Detailed description of the invention
Below with reference to accompanying drawing and describe the present invention in detail in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that when not conflicting, the embodiment in the application and the feature in embodiment can be mutually combined.
Providing the construction method of a kind of test environment in the present embodiment, Fig. 1 is the flow chart of the construction method of test environment according to embodiments of the present invention, as it is shown in figure 1, this flow process comprises the steps:
Step S102, obtains the path loss data that the Key Performance Indicator KPI and terminal unit UE of place, field testing region communication network obtain in carrying out field testing process;
Step S104, according to above-mentioned KPI and above-mentioned path loss data construct test environment.
By each step above-mentioned, the technical scheme of the path loss data construct test environment that employing obtains in carrying out field testing process according to the Key Performance Indicator KPI and terminal unit UE of place, field testing region communication network, solve in correlation technique, the problem that the KPI result recorded in laboratory is excessive with outfield measured result difference, greatly improves the accuracy of test result.
In specific implementation process, it is possible to realize step S102 by procedure below: choose outfield, a place actual area as survey region; The KPI measured value of the studies above Local Area Network performance is extracted from the physical device of outfield; The overall path loss data of survey region are obtained by the mode of drive test or emulation.
In order to better realize the technical scheme of step S104, in embodiments of the present invention, can also carry out techniques below scheme before step S104: the studies above region is divided into some subregions, wherein, above-mentioned subregion is made up of the set of geographically adjacent path loss test point, for each above-mentioned subregion, it can be used as an end points, and connect geographically adjacent above-mentioned end points, constitute multiple path. if there is the situation that certain sub regions is made up of some scattered little " block " regions being not attached to lead to, for guaranteeing the connectedness within subregion, then should choose maximum one " block " region of area as this subregion, and abandon other " block ", as shown in Figure 2, Fig. 2 is subregion schematic diagram according to embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, UE can not move in these " blocks " being dropped, in brief, when being made up of multiple regions being geographically not attached to lead to occurs in subregion, the maximum region of area should be selected in above-mentioned multiple regions being not attached to lead to as above-mentioned subregion, and when generating UE movement locus, forbid that UE enters in the region being dropped.
It should be noted that the standard dividing subregion in step S104 is: when above-mentioned UE is when any one sub regions internal motion, switching class KPI index event will not be triggered; Carry out the transregional motion between subregion once above-mentioned UE, namely can trigger switching class KPI index event. According to UE motion institute across the attribute of two sub regions, it is possible to determine which KPI index event concrete triggering is.
After being divided into subregion, if being interpreted as an end points by abstract for each subregion, and two geographically adjacent end points line segments (are called " path ", i.e. route, for the contingent UE of the abstract representation track moved across subregion) it is connected, then obtain " figure " being made up of end point set and path collection, UE can move between subregion through each " path " in figure, as it is shown on figure 3, Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of relation between subregion according to embodiments of the present invention, end points, path.
Alternatively, step S104 is achieved through the following technical solutions: speculates the number of times producing above-mentioned path in timing statistics section according to above-mentioned KPI, and determines the movement locus of above-mentioned UE according to above-mentioned number of times; The above-mentioned test environment of path loss data construct according to sampled point each on above-mentioned movement locus, it should be noted that, number of times according to above-mentioned path determines the method for concrete UE movement locus, can have multiple, the embodiment of the present invention is only enumerated a kind of method and is illustrated, and is not intended to limit the present invention embodiment.
The embodiment of the present invention further improvement is that technique scheme, in order to determine that above-mentioned each path produces the optimal solution of number of times, additionally provides techniques below scheme:
The generation number of times x of all n paths in timing statistics section is calculated according to below equation1, x2����xn:
Wherein, S1, S2����SmFor m in carrying out field testing process above-mentioned value corresponding for switching class KPI, a11,a21����aij, anmRespectively i-th paths contribution margin to jth KPI, i, j, m, n is natural number, x1, x2����xnFor integer.
In order to be more fully understood that the determination process of above-mentioned formula, if in whole survey region the number in above-mentioned path be n, all communities switching class KPI index outfield measured value be S1��Sm, then can according to certain routeiBeginning and end position residing for the attribute of subregion, calculate and obtain this routeiTo KPIjThe contribution margin a of indexij, as shown in following table one:

In order to more improve technique scheme, it is necessary to try to achieve on the basis of each route frequency optimal solution X, thus it is speculated that go out a kind of possible movement locus of outfield UE. Speculating that the method for UE movement locus can not uniquely, as long as can meet after UE completes to move along the movement locus that speculates, the number of times in the above-mentioned path of road warp is equal to the above-mentioned optimal solution X tried to achieve, and this is not construed as limiting by the embodiment of the present invention.
For the method being better understood from above-mentioned supposition UE movement locus, illustrate below in conjunction with a preferred embodiment:
If outfield KPI statistical interval is the time granularity in 15 minutes (minutes), emulation platforms is 1 second (s), when moment T=1s, according to the average UE number of each community in KPI index, and the route number X situation sent in all subregion, the initial value of the initial UE number in all subregion, position, speed and other relevant parameters is set.
Work as T=2s, 3s, 4s ... during 15minutes, each UE is sequentially carried out following steps:
Current whether on a route according to this UE, point following two situation:
If UE currently does random motion (namely UE is not on the route going to other subregions) in certain sub regions, then judge that it is currently located whether subregion has route to have not carried out, if it has, then this UE selects a route to move; Otherwise, this UE remains in this subregion and does random motion.
If UE is current on certain route, then judge whether this UE has walked to be over this route at current time, if it is, this UE transfers to does random motion in the subregion of its arrival; Otherwise move still along this route.
After T=15minutes above-mentioned steps terminates, also need to perform procedure below: checked whether that UE has been not carried out route, if it has, then these UE to reselect the parameter such as initial position, speed, again moved; Whether there is such subregion: the route sent by it is not yet performed, if it has, then to increase initial UE number in this subregion, to complete the route not being performed.
According to the UE movement locus obtained and test zone path loss data, the path loss data that each sampled point on track is corresponding can be checked in, make script data file (the benchmark test environment being namely built into) afterwards for test equipment.
