METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PREDICTING COMMUNICATION NETWORK LOAD AND PERFORMING LOAD BALANCING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than 4th generation (4G) communication systems such as long term evolution (LTE). According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, provided is an operation method for a server in a wireless communication system, the operation method comprising the steps of: receiving key performance index (KPI) information, cell coverage information, and service quality information about a base station in a sector managed by a KPI database (DB), a cell coverage DB, and a service quality DB; generating a predicted KPI, predicted cell coverage, and predicted service quality information about the base station in the sector on the basis of the KPI information, the cell coverage information, and the service quality information; predicting whether load imbalance will occur in the base station in the sector on the basis of the predicted KPI, the predicted cell coverage, and the predicted service quality information; and determining a load balance (LB) parameter rule set including one or more predicted LB parameters on the basis of the prediction about whether the load imbalance will occur; and transmitting the LB parameter rule set to the base station in the sector.
