (number) based density and the traffic (quantity) based density are considered, weighting may be used. For example, priorities may be determined by weighting the user-based density more than the traffic-based density. In addition, when determining the radius for the selection of the area, it is possible to consider the density, whether the address extraction of the area and the presence of the building, and may consider the area ratio of the circle in the total area of the base station service area. For example, the case where the area ratio is minimum and the density is high is advantageous in terms of accuracy.

In addition, the information analysis unit 123 of the network installation guide apparatus 120 may analyze the location measurement results for the mobile communication terminals separated by base stations by accumulating statistics within a set period (S261).

Next, the information processing unit 124 of the network installation guide apparatus 120 processes the guide information including the analysis result by the information analysis unit 123 into a list form as shown in the example of FIG. It is processed in graphic form together.

Finally, the information providing unit 126 of the network installation guide apparatus 120 outputs and provides the user to recognize the guide information processed in the form of a list or graphic by the information processing unit 124 (S263, S307). ).
