The collection analysis and value analysis of wireless mobile network resources at the geographic area level are the basis of analysis such as network coverage analysis, urban network cooperative operation, complaint situation analysis, user development change and the like, but the analysis is also difficult. In the prior art, the determination of the access network equipment home area is mainly performed according to the longitude and latitude of the geographic position. In this way, regardless of the actual coverage area of the access network device, the site is forcibly assigned to a certain area only through latitude and longitude planning of the access network device, which may cause inconsistency between the actual coverage area of the access network device and the divided assignment area. Further, the evaluation and analysis of wireless mobile network resources on this basis may be biased, affecting the application of the results of the analysis of network development, traffic decisions and user behavior.

The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining a home area of an access network device according to an embodiment of the present application. The present embodiment relates to a specific procedure of how to determine the home zone of an access network device. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:
s201, acquiring sampling point data in a measurement report MR of the access network equipment and sampling point data in an application service report OTT.
The MR is one of the bases for evaluating the environmental quality, and the sampling point data in the MR may refer to the location data of the user when the user is in a call. When MR sampling is performed, data may be sent on the traffic channel every 480ms for information, or every 470ms for information on the signaling channel, which may be used for network evaluation and optimization.

In this step, when the server obtains the sampling point data in the MR and the sampling point data in the OTT, the number of sampling points of the access network device falling into each region may be determined based on the sampling point data in the MR and the sampling point data in the OTT.
In some embodiments, the server may determine, according to the sampling point data in the MR, an initial number of sampling points of the access network device falling into each area, and correct, according to the sampling point data in the OTT, the initial number of the sampling points of the access network device falling into each area, to obtain the number of the sampling points of the access network device falling into each area.

After the sampling point data in the MR and the sampling point data in the OTT are obtained, the sampling point data in the MR and the sampling point data in the OTT may be firstly collected according to a predetermined sampling range, and the number of sampling points of the access network device in the sampling range is determined.

In some embodiments, a weighting algorithm may be adopted, and different weights are given to the sampling point data in the MR and the sampling point data in the OTT, and then the weighted sampling point number of each region is calculated through the weighted sampling point data. And then, comparing the number of the weighted sampling points of each area, and taking the area with the largest number of the weighted sampling points as the home area of the access network equipment. In other embodiments, the weighted sampling point number may also be determined by using a two-stage set iterative calculation.
S204, sending an indication message to the terminal equipment, wherein the indication message is used for indicating the home area of the access network equipment.
In this step, after determining the home region of the access network device, the server may send an indication message for indicating the home region of the access network device to the terminal device.
Table 1 is a network resource enhancement judgment rule table, and in some embodiments, after receiving the indication message, the terminal device may perform enhancement judgment of the network resource in multiple dimensions based on table 1, so as to determine whether to add or reduce access network devices in the area.
