Abstract

Method of autonomous detection and positioning method of indoor wireless network faults, the method comprising: building an indoor three-dimensional spatial structural model and an indoor transmitting antenna model of a target building, calculating the signal strength of the indoor transmitting antenna model inside the target building according to a ray-tracing propagation model algorithm to determine key testing positions of the target building, each key test position being associated to an individual transmitting antenna and maximizing the difference between the signal strength generated by its corresponding antenna and that generated by other antennas, deploying mobile phones with an automatic dial testing function at the key testing positions of indoor wireless networks and starting the dial testing mobile phones when the wireless networks are idle, collecting measurement reports reported by the dial testing mobile phones, detecting and locating faults of indoor networks and devices according to the measurement reports.
