All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort, based on the embodiments in this disclosure are intended to be within the scope of this disclosure.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the adjacent sector of the first sector can be acquired based on the technologies of a base station, a sector, a beam and the like; the beams of the first sector and the adjacent sectors of the first sector are arranged according to the four-color theorem, so that the arrangement of the sector beams can be completed according to the distribution of the sectors.

The following first describes some terms of the present disclosure:

the four-color theorem (one of the three mathematical problems in the modern world), also called four-color guesses, is one of the three mathematical guesses in the world. The content of the four-color problem is that "any one map can be colored with different colors for countries having a common boundary with only four colors. That is, a map is marked with four colors without confusion.

Base station sectors, in a cellular communication network, base stations may be located in the center of a cell with omni-directional antennas forming a circular coverage area, which is the "center excited" mode. The base stations can also be arranged on three vertexes of a hexagon of each cell, each base station adopts three pairs of 120-degree sector-shaped radiating directional antennas to cover areas of three third of three adjacent cells respectively, each cell is commonly covered by three pairs of 120-degree sector antennas, which is a vertex excitation mode, and the area covered by each pair of antennas is a base station sector. In the present application, a base station has 1 or more sectors, each sector having an antenna array for projecting beams. The antenna arrays of sectors of the same base station are all mounted on the base station.

Wave beam refers to the shape of an electromagnetic wave emitted by an antenna array on the earth's surface (e.g., a beam of light emitted as a flashlight to the dark). There are mainly global beams, spot beams, shaped beams. They are determined by the transmit antennas. In the present application, a base station has 1 or more sectors, each sector having an antenna array for projecting beams. The antenna arrays of sectors of the same base station are all mounted on the base station. The antenna arrays of each sector are divided into a plurality of groups, each group of antenna arrays projecting one beam. For example, the antenna array of a sector can be divided into seven groups of 0-6, each group projecting one beam, e.g., beam number 0, beam number 1, etc.

The scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure relates to four-color theorem, base station, sector, beam and other technologies.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein acquiring the contiguous sector of the first sector comprises:

acquiring longitude and latitude of antenna arrays of all sectors;

acquiring an adjacent sector table stored in a database;

and acquiring the adjacent sector of the first sector according to the longitude and latitude of the antenna arrays of all the sectors and the adjacent sector table.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein obtaining the contiguous sector of the first sector based on the latitude and longitude of the antenna array of all sectors and the contiguous sector table comprises:

acquiring the pairwise distances between the sectors in all the sectors according to the longitudes and latitudes of the antenna arrays of all the sectors;

acquiring adjacent sectors to be confirmed of the first sector according to the pairwise distances between the sectors in all the sectors;

acquiring a sector which coincides with a to-be-confirmed adjacent sector of the first sector in the adjacent sector table as an adjacent sector of the first sector;

and determining the rest adjacent sectors of the first sector through further field confirmation for the adjacent sectors to be confirmed of the first sector which are not overlapped with the adjacent sector table.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein obtaining the neighbor sectors to be confirmed of the first sector based on the pairwise distances between sectors in the all sectors comprises:

and determining the sectors with the distances between the sectors and the first sector being less than or equal to a first distance as adjacent sectors to be confirmed of the first sector.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein arranging beams of the first sector and adjacent sectors of the first sector according to a four-color theorem comprises:

dividing the beams into a first group of beams, a second group of beams, a third group of beams and a fourth group of beams, wherein each group of beams comprises N types of beams, N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the beams of the groups of beams are different from each other;

disposing 1 or more beams of the first set of beams at an edge region of the first sector;

1 or more beams of the second set of beams are arranged at an edge region of a first adjoining sector of the first sector.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein arranging beams of the first sector and adjacent sectors of the first sector according to a four-color theorem further comprises:

disposing 1 or more beams of the third set of beams at an edge region of a second adjoining sector of the first sector;

1 or more beams of the fourth set of beams are arranged at an edge region of a third contiguous sector of the first sector.

7. An arrangement of base station sector beams, comprising:
