Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the disclosure, its application, or uses. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments disclosed herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
The present disclosure provides a communication method, which may be used by a base station to adjust a downlink coverage extension level corresponding to a terminal, and some embodiments of the communication method of the present disclosure are described below with reference to fig. 1.
Fig. 1 is a flow chart of some embodiments of the disclosed communication method. As shown in fig. 1, the method of this embodiment includes: steps S102 to S108.
In step S102, downlink service data corresponding to the terminal is acquired.
Downlink service data corresponding to the terminal can be acquired through an S11-U interface between an MME (Mobility Management Entity) and an SGW (serving gateway); or acquiring the downlink service data through the S5 or S8 interface. The user plane downlink service data can be acquired by a DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) device deployed by an operator by using a DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) technology.
And acquiring user plane service data through an S11-U interface between the MME and the SGW, namely acquiring downlink service data of all terminals with the MME attached to the network. Different terminals can be distinguished according to the destination address of the downlink service data, and the downlink service data corresponding to each terminal is determined.
In step S104, the downlink traffic quality is determined according to the downlink traffic data.
In some embodiments, the downlink quality of service includes: and the success rate of the downlink service. The total number of successful downlink session acknowledgements and the total number of downlink session requests can be counted according to the downlink service data, the success rate of the downlink service is determined according to the total number of successful downlink session acknowledgements and the total number of downlink session requests, and the quality of the downlink service is determined according to the success rate of the downlink service.
For example, when a CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) is used in the internet of things, the number of downlink CoAP CON (request to be confirmed) event request messages initiated to the terminal and the number of times of successful responses of the CoAP CON event response ACK (response message) messages may be detected, and the ratio of the two may be calculated, so as to determine the success rate of the downlink service. The following formula can be used to calculate the downlink traffic success rate.
Figure BDA0001741700710000061
The higher the success rate of the downlink service is, the higher the quality of the downlink service is. Different threshold ranges of the success rate of the downlink service can be set, corresponding to different downlink service quality grades. And comparing the success rate of the downlink service corresponding to the terminal with a threshold range, thereby determining the quality grade of the downlink service of the terminal.
In some embodiments, the downlink quality of service includes: and (4) downlink service time delay. The total transmission delay of the downlink session and the total number of successful downlink session acknowledgements can be counted, the downlink service delay is determined according to the total transmission delay of the downlink session and the total number of successful downlink session acknowledgements, the downlink service delay is determined, and the downlink service quality is determined according to the downlink service delay.
For example, when the CoAP protocol is adopted in the internet of things, the time stamp of the first data request message of the downlink CoAP CON session initiated to the terminal and the time duration elapsed between the last data response ACK message of the CoAP CON session may be recorded, where the unit is ms and is used as the total transmission delay of the downlink session. And determining the downlink service delay according to the total transmission delay of the downlink session and the number of times of successful response of the CoAPCON event response ACK message. The following formula can be used to calculate the downlink traffic delay.
The smaller the downlink service delay, the higher the downlink service quality. Different downlink service delay threshold ranges can be set, corresponding to different downlink service quality grades. And comparing the downlink service delay corresponding to the terminal with the delay threshold range, thereby determining the downlink service quality grade of the terminal.
In some embodiments, the downlink service quality is determined according to a weighted value of the downlink service success rate and the downlink service delay. Different weights can be set for the success rate of the downlink service and the delay of the downlink service according to requirements or test experience. Because the success rate of the downlink service is positively correlated with the quality of the downlink service, and the delay of the downlink service is negatively correlated with the quality of the downlink service, when the weight is set, the weight of the delay of the downlink service can be considered to be selected as a negative number, so that the larger the weighting result is, the better the quality of the downlink service is. Similarly, different downlink qos threshold ranges may be set corresponding to different downlink qos classes. The downlink service quality grade of the terminal is determined by comparing the weighted value of the downlink service success rate and the downlink service time delay corresponding to the terminal with the quality threshold range.
In step S106, a corresponding downlink coverage extension level is selected according to the downlink service quality.
For example, the downlink service quality may be divided into three levels, and the three levels respectively correspond to three levels of coverage extension levels (CE levels). The CE Level corresponding to the high quality of the downlink service is 0, the CE Level corresponding to the medium quality of the downlink service is 1, and the CE Level corresponding to the low quality of the downlink service is 2. For different terminals, due to different downlink service qualities, the finally determined CE levels corresponding to the terminals may also be different.
In step S108, the downlink coverage extension level is sent to the base station corresponding to the terminal, so that the base station and the terminal perform communication according to the downlink coverage extension level.
In some embodiments, the coverage extension level adjustment command may be sent to the MME corresponding to the terminal through the interactive interface. The coverage extension level adjustment command may include a downlink coverage extension level and an identifier of the terminal. For example, the end user Number MDN (Mobile Directory Number) or IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber identity Number), and the CE Level value may be mapped in the interface protocol. For example, the coverage extension level adjustment command may be sent to the MME via the Diameter protocol.
Further, the MME may find the identifier of the base station corresponding to the terminal and the corresponding S1AP interface according to the identifier of the terminal. After receiving the MDN or IMSI of the terminal and the corresponding CE Level value, the MME network element may associate information such as a base station (eNB) Identifier, an ECGI (E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier, E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier Cell), an MME UE S1AP ID, and an eNB UE S1AP ID of the terminal in the dynamic database.
Further, the MME may send the downlink coverage extension level to the base station corresponding to the terminal through the S1AP interface by using a terminal context modification REQUEST message (UE context modification REQUEST). In the S1AP interface, the UE CE Level parameter field may be newly added in the UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST message, and the MME maps the CE Level value of the terminal to the field, and further sends the field to the base station.
After receiving the CE Level parameter, the base station corresponding to the terminal may update the CE Level value of the terminal according to the eNB UE S1AP ID. And then the base station and the terminal select the corresponding message repeated transmission times according to the CE Level to carry out communication.
The method of the embodiment determines the downlink service quality according to the downlink service data from the base station to the terminal, and further selects the corresponding downlink coverage extension grade according to the downlink service quality and sends the downlink coverage extension grade to the base station, so that the base station and the terminal communicate according to the coverage extension grade. The method of the embodiment does not need to change the signaling flow of the communication between the existing base station and the terminal, and selects the proper coverage extension grade based on the downlink service quality under the condition that the terminal cannot report the measurement report information, so that the downlink service quality can be improved, and the success rate of the downlink service is further improved.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart of further embodiments of the communication method of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the method of this embodiment includes: steps S202 to S214.

Step S204, the communication device determines the downlink service quality of the terminal according to the downlink service data of the terminal.
Step S206, the communication device selects a corresponding downlink coverage extension level according to the downlink service quality.
In step S208, the communication device transmits a coverage extension level adjustment command to the MME corresponding to the terminal through the interactive interface.
The MME may send a message response to the communication device after receiving the coverage extension level adjustment command.
In step S210, the MME may find the identifier of the base station corresponding to the terminal and the corresponding S1AP interface according to the identifier of the terminal.
In step S212, the MME may send the downlink coverage extension level to the base station corresponding to the terminal by using the terminal context modification request message through the S1AP interface.
In step S214, after extracting the CE Level parameter from the terminal context modification request message, the base station updates the CE Level value of the terminal according to the eNB UES1AP ID.
